We need to factor
use u subsitution
u=x²
we get
u²-9u+20=0
factor
what  2 numbers multiply to get 20 and add to get -9
-4 and -5
(u-4)(u-5)=0
u=x²
(x²-4)(x²-5)=0
factor again
(x-2)(x+2)(x-√5)(x+√5)=0
set equal to zero
x-2=0
x=2
x+2=0
x=-2
x-√5=0
x=√5
x+√5=0
x=-√5


x=-2,-√5,√5,2

Answer:

x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The asymptote is a straight line that the curve gets closer and closer to but never touches it.

The given exponential function is f(x)=3^x.

The given graph has a horizontal asymptote,

The equation of this horizontal asymptote is y=0.

This is also refers to as the x-axis.

Therefore the asymptote is the x-axis.

Let f(x)=−3x. The graph of f(x) ​is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 u
Naily [24]
So the equation for these types of equations is f(x) = a(x-h)+k with h being a horizontal translation, a being a stretch/compression and k being a vertical translation. So here if you want a stretch of 4 a would be four, g(x)=4(-3x-h)+k. Also, there is a horizontal translation so it would be positive 4 into the equation. Since there is no change in the y-axis there is no vertical translation resulting in g(x) = 4(-3x-4)

u(x) = x5 – x4 + x2 and v(x) = –x2, which expression is equivalent to (StartFraction u Over v EndFraction) (x)?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bello,

\dfrac{u(x)}{v(x)}=\dfrac{x^5-x^4+x^2}{-x^2}=-x^3+x^2+1

thanks

in a AP the first term is 8,nth term is 33 and sum to first n terms is 123.Find n and common difference​
allsm [11]

I believe there is no such AP...

Recursively, this sequence is supposed to be given by

\begin{cases}a_1=8\\a_k=a_{k-1}+d&\text{for }k>1\end{cases}

so that

a_k=a_{k-1}+d=a_{k-2}+2d=\cdots=a_1+(k-1)d

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

33=8+(n-1)d

21=(n-1)d

n has to be an integer, which means there are 4 possible cases.

Case 1: n-1=1 and d=21. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^2(8+21(k-1))=37\neq123

Case 2: n-1=21 and d=1. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{22}(8+1(k-1))=407\neq123

Case 3: n-1=3 and d=7. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^4(8+7(k-1))=74\neq123

Case 4: n-1=7 and d=3. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^8(8+3(k-1))=148\neq123
