Factor the trinomial x^2 - 2x - 8

1 answer:

7 0

Well what two numbers multiply to get -8 and add to get -2?
Well, to get -8, we either have (-1,8),(-2,4),(-4,2),(-8,1)
8-1=7
-2+4=2
2-4=-2
1-8=-7
Thus it should be (-4,2),
This means we should get (X-4)(X+2)

never [62]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students of Deerlake middle school that voted = 442

Percentage of student that voted = 76%

Let x be the total number of student.

According to the Question,

$\frac{76}{100}\times x=442$

$x=442\times\frac{100}{76}$

$x=582$

Therefore, Option C is correct.

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given interval. If there are multiple points in a

Bond [772]

$f(x)=3\sin x+3\cos x\implies f'(x)=3\cos x-3\sin x$

$f$ has critical points where $f'=0$ :

$3\cos x-3\sin x=0\implies\cos x=\sin x\implies\tan x=1\implies x=\pm\dfrac\pi4+2n\pi$

where $n$ is any integer. We get solutions in the interval $\left[0,\frac\pi3\right]$ for $n=0$ , for which $x=\frac\pi4$ .

At this critical point, we have $f\left(\frac\pi4\right)=3\sqrt2\approx4.243$ .

At the endpoints of the given interval, we have $f(0)=3$ and $f\left(\frac\pi3\right)=\frac{3+3\sqrt3}2\approx4.098$ .

So we have the extreme values

$\max\limits_{x\in\left[0,\frac\pi3\right]}f=3\sqrt2$

$\min\limits_{x\in\left[0,\frac\pi3\right]}f=3$
