Answer:

First of all, it is better to note that x2 is not equal to x² .In mathematics x2 is equal to 2nd x or 2x i.e. 2 times x=2*x=x*2.

I don't know what this question means ! But if it means to just confine x2 and -6x in a square or to make them part of a square then it could be done as follows.

Assume x2 as x² as per your needs as case may be.

Now use the identity

(a² - 2a×b + b²) =(a - b )²

Here , in LHS

a appears twice as in a² and in 2a×b.

So for given expression (x2 – 6x = 5) or (x² – 6x = 5) or (x² - 6x -5 =0)

Assume x=a

Then,

6x =2*x*3 =2*a*b

=> 3 = b

Thus

(x² - 6x -5 =0)

=> x² - 2*x*3 + 3² -3² -5 =0

=> ( x² - 2*x*3 + 3² ) - 3² -5 =0

=> (x - 3)² - 3² = 5

=> (x - 3)² = 5 + 3²

=> (x - 3)² = 5 + 9 = 14 = ( ±√(14) )²

Now comparing

(x² – 6x = 5) and (x - 3)² = 5 + 9,

it can be said that number 9 should be added to both sides of (x² – 6x = 5) or (x² – 6x) = ( 5 ) to make ( x² ) and (-6x ) as the constituting parts of the square (x-3)² .

I hope it helps.

Thank you for patiently reading it.

Whats the answer????

Citrus2011 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope (and always the factor of x). it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

b is the y-intercept, the y value of the point, where the line crosses the y-axis (in other words : the y value when x = 0).

so, look at the chart. where do we see points with integer coordinates (these are the easiest to read correctly and work with) ?

I see for example (0, -6) and (4, -7).

to go from the first to the second point :

x changes by +4 units (from 0 to 4).

y changes by -1 unit (from -6 to -7).

the slope a is therefore -1/4.

and the first point i picked gives us also automatically the y-intercept (-6).

so, the line equation is

y = (-1/4)x - 6

Find all the solutions for the equation:

Contact [7]

$2y^2\,\mathrm dx-(x+y)^2\,\mathrm dy=0$

Divide both sides by $x^2\,\mathrm dx$ to get

$2\left(\dfrac yx\right)^2-\left(1+\dfrac yx\right)^2\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2\left(\frac yx\right)^2}{\left(1+\frac yx\right)^2}$

Substitute $v(x)=\dfrac{y(x)}x$ , so that $\dfrac{\mathrm dv(x)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{x\frac{\mathrm dy(x)}{\mathrm dx}-y(x)}{x^2}$ . Then

$x\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}+v=\dfrac{2v^2}{(1+v)^2}$

$x\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2v^2-v(1+v)^2}{(1+v)^2}$

$x\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac{v(1+v^2)}{(1+v)^2}$

The remaining ODE is separable. Separating the variables gives

$\dfrac{(1+v)^2}{v(1+v^2)}\,\mathrm dv=-\dfrac{\mathrm dx}x$

Integrate both sides. On the left, split up the integrand into partial fractions.

$\dfrac{(1+v)^2}{v(1+v^2)}=\dfrac{v^2+2v+1}{v(v^2+1)}=\dfrac av+\dfrac{bv+c}{v^2+1}$

$\implies v^2+2v+1=a(v^2+1)+(bv+c)v$

$\implies v^2+2v+1=(a+b)v^2+cv+a$

$\implies a=1,b=0,c=2$

Then

$\displaystyle\int\frac{(1+v)^2}{v(1+v^2)}\,\mathrm dv=\int\left(\frac1v+\frac2{v^2+1}\right)\,\mathrm dv=\ln|v|+2\tan^{-1}v$

On the right, we have

$\displaystyle-\int\frac{\mathrm dx}x=-\ln|x|+C$

Solving for $v(x)$ explicitly is unlikely to succeed, so we leave the solution in implicit form,

$\ln|v(x)|+2\tan^{-1}v(x)=-\ln|x|+C$

and finally solve in terms of $y(x)$ by replacing $v(x)=\dfrac{y(x)}x$ :

$\ln\left|\frac{y(x)}x\right|+2\tan^{-1}\dfrac{y(x)}x=-\ln|x|+C$

$\ln|y(x)|-\ln|x|+2\tan^{-1}\dfrac{y(x)}x=-\ln|x|+C$

$\boxed{\ln|y(x)|+2\tan^{-1}\dfrac{y(x)}x=C}$

If h(x) = (f o g)(x) and h(x) = ∛7x+1, find f(x) and g(x)

Mariana [72]

There's more than one way to combine them really
but an obvious one will be

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
h(x)&=&(f\circ g)(x)\\\\
&&\sqrt[3]{7x+1}\\\\
&&\sqrt[3]{g(x)}\leftarrow 
\begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x }\\\\
g(x)=7x+1
\end{array}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
(f\circ g)(x)\iff f[\quad g(x)\quad ]=\sqrt[3]{g(x)}\implies f[\quad g(x)\quad ]=\sqrt[3]{7x+1}$
