Answer:

<h2>x = -2 or x = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula of a quadratic equation

ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{If}\ b^2-4ac>0\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\text{If}\ b^2-4ac=0\ \text{then the equation has one solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}

\text{If}\ b^2-4ac

We have:

x^2-3x-10=0\to a=1,\ b=-3,\ c=-10\\\\b^2-4ac=(-3)^2-4(1)(-10)=9+40=49>0\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{49}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{3\pm7}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{3-7}{2}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2\\or\\x=\dfrac{3+7}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5

Find a and b so that f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b will have a critical point at (2,3).
Digiron [165]

Using the critical point concept, it is found that a = -3 and b = 7.

<h3>What are the critical points of a function?</h3>
  • The critical points of a function are the values of x for which:

f^{\prime}(x) = 0

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b

Hence, the derivative is:

f^{\prime}(x) = 3x^2 + 2ax

Then:

f^{\prime}(x) = 0

3x^2 + 2ax = 0

x(3x + 2a) = 0

x = 0

3x + 2a = 0

3x = -2a

x = -\frac{2a}{3}

Since the critical point is at x = 2, we have that:

-\frac{2a}{3} = 2

-2a = 6

2a = -6

a = -3

Then:

f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + b

Critical point at (2,3) means that when x = 2, y = 3, then:

3 = 2^3 - 3(2)^2 + b

8 - 12 + b = 3

b = 7

Can someone explain to me this derivative : y=3x√x
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

(9/2)√x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the radical to an exponent.

x√x = x^1 * x^1/2

= x^(1 + 1/2)

= x^3/2

So the derivative of 3x^3/2 is found as follows:

y' = 3 * 3/2x^(3/2 - 1)

= (9/2)x^1/2

= (9/2)√x.
