16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8

We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0

The steps for completing the square:

1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:

8n^2 -10n = -137

2) Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = -17.125 

3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36


n^2 -1.2n +.36 = -17.125 +.36

Take the square root of both sides:
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root( -16.765 )
That's about as far as I can go.

The two curves $y=x$ and $y=x^{1/15}$ intersect at $x=0$ and $x=1$ , with $x^{1/15}\ge x$ over $0\le x\le1$ .

Washer method

$\displaystyle\pi\int_0^1\left(\left(x^{1/15}\right)^2-x^2\right)\,\mathrm dx=\pi\int_0^1\left(x^{2/15}-x^2\right)\,\mathrm dx=\pi\left(\frac{15}{17}-\frac13\right)=\boxed{\frac{28\pi}{51}}$

Shell method

We have $y=x^{1/15}\implies x=y^{15}$ . The curves $x=y$ and $x=y^{15}$ intersect at $y=0$ and $y=1$ , with $y\ge y^{15}$ over $0\le y\le1$ .

$\displaystyle2\pi\int_0^1y\left(y-y^{15}\right)\,\mathrm dy=2\pi\int_0^1\left(y^2-y^{16}\right)\,\mathrm dy=2\pi\left(\frac13-\frac1{17}\right)=\boxed{\frac{28\pi}{51}}$

20 POINTS PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Answer:

p = -1

x=10

m < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

4(3p + 6 ) = 12

Distribute the 4

12p +24 = 12

Subtract 24 from each side

12p+24-24 = 12-24

12p = -12

Divide by 12

12p/12 = -12/12

p = -1

-5(x -4) = -30

Distribute the -5

-5x+20 = -30

Subtract 20 from each side

-5x+20-20 = -30-20

-5x=-50

Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = -50/-5

x=10

-3m + 15 > -6

Subtract 15 from each side

-3m + 15-15 > -6-15

-3m >-21

Divide by -3 remember to flip the inequality

-3m/-3 < -21/-3

m < 7

hodyreva [135]

Similarities: They both are polynomials of degree 2, both of their graphs is a parabola, both have either 2 or 0 real solutions, they are both continuous functions over R
(DOS= difference of two squares, PST=perfect square trinomial
Differences: PST has three terms, whereas the difference of squares has 2. PST's factors are both the same, whereas DOS's elements are conjugates of each other. DOS can always be factored into two distinct polynomials with rational coefficients, whereas PST has two same polynomial factors.
