Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

3 x^2 + x - 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

x^2 + x/3 - 2/3 = 0

Add 2/3 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 = 2/3

Add 1/36 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 + 1/36 = 25/36

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 1/6)^2 = 25/36

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 1/6 = 5/6 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

x = 2/3 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

Answer: x = 2/3 or x = -1

Which is the graph of LaTeX: y=x^2-4x+4y = x 2 − 4 x + 4?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we will be "completing the square" we will isolate the x2 and x terms ... so move the + 5 to the other side of the equal sign. y - 5 = 2x2 - 4x. We need a leading coefficient of 1 for completing the square ..

Please help me with the below question.

tresset_1 [31]

We have the following three conclusions about the <em>piecewise</em> function evaluated at x = 14.75:

$\lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) = 66$ .
$\lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t) = 10$ .
$\lim_{t \to 14.75} f(t)$ does not exist as $\lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) \ne \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t)$ .

<h3>How to determinate the limit in a piecewise function</h3>

In a <em>piecewise</em> function, the limit for a given value exists when the two <em>lateral</em> limits are the same and, thus, continuity is guaranteed. Otherwise, the limit does not exist.

According to the definition of <em>lateral</em> limit and by observing carefully the figure, we have the following conclusions:

$\lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) = 66$ .
$\lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t) = 10$ .
$\lim_{t \to 14.75} f(t)$ does not exist as $\lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) \ne \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t)$ .
