Answer:
10x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x + 5) added to 2(2x - 4) is the same as 3(2x +5) + 2(2x - 4)
Remember PEMDAS
P – Parentheses (distribution)
E – Exponents
M – Multiplication
/D – Division (whichever comes first from left to right)
A – Addition
/S – Subtraction (whichever comes first from left to right)
First, we will distribute the left side.
3(2x + 5)
3 * 2x = 6x
3 * 5 = 15
Add them together to get:
6x + 15
6x + 15 + 2(2x - 4)
We must now distribute the right side.
2 * 2x = 4x
2 * -4 = -8
Add them together to get:
4x -8
We now have:
6x + 15 + 4x - 8
<u>Let's combine like terms.</u>
6x and 4x are like terms.
Combine: 6x + 4x = 10x
15 and -8 are like terms.
15 - 8 = 7
Now we have 10x + 7
Since 10 and 7 don't have any GCF, we have our answer.
10x + 7

recall that a tangent line that's horizontal has a slope of 0 and the value of "x" is simply the critical points.
one may note that we can get two more critical points from zeroing out the denominator, but those critical points are usually asymptotic and the equation is not differentiable at those points.
