Okay so...
x² = 5x + 24 move it, so one side equals zero.
x² - 5x - 24 =0 factors of 24 is 3 and 8 when you subtract 8 from 3 you get -5.
(x+3)(x-8)
x+3= 0 or x-8=0
x= -3 or x=8

b. 2x² - 5x + 1=0
quadratic formula = -b +-√b²-4ac / 2a
a= 2 b= -5 c=1
-(-5) +-√(-5)² - 4(2)(1) / 2(2)

5+-√25 - 8 / 4
=5 +- √17 / 4

x= 5/4 + √17 / 4 or x= 5/4 - √17/4

i couldn't find the plus-minus sign that why there's (+-)
i hope this helps! :)

Mr. Red's first year salary is $30,000 and it increases by $500 each year. What is the explicit rule for this sequence in simpli

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The required recursive function will be expressed as an = 3000 + 500n

<h3>How to write recursive functions</h3>

Given the following parameters

First year salary = $30,000

If it increases by $500 each year, let the number of years be "n", then the increment after "n" years is 500n

The required recursive function will be expressed as an = 3000 + 500n

How do you determine the area under a curve in calculus using integrals or the limit definition of integrals?

RSB [31]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider

$y = f(x)$

To find the area under the curve $y = f(x)$ between $x = a$ and $x = b$ , all we need is to integrate $y = f(x)$ between the limits of $a$ and $b$ .

For example, the area between the curve y = x² - 4 and the x-axis on an interval [2, -2] can be calculated as:

$A=\int _a^b|f\left(x\right)|dx$

= $\int _{-2}^2\left|x^2-4\right|dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum\:Rule}:\quad \int f\left(x\right)\pm g\left(x\right)dx=\int f\left(x\right)dx\pm \int g\left(x\right)dx$

$=\int _{-2}^2x^2dx-\int _{-2}^24dx$

solving

$\int _{-2}^2x^2dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \int x^adx=\frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1},\:\quad \:a\ne -1$

$=\left[\frac{x^{2+1}}{2+1}\right]^2_{-2}$

$=\left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]^2_{-2}$

computing the boundaries

$=\frac{16}{3}$

Thus,

$\int _{-2}^2x^2dx=\frac{16}{3}$

similarly solving

$\int _{-2}^24dx$

$\mathrm{Integral\:of\:a\:constant}:\quad \int adx=ax$

$=\left[4x\right]^2_{-2}$

computing the boundaries

$=16$

Thus,

$\int _{-2}^24dx=16$

Therefore, the expression becomes

$A=\int _a^b|f\left(x\right)|dx=\int _{-2}^2x^2dx-\int _{-2}^24dx$

$=\frac{16}{3}-16$

$=-\frac{32}{3}$

$=-10.67$ square units

Thus, the area under a curve is -10.67 square units

The area is negative because it is below the x-axis. Please check the attached figure.
