Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): -2x^2 + 5x - 10 = 3

1 answer:

3 0

Subtract 3 from both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x - 13 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                                      x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                                      x = [ -5 ± √((5)^2 - 4(-2)(-13)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(25 - (104) ) ] / ( -4 )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(-79) ] / ( -4)
Since √-79 is nonreal, the answer to this question is that there are no real solutions.

4. Simplify the expression.
sine of x to the second power minus one divided by cosine of negative x

(1−sin2(x))/(sin(x)−csc(x))

sin2x+cos2x=1 1−sin2x=cos2x

cos2(x)/(sin(x)−csc(x)) csc(x)=1/sin(x) cos2(x)/(sin(x)− 1/sin(x))= cos2(x)/((sin2(x)− 1)/sin(x)) sin2(x)− 1=-cos2(x) cos2(x)/(( -cos2(x))/sin(x))
=-sin(x)
the answer is the letter a) -sin x

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and $\varepsilon>0$ , we want to find a $\delta$ such that $|f(x)-14|$

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that $|x-5|$ . Then

$|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta$ .

Then, if $|x-5|$ , then $|f(x)-14|$ . So, in this case, if $3\delta \leq \varepsilon$ we get that $|f(x)-14|$ . The maximum value of delta is $\frac{\varepsilon}{3}$ .
