To do this we need to rewrite the equation in terms of y
4y=12-3x
y=3-3x/4
Therefore the gradient is -3/4

Solve x2 = 12x - 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(6-√21, 6+√21)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 12x = -15

(x - 6)^2 - 36 = -15

(x - 6)^2 = 21

x - 6 = ± √21

x = 6 ± √21

Determine the equation of the polynomial, p(x),in both factored and standard form.

melamori03 [73]

We can see that the graph touches $x=-1$ without crossing the x-axis (i.e. it is a double solution), and then there's another zero at $x=2$ (this time it's a crossing zero, so a single solution).

This leads, up to multiple, to the polynomial

$p(x)=a(x+1)^2(x-2)$

If we impose the passing through $(0,4)$ we have

$p(0)=4=a(1)(-2) \iff -2a=4 \iff a=-2$

So, the polynomial is

$p(x)=-2(x+1)^2(x-2)=-2 x^3 + 6 x + 4$

Finally, to solve $p(x)$ , simply look at the graph, searching for the points, where the graph is below the x-axis. You can see that this happens only if $x>2$ , so that's the solution to your question.
