Solve by factoring and list only the positive solution: 2x2 - 5x = 88

It has to be noted that there are several ways to factor the item. One of these is shown below.

The general form of a quadratic equation is,
Ax² + Bx + C = 0

where A and B are numerical coefficients and C is the constant. If we are to express the given equation in this form,
2x² - 5x - 88 = 0

The sum of the roots, x₁ and x₂ is -B/A and the product is equal to C/A.

Sum: x₁ + x₂ = -(-5/2) = 5/2
Product: x₁x₂ = -88/2 = -44

The values of x₁ and x₂ are 8 and -11/2.

The factors are (x - 8) and (x + 11/2)

<em>ANSWERS: 8 and -11/2. </em>

Answer:

$(x-y)^4=x^4-x^3y+6x^2y^2-4xy^3+y^4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the polynomial that will result from expanding:

$(x-y)^4$ .

Recall that we can use the Pascal's triangle to obtain the coefficient as:

1 4 6 4 1

Also note how the negative sign is going to alternate.

The <em>power of x </em>will decrease from left to right while the <em>power of y</em> increases from left to right

The expansion then becomes:

$(x-y)^4=x^4-x^3y+6x^2y^2-4xy^3+y^4$ .

The equations that must be solved for maximum or minimum values of a differentiable function w=f(x,y,z) subject to two constrai

sammy [17]

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda,\mu)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(4x^2+4y^2-z^2)+\mu(2x+4z-2)$

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$L_x=2x+8\lambda x+2\mu=0\implies x(1+4\lambda)+\mu=0$

$L_y=2y+8\lambda y=0\implies y(1+4\lambda)=0$

$L_z=2z-2\lambda z+4\mu=0\implies z(1-\lambda)+2\mu=0$

$L_\lambda=4x^2+4y^2-z^2=0$

$L_\mu=2x+4z-2=0\implies x+2z=1$

Case 1: If $y=0$ , then

$4x^2-z^2=0\implies4x^2=z^2\implies2|x|=|z|$

Then

$x+2z=1\implies x=1-2z\implies2|1-2z|=|z|\implies z=\dfrac25\text{ or }z=\dfrac23$

$\implies x=\dfrac15\text{ or }x=-\dfrac13$

So we have two critical points, $\left(\dfrac15,0,\dfrac25\right)$ and $\left(-\dfrac13,0,\dfrac23\right)$

Case 2: If $\lambda=-\dfrac14$ , then in the first equation we get

$x(1+4\lambda)+\mu=\mu=0$

and from the third equation,

$z(1-\lambda)+2\mu=\dfrac54z=0\implies z=0$

Then

$x+2z=1\implies x=1$

$4x^2+4y^2-z^2=0\implies1+y^2=0$

but there are no real solutions for $y$ , so this case yields no additional critical points.

So at the two critical points we've found, we get extreme values of

$f\left(\dfrac15,0,\dfrac25\right)=\dfrac15$ (min)

and

$f\left(-\dfrac13,0,\dfrac23\right)=\dfrac59$ (max)
