As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.
y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5 should be written <span>y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5. The
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.
I see you're apparently in middle school. Is that so? If so, are you taking calculus already? If so, nice!
Case 1: You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values. Sketch the function </span>y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5). Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?
Case 2: You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test. Differentiate y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:
dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0. Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:
dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0 I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3. Try it yourself. This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1. Again, you should check this.
Now we have 2 roots: -1 and 2/3
Draw a number line. Locate the origin (0,0). Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0). This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:
(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).
Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above. If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.

Answer:
5² x 7 x 2
Step-by-step explanation:
350
= 35 x 10
= 7 x 5 x 5 x 2
= 5² x 7 x 2
Answer:
There kind of needs to be more information. We don't have any other information other than the backstory. You're gonna need to elaborate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-1/3, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x + 8y = 3
6x - 12y = -11
Let's solve the system by eliminating x. We need the coefficients of x to be additive inverses, so they will add to zero eliminating x. The LCM of 9 and 6 is 18. Let's multiply both sides of the first by 2 and both sides of the second equation by -3.
18x + 16y = 6
-18x + 36y = 33
The coefficients of x are 18 and -18, which add to zero. Now we add these two equations.
52y = 39
y = 39/52
y = 3/4
Now we substitute y with 3/4 in the first equation and solve for x.
9x + 8y = 3
9x + 8(3/4) = 3
9x + 6 = 3
9x = -3
x = -3/9
x = -1/3
Solution: (-1/3, 3/4)
Given:
In an isosceles triangle LMN, LM=MN.
To find:
The measure of the angles L, M and N.
Solution:
In triangle LMN,
(Given)
(Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)
Now,
On further simplification, we get
The value of x is 13. Using this value, we get
Similarly,
And,
Therefore, the measure of angles are 
.
