Answer:

$\boxed{\sf (f - g)(x) = 2x - 3}$

Given:

f(x) = 3x - 1

g(x) = x + 2

To Find:

(f - g)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf (f -g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =(3x - 1) - (x + 2) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =3x - 1 - x - 2 \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =3x - x - 1 - 2 \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =(3x - x) - (1 + 2) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =2x - (1 + 2) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =2x - 3$

Solving Quadratic Equations with Complex SolutionsThe discriminant: D=b^2-4acQuestion:5x^2-2x+1=0

fomenos

• The value of the discriminant ,D= -16

• The solution to the quadratic equation is

$x=\frac{1+2i}{5}\text{ or }\frac{1-2i}{5}$

Step - by - Step Explanation

What to find?

• The discriminant d= b² - 4ac

• The solution to the quadratic equation.

Given:

5x² - 2x + 1=0

Comparing the given equation with the general form of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c=0

a=5 b=-2 and c=1

Uisng the quadratic formula to solve;

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

The discriminant D=b² - 4ac

Substitute the values into the discriminant formula and simplify.

D = (-2)² - 4(5)(1)

D = 4 - 20

D = -16

We can now proceed to find the solution of the quadratic equation by substituting into the quadratic formula;

$x=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt[]{-16}}{2(5)}$

Note that:

√-1 = i

$x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16\times-1}}{10}$

$x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16}\times\sqrt[]{-1}}{10}$ $x=\frac{2\pm4i}{10}$ $x=\frac{2}{10}\pm\frac{4i}{10}$ $x=\frac{1}{5}\pm\frac{2}{5}i$ $x=\frac{1\pm2i}{5}$

That is;

$\text{Either x=}\frac{1+2i}{5}\text{ or x=}\frac{1-2i}{5}$

Please help work this out

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Area=190.091 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2(Pi x r^2) one-half because it's a semi-circle

Area=1/2(3.14 x 11^2)

11^2=121 so, Area=1/2(3.14 x 121)

Area=1/2(379.94)

Area=189.97 cm^2

adjustment:

Area=1/2(3.142 x 11^2)

Area=1/2(3.142 x 121)

Area=1/2(380.182)

Area=190.091
