What is the solution of x^2+x-6≤0?

Mathematics

mr_godi [17]3 years ago
8 0
1) Factor the polynomial

x^2 + x - 6 = (x + 3) (x - 2)

So, can solve (x + 3)(x - 2) ≤ 0

The condition for the product of two factors be zero or negative is that the both are zero or have different signs (one positive and the other negative)

a) when x + 3 ≤ 0 and x - 2 ≥ 0

x + 3 ≤ 0 => x ≤ - 3

x - 2 ≥ 0 => x ≥ 2

Given that it is imposible that x be less or equal tha - 3 and greaer or  equal than 2, this solution is empy.

b) when x + 3 ≥ 0 and x - 2 ≤ 0

x + 3 ≥ 0 => x ≥ - 3

x - 2 ≤ 0 => x ≤ 2

Solution: - 3 ≤ x ≤ 2 or [-3,2]

Prove that x=2 if 4^x=8x...where ^ stands for "to the power of".
Romashka [77]
In order to prove this, you simply plug in the number 2 everywhere you see X:

4^(2) = 8(2). 

Simplify

16 = 16 √

Since this checks out, x is proven to be 2.

Hello, I gotta turn it turn in this question today, help!!!!!!
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x² - 8x = -12

Step 1

We find x by solving

x² - 8x = -12

We equate to zero

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

We factorise

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0

x - 6 = 0, x = 6

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x = 6 or 2

Step 2

What is x - 4?

When x = 6

= 6 - 4 = 2

When x = 2

= 2 - 4 = -2

Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2
