Answer:x=19/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5=14

Add 5 to both sides

3x-5+5=14+5

3x=19

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3=19/3

X=19/3

Explain the steps to finding the vertex of g(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 15
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The vertex of this parabola, (-2, 3), can be found by completing the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to express this parabola in its vertex form:

g(x) = a\, (x - h)^2 + k,

where a, h, and k are constants. Once these three constants were found, it can be concluded that the vertex of this parabola is at (h,\, k).

The vertex form can be expanded to obtain:

\begin{aligned}g(x)&= a\, (x - h)^2 + k \\ &= a\, \left(x^2 - 2\, x\, h + h^2\right) + k = a\, x^2 - 2\, a\, h\, x + \left(a\,h^2 + k\right)\end{aligned}.

Compare that expression with the given equation of this parabola. The constant term, the coefficient for x, and the coefficient for x^2 should all match accordingly. That is:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& a = 3 \\ & -2\,a\, h = 12 \\& a\, h^2 + k = 15\end{aligned}\right..

The first equation implies that a is equal to 3. Hence, replace the "a\!" in the second equation with 3\! to eliminate \! a:

(-2\times 3)\, h = 12.

h = -2.

Similarly, replace the "a" and the "h" in the third equation with 3 and (-2), respectively:

3 \times (-2)^2 + k = 15.

k = 3.

Therefore, g(x) = 3\, x^2 + 12\, x + 15 would be equivalent to g(x) = 3\, (x - (-2))^2 + 3. The vertex of this parabola would thus be:

\begin{aligned}&(-2, \, 3)\\ &\phantom{(}\uparrow \phantom{,\,} \uparrow \phantom{)} \\ &\phantom{(}\; h \phantom{,\,} \;\;k\end{aligned}.

Find a such that the solution of y'' + y' − 2y = 0, y(0) = a, y' (0) = 1 tends to zero as t → +∞.
Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y'' + y' − 2y = 0, y(0) = a, y' (0) = 1

Auxialary equation is

m^2+m-2=0\\m=-2,1

General solution is

y=Ae^{-2x} +Be^x

y(0) = A+B =a

y'(0) = -2Ae^{2x} +Be^x = -2A+B = 1

Eliminate B to get

3A =a-1

We know that y tends to 0 when x tends to infinity for any finite A

i.e. a should be a finite real number.
