Solve for x in the equation x squared + 2 x + 1 = 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dominik [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Two solutions x=-5.12 and x=3.12

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+2x+1=17

Subtract 17

so x^2+2x-16

Then solve using the quadratic formula

so x=\frac{-2+or-\sqrt{2^2-4*1*(-16)}}{2*1}

solve x=\frac{-2+or-\sqrt{4+64} }{2}

Separate the equations into two x= equations of + or -

x=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{17} }{2}

and x= \frac{-2-2\sqrt{17} }{2}

x=-5.12

x=3.12

Problem 1

With limits, you are looking to see what happens when x gets closer to some value. For example, as x gets closer to x = 2 (from the left and right side), then y is getting closer and closer to y = 1/2. Therefore the limiting value is 1/2

Another example: as x gets closer to x = 4 from the right hand side, the y value gets closer to y = 4. This y value is different if you approach x = 0 from the left side (y would approach y = 1/2)

Use examples like this and you'll get the results you see in "figure 1"

For any function values, you'll look for actual points on the graph. A point does not exist if there is an open circle. There is an open circle at x = 2 for instance, so that's why f(2) = UND. On the other hand, f(0) is defined and it is equal to 4 as the point (0,4) is on the function curve.

=======================================================

Problem 2

This is basically an extension of problem 1. The same idea applies. See "figure 2" (in the attached images) for the answers.

What is the distance between point A and point B?what is the ordered pair for each of the points plotted above?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

A: (0,0), B: (3, -4), 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A: (0,0), B: (3, -4)

To find the distance, use the distance formula. Square-root((0-3)^2+(0-(-4))^2) ---> Square-root((-3)^2 + 4^2) ---> Square-root(9+16) ---> Square-root(25) ---> 5units.
