G/f(x) = x^2 - 6 / 3x + 1
3x + 1 = x^2 - 6
x^2 - 3x - 6 - 1 = 0
x^2 - 3x - 7 = 0
x = 4.54 , x = - 1.54
i am a mathematics teacher. if anything to ask please pm me
So focusing on x^4 + 5x^2 - 36, we will be completing the square. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -36x^4 and a sum of 5x^2? That would be 9x^2 and -4x^2. Replace 5x^2 with 9x^2 - 4x^2: 
Next, factor x^4 + 9x^2 and -4x^2 - 36 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses: 
Now you can rewrite this as 
, however this is not completely factored. With (x^2 - 4), we are using the difference of squares, which is 
. Applying that here, we have 
. x^4 + 5x^2 - 36 is completely factored.
Next, focusing now on 2x^2 + 9x - 5, we will also be completing the square. What two terms have a product of -10x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be 10x and -x. Replace 9x with 10x - x: 
Next, factor 2x^2 + 10x and -x - 5 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as 
. 2x^2 + 9x - 5 is completely factored.
<h3><u>Putting it all together, your factored expression is

Answer: V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have a rectangular cardboard sheet, and we cut four squares of side length x in each corner so we can make a box.
Remember that for a box of length L, width W and height H, the volume is:
V = L*W*H
In this case, the length initially is 12 inches, but we remove (from each end) x inches of the length, then the length of the box will be:
L = 12 in - 2*x
For the width we have a similar case:
W = 8in - 2*x
And te height of the box will be equal to x, then:
H = x
This means that the volume is:
V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Here we can see the connection between the cutout and the volume of the box
Answer:
[see below]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in the form:
y = kx
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
Since 1/4 is in k's spot, the constant of proportionality should be '1/4'.
Hope this helps.
