First, let's deal with the fraction in the denominator of the exponent. Multiply the top and bottom of the exponent by 6.
Now that the fraction in the denominator is taken care of, we can reduce the denominator.
. Some professors might accept this as simplest form, but others might ask you to get rid of the negative.
From the graph ⇒ f(-4) = -8
⇒ f(x) = 2x
Answer:
√(p²-4q)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Quadratic Formula, we can say that
x = ( -p ± √(p²-4(1)(q))) / 2(1) with the 1 representing the coefficient of x². Simplifying, we get
x = ( -p ± √(p²-4q)) / 2
The roots of the function are therefore at
x = ( -p + √(p²-4q)) / 2 and x = ( -p - √(p²-4q)) / 2. The difference of the roots is thus
( -p + √(p²-4q)) / 2 - ( ( -p - √(p²-4q)) / 2)
= 0 + 2 √(p²-4q)/2
= √(p²-4q)
