4x²-17x-42
=4(x²-17/4x)-42
=4[x²-17/4  x+(-17/8)²-(-17/8)²]-42
=4(x-17/8)²-289/64-42
=4(x-17/8)²-(289+2688)/64
=4(x-17/8)²-2974/64
=[(2x-34/8)²-(√2974/8)²]
=(2x-34/8  +(√2974/8))(2x-34/8-(√2974/8)
=[2x+(√2974-34)/8][2x-(√2974+34)/8]

Find an equation of the line containing the points (-5,7) and (-5,8). Express your answer in slope intercept form.
alexdok [17]
Try, pls, this:
1. Note, that for the both points x₁=x₂=-5, it means line is vertical, that is equation form is x=a, where a=number.
2. The number for 'a' may be extracted from points, a=-5.
3. Equation for line is x=-5.

A woman wants to build a rectangular garden. She plans to use a side of a shed for one side of the garden. She has 84 yd of fenc
Ivan
Let x denote the length of the side of the garden which is covered fenced by a shed, and \frac{A}{x} be the width of the garden.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2(length + width)
i.e. 2x + \frac{A}{x} = 84
which gives:
A = 84x - 2x^2

For the area to be maximum, the differentiation of A with respect to x must be equal to 0.
i.e. \frac{dA}{dx} =84-4x=0 \\ 4x=84 \\ x=21

Therefore, the maximum area of the garden enclosed is given by
84(21)-2(21)^2=1764-2(441)=1764-882=882 \, yd^2

Evaluate the following expression (-3)^-2
OleMash [197]
<h3>Answer: the fraction 1/9</h3>

It is approximately equal to 0.1111

=================================

To get this answer, we use the rule

x^{-k} = \frac{1}{x^k}

The negative exponent tells us to apply the reciprocal to get the exponent to be positive.

So,

(-3)^{-2} = \frac{1}{(-3)^2}\\\\(-3)^{-2} = \frac{1}{9}

Squaring -3 means you square the negative as well

(-3)^2 = (-3)*(-3) = 9

The easiest way is to graph it based upon the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), in the standard slope-intercept form: y = m (x) + b.
The line above intercepts the y-axis at y = -2, which is b. The slope (m) = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1 ); so for the point (-4, 2) to (-6, 4) is:
(4-2)/(-6--4) = 2/(-6+4) = 2/-2 = -1.
So one form of the equation would be:
y = -1x - 2
Now the other form of an equation is point-slope: y-k = m (x-h), where the point is at (h, k)
and if we pick -5 for x (bc 5 it listed in 3 of the answers), the y at x=-5 looks like around +3
so we get: y-k = -1 (x--5)...
y-3 = -(x+5)... therefore D) is the correct answer:
