It is obvious that the radicals with negative sign tends to be less than those that are positive. So from there you already know a basic order. Now to be sure, you can use a calculator or just solve by squaring the whole number to find the radical form.
Rearrange the equation to standard form of a quadratic equation (ax^2+bx+c=0) by switching sides: 5x^2+2x-12=0. Now, use the quadratic equation formula to solve. You should come out with x_1=sqrt61-1/5 and x_2=-1+sqrt61/5. Thus, your answer is B, or two solutions.
Answer:
Rule: replace x by x - a where a is the number of units that you want to move right. a must be greater than 0. x - - a would move left.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want f(x) to move 3 units to the right.
That would mean that x would be replaced by x - 3. Just to be sure let's try it.
- Suppose you have f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 5 It is graphed as the red line
- Now suppose you want to move 3 units right.
- It would replaced like f(x - 3) = (x - 3)^2 + 6(x - 3) + 5 which is the blue line
- Notice nothing else is changed. The blue line looks exactly like the red line except that it is shifted 3 units to the right.
(0,15)(1,45)
slope = (45 - 15) / ( 1 - 0) = 30 mph
