Minus 16x both sides and add 28 to both sides
x^2-16x+28=0
factor
hmm, what 2 numbers multiply to 28 and add to -16
hmm
1 and 28? nope
2 and 14? yep
since middle term is negative and last tem is positive, both of the factors are negative
(x-14)(x-2)=0
set each to zero
x-14=0
x=14
x-2=0
x=2
x=2 and 14
Zeroes:
We must solve
To do so, we define the auxiliary variable . The equation becomes
The quadratic formula yields the solutions
Substituting back gives
So, the zeroes are -6, -3, 3, 6.
Turning points:
Turning points are points where a function stops being increasing to become decreasing, or vice versa. Since functions are increasing when their first derivative is positive and decreasing when it's negative, turning points are points where the first derivative is zero.
We have
If we set the derivative to be zero, we have
So, the derivative is zero if x=0 or
There are 17 people. 3 Times 5 = 15 + 2 = 17
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We have similar triangles here.</u>
- BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC
<u>The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:</u>
- BC/DE = AC/AE
- BC / 2 = 30/3
- BC / 2 = 10
- BC = 2*10
- BC = 20 m
