Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a quadratic inequality, first solve it normally like you would for a normal quadratic equation. We have:

9x^2-15x

Ignore the less than sign and replace it with an equal sign and solve the quadratic for its zeros:

9x^2-15x=6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

9x^2-15x-6=0

Divide everything by 3:

3x^2-5x-2=0

Factor. Find two numbers that equal (3)(-2)=-6 that add up to -5.

-6 and 1 works. Thus:

3x^2-6x+x-2=0\\3x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0\\(3x+1)(x-2)=0

Find the x using the Zero Product Property:

3x+1=0 \text{ or }x-2=0\\x=-1/3\text{ or }x=2

Now, we need to replace the equal signs with symbols again. To do so, we need to test which symbol to place. Let's do the first zero first.

So, the first zero is:

x=-1/3

Assume that the correct symbol is >. Thus,

x>-1/3

Now, pick any number that is greater than -1/3. I'll pick 0 since it's the easiest. Now, plug 0 back into the very original inequality. If it works, then the sign is correct, if it doesn't, then simply use the opposite one. Therefore:

9x^2-15x

0 is indeed less than six, so our first correct solution is:

x>-1/3

For the second one, do the same thing. We have:

x=2

Assume that the correct symbol is <. Thus:

x

Again, pick any number less than 2. I'm going to use 0. Plug 0 back into the original equation

9x^2-15x

Again, this is correct. Therefore, x<2 is also the correct inequality.

So together, we have:

x>-1/3 \text{ and } x

Together, we can write them as:

-1/3

(Note that we don't need to worry about the "or equal to" part since the original inequality didn't have it.)

Write a quadratic equations given the roots 5/2 and 9
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(x-5/2)(x-9).

x^2-5/2x-5/2x+45/2.

Multiply the number by 2.

which is 2(x^2-5/2x-5/2x+45/2).

2x^2-5x-5x+45.

2x^2-10x+45.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It has an x-intercept at (negative 5, 0), a vertex at (negative 1, 16), a y-interc
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is all the x's and range is all the y's. There's no reason why you couldn't pop any x into the given equation and calculate it and get a number out. So literally ANY x can be used and found on this graph. So the domain is all real numbers, one of the first two answers is going to be the right one. Now, the range is all the y's on the graph. The problem says that the parabola opens down, which means it has a highest point. There is no graph above that point. That's the point (-1, 16). So 16 is the highest y-value you can find on the graph. All the rest of the y's are smaller. The range is all the y's such that the y's are 16 and smaller...in math that's written {y | y <= 16} So the second answer is the right one.
