Answer:

  x ∈ {-2, 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the solutions to ...

  f'(x) = 2

Taking the derivative, you get ...

  f'(x) = 3x^2 -12x -34 = 2

Subtract 2 and factor:

  3x^2 -12x -36 = 0 = 3(x^2 -4x -12) = 3(x -6)(x +2)

The values of x that satisfy this equation are the values of x that make the factors be zero: x = 6, x = -2.

The slope of a tangent to the curve will be 2 at x=-2 and at x=6.

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable. t^2-4t-32/t-8
Leno4ka [110]

1. Factor the expression t^2-4t-32:

t^2-4t-32=(t-8)(t+4).

2. Since t-8 is placed in the denominator of the given expression, then t\neq 8.

3. Now the expression can be simplified:

\dfrac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8}=\dfrac{(t-8)(t+4)}{t-8}=t+4.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(- 2x - 3) - (3x² - 8x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis

= - 2x - 3 - 3x² + 8x - 9 ← collect like terms

= - 3x² + 6x - 12 → C

HELP PLEASE ASAP!!!

A. It's a composite function, so basically, wherever you see a p, replace it with 5t, because we are given that information. So, your answer is:
A[p(t)] = 5t \pi 2=10t \pi

B. Let's use the function we created, and just plug in 2 for t:
A[p(2)]  = 10(2) \pi
A[p(2)] = 62.83

So, your answer is (approximately) 62.83 units².
