|2x - 1|  =  | - x - 2|

Thus ;

2x - 1 =  - x - 2

Add both sides x

2x + x - 1 =  - x + x - 2

3x - 1 =  - 2

Add both sides 1

3x - 1 + 1 =  - 2 + 1

3x =   - 1

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}  =  \frac{ - 1}{3}  \\

x =  -  \frac{1}{3}  \\

<h2>Or </h2>

2x - 1 =  - ( - x - 2)

2x - 1 = x + 2

Subtract both sides x

2x  - x  - 1 = x - x + 2

x - 1 = 2

Add both sides 1

x - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1

x = 3

There u go ...

Rite cut riding lawnmower obeys the demand equation p=-1/20x+1060. The cost of producing x lawnmowers is given by the function c
slega [8]
A.) Revenue = price * quantity = px = -1/20x^2 + 1060x
R(x) = -1/20x^2 + 1060x.

b.) Profit = Revenue - Cost = R(x) - C(x) = -1/20x^2 + 1060x - 120x - 5000
P(x) = -1/20x^2 + 940x - 5000

c.) For maximum profit, dP/dx = 0
-1/10x + 940 = 0
1/10x = 940
x = 940 * 10 = 9,400
x = 9,400
Maximum profit = P(9400) = -1/20(9400)^2 + 940(9400) - 5000 = $4,413,000

d.) The price to be charged for maximum profit = -1/20(9400) + 1060 = $590

If f(1) = 0, what are all the roots of the function f(x)=x^3+3x^2-x-3? Use the Remainder Theorem.
Sophie [7]
There's no if about it, 

f(x)=x^3+3x^2-x-3&#10;

has a zero f(1)=0 so x-1 is a factor.   That's the special case of the Remainder Theorem; since f(1)=0 we'll get a remainder of zero when we divide f(x) by x-1.

At this point we can just divide or we can try more little numbers in the function.  It doesn't take too long to discover f(-1)=0 too, so  x+1 is a factor too by the remainder theorem.  I can find the third zero as well; but let's say that's out of range for most folks.

So far we have 

x^3+3x^2-x-3 = (x-1)(x+1)(x-r)

where r is the zero we haven't guessed yet.  Again we could divide f(x) by (x-1)(x+1)=x^2-1 but just looking at the constant term we must have

-3 = -1 (1)(-r) = r

so

x^3+3x^2-x-3 = (x-1)(x+1)(x+3)

We check f(-3)=(-3)^3+3(-3)^2 -(-3)-3 = 0 \quad\checkmark

We usually talk about the zeros of a function and the roots of an equation; here we have a function f(x) whose zeros are

x=1, x=-1, x=-3
