Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

2x^2+3x-8 = 0

To find the roots of the equation. We will apply the general formula for quadratic equations

x = -b ± √b^2 - 4ac]/2a

from the equation,

a = 2

b = 3

c = -8

It becomes

x = [- 3 ± √3^2 - 4(2 × -8)]/2×2

x = - 3 ± √9 - 4(- 16)]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √9 + 64]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √73]/4

x = [- 3 ± 8.544]/4

x = (-3 + 8.544) /4 or x = (-3 - 8.544) / 4

x = 5.544/4 or - 11.544/4

x = 1.386 or x = - 2.886

The positive solution is 1.39 rounded up to the nearest hundredth

Differentiate x^2 e^x logx

zimovet [89]

Product rule:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}(x^2e^x\log x)$

$=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}e^x\log x+x^2\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}\log x+x^2e^x\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}$

Power rule:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

The exponential function is its own derivative:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}=e^x$

Assuming the base of $\log x$ is $e$ , its derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x$

But if you mean a logarithm of arbitrary base $b$ , we have

$y=\log_bx\implies x=b^y=e^{y\ln b}\implies1=e^{y\ln b}\ln b\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{e^{-y\ln b}}{\ln b}=\dfrac1{b^y\ln b}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log_bx)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{x\ln b}$

So we end up with

$2xe^x\log x+x^2e^x\log x+\dfrac{x^2e^x}x$

$=xe^x(2\log x+x\log x+1)$

What percentage increase is this?<br> 400 to 500

jonny [76]

The answer is 25%

Percent change = [(500 - 400) / |400|] x 100 = [(100) / 400] x 100 = 25 %

hope it helps
