-7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set the equation equal to one and the x's to 2

Then, solve the parts without variables

4(2)+a(2)+6(2)-5=1

8+a(2)+6(2)-5=1

8+a(2)+12-5=1

Then add like terms

8+a(2)+7=1

15+a(2)=1

Then subtract 15 from both sides

a(2)=-14

Finally, divide by two on both sides

a=-7

Using the Completing the Square method, what are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 + 8x - 3?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) to rewrite the given equation:

f(x)=2(x²+4x)-3; ⇔ f(x)=2(x²+4x+4)-3-8; ⇔ f(x)=2(x²+4x+4)-11; ⇔ f(x)=2(x+2)²-11;

2) the roots are:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=-\sqrt{\frac{11}{2}}-2 \\x=\sqrt{\frac{11}{2}}-2 \end{array}$

3) finally, the correct answer is A.

Derivative Notation

Derivative of a constant is 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle y = \sqrt{x - 3}$

$\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y = (x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Chain Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{d}{dx}[(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}] \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[x - 3]$
Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} \cdot (1 \cdot x^{1 - 1} - 0)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 1$
Multiply: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$

Step 3: Solve

Find coordinates

x-coordinate

Substitute in y' [Derivative]: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 2 on both sides: $\displaystyle 1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply √(x - 3) on both sides: $\displaystyle \sqrt{x - 3} = 1$
[Equality Property] Square both sides: $\displaystyle x - 3 = 1$
[Addition Property of Equality] Add 3 on both sides: $\displaystyle x = 4$
