<span>Inflection points are where the function changes concavity. Since concave up corresponds to a positive second derivative and concave down corresponds to a negative second derivative, then when the function changes from concave up to concave down (or vise versa) the second derivative must equal zero at that point. So the second derivative must equal zero to be an inflection point. But don't get excited yet. You have to make sure that the concavity actually changes at that point.</span>

Trapezoidal is involving averageing the heights
the 4 intervals are
[0,4] and [4,7.2] and [7.2,8.6] and [8.6,9]

the area of each trapezoid is (v(t1)+v(t2))/2 times width

for the first interval
the average between 0 and 0.4 is 0.2
the width is 4
4(0.2)=0.8

2nd
average between 0.4 and 1 is 0.7
width is 3.2
3.2 times 0.7=2.24

3rd
average betwen 1.0 and 1.5 is 1.25
width is 1.4
1.4 times 1.25=1.75

4th
average betwen 1.5 and 2 is 1.75
width is 0.4
0.4 times 1.74=0.7

add them all up
0.8+2.24+1.75+0.7=5.49

5.49
t=time
v(t)=speed
so the area under the curve is distance
covered 5.49 meters

Find all complex solutions of 5x^2+5x+3=0.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² + 5x + 3 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 5 , b = 5 , c = 3

Solve using the quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

  = \frac{-5+/-\sqrt{5^2-(4(5)(3)} }{2(5)}

  = \frac{-5+/-\sqrt{25-60} }{10}

  = \frac{-5+/-\sqrt{-35} }{10}

  = \frac{-5+/-\sqrt{-1(35)} }{10}

 = \frac{-5+/-i\sqrt{35} }{10}

Then

x = \frac{-5}{10} ± \frac{1}{10} i\sqrt{35} , that is

x = - \frac{1}{2} - \sqrt{x} \frac{1}{10} i\sqrt{35} , - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{10} i\sqrt{35}

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}&#10;solutions&graphs&slopes\\&#10;----&----&----\\&#10;\textit{exactly one}&&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{the two lines intersect}\\&#10;\textit{at one point}&#10;\end{array}&\textit{different slopes}\\\\&#10;infinitely\quad many&&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{the two lines coincide}\\&#10;\textit{one is right on top}\\&#10;\textit{ of the other}&#10;\end{array}&&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{equal slopes}\\&#10;\textit{equal y-intercepts}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\end{array}

\bf \textit{no solution}\qquad\quad &\textit{lines are parallel} \qquad &&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{equal slopes}\\&#10;\textit{different y-intercepts}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\end{array}

for example, let's look at the first set

y+3x =5   or  y = -3x+ 5
and               y = -3x + 2
                    y =  m  + b

the slopes are equal, the y-intercepts differ
that means, they're just parallel lines, no solution
