Answer:
x = 1.87
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 - 5 + 1 = 3
2x^2 = 3 + 5 - 1
2x^2 = 7
x^2 = 7/2
x = √3.5
x = 1.87082.....
x = 1.87 ( 3 significant figures )
9. The curve passes through the point (-1, -3), which means

Compute the derivative.

At the given point, the gradient is -7 so that

Eliminating
, we find

Solve for
.

10. Compute the derivative.

Solve for
when the gradient is 2.




Evaluate
at each of these.


11. a. Solve for
where both curves meet.





Evaluate
at each of these.



11. b. Compute the derivative for the curve.

Evaluate the derivative at the
-coordinates of A, B, and C.



12. a. Compute the derivative.

12. b. By completing the square, we have

so that

13. a. Compute the derivative.

13. b. Complete the square.

Then

A=2b
a+b=87
a=4x-2
a=87-2x+1
4x-2=88-2x
6x=90
x=15
b=29
a=58
Y= (2×2)- 4 +3/4 = 12/4 or 3 that I'd the best of my
Group 1:
divide number of muffins by number of students
=8 ÷ 12
=8/12
reduce by 4
=2/3 muffins each in group 1
Group 2:
=6 ÷ 15
=6/15
reduce by 3
=2/5 muffins each in group 2
Add fractions together:
= 2/3 + 2/5
need common denominator
multiply 2/3 by 5 and 2/5 by 3 for common denominator of 15
=(2/3 * 5/5) + (2/5 * 3/3)
=(2*5/3*5) + (2*3/5*3)
= 10/15 + 6/15
= 16/15
= 1 1/15 muffin
ANSWER: Carmine gets 1 1/15 muffins because she was in both groups. She received 2/3 in one group, 2/5 in another group and added together she received 1 1/15 muffins.
Hope this helps! :)
