Answer:

x = -3 + √5 and x = -3 - √5

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine f and g:

f = x^2 -2x

+g = 6x + 4

-------------------------

(f + g)(x) = x^2 + 6x + 4

Set this result = to 0 and solve for x:

By completing the square, we get:

y = x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9 + 4, or

y = (x + 3)^2 - 5 = 0

Thus, (x + 3)^2 = 5, and:

x + 3 = ±√5, or

x = -3 + √5 and x = -3 - √5

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) =x^2 -2x\:\: and \:\: g(x) = 6x + 4\\(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) \\(f+g)(x) = x^2 -2x+ 6x + 4\\(f+g)(x) = x^2+4x + 4\\(f+g)(x) = (x+2)^2\\ 0 = (x+2)^2...[\because (f+g)(x) =0]\\0 = x+2\\\therefore x = -2$

Is (x-3) a factor of f(x) = x^2 - 32?

Leokris [45]

Answer:

$No$

Explanation:

Here, we want to use the factor theorem to check if the given linear expression is a factor of the binomial

Now, according to the factor theorem, a factor of a polynomial would leave no remainder when divided by it

Mathematically, it means when we substitute the factor value into the polynomial, it is expected that the remainder is zero is the substituted is a factor of the polynomial

We set x-2 to zero:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ x-2 = 0} \\ x\text{ = 2} \end{gathered}$

Now, we substitute 2 into the polynomial as follows:

$f(2)\text{ = }2^2-32\text{ = 4-32 = -28}$

There is a remainder of -28 and thus, the linear factor is not a factor of the binomial

in a recent semester at a local university 520 students enrolled in both general chemistry and calculus 1. Of these students 88

IceJOKER [234]

Let Ch and C denote the events of a student receiving an A in <u>ch</u>emistry or <u>c</u>alculus, respectively. We're given that

P(Ch) = 88/520

P(C) = 76/520

P(Ch and C) = 31/520

and we want to find P(Ch or C).

Using the inclusion/exclusion principle, we have

P(Ch or C) = P(Ch) + P(C) - P(Ch and C)

P(Ch or C) = 88/520 + 76/520 - 31/520

P(Ch or C) = 133/520

4r-2=4r-2 what's the solution? can have either have many solutions or none

butalik [34]

That "equation" has an infinite number of "solutions", because
no matter what 'r' is, it's always a true statement.

The statement is equivalent to saying "I am I." or "You are you."
