Factorise 2x^2 - 3x -2 < 0

Galina-37 [17]

Step 1: Factor $2 x^{2} - 3x -2$
1. Multiply 2 by -2, which is -4.
2. Ask: Which two numbers add up to -3 and multiply to -4?
3. Answer: 1 and -4
4. Rewrite $-3x$ as the sum of $x$ and $-4x$

$2 x^{2} +x-4x-2\ \textless \ 0$

Step 2: Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

 $x(2x+1)-2(2x+1)\ \textless \ 0$

Step 3: Factor out the common term $2x+1$

$(2x+1)(x-2)\ \textless \ 0$

Step 4: Solve for $x$

1. Ask: When will $(2x+1)(x-2)$ equal zero?
2. Answer: When $2x + 1 = 0$ or $x-2=0$
3. Solve each of the 2 equations above:

 $x=- \frac{1}{2} ,2$

Step 5: From the values of $x$ above, we have these 3 intervals to test.
x = < -1/2
-1/2 < x < 2
x > 2

Step 6: Pick a test point for each interval

For the interval $x\ \textless \ - \frac{1}{2} 
$
Lets pick $x=-1.$ Then, $2(-1) ^{2} -3 * -1 -2 \ \textless \ 0$
After simplifying, we get $3\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false.
Drop this interval.

For this interval $- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$
Lets pick $x=0$ . Then, $2* 0^{2} - 3 * 0-2\ \textless \ 0$ . After simplifying, we get $-2\ \textless \ 0,$ which is true. Keep this interval.

For the interval $x\ \textgreater \ 2$

Lets pick $x = 3.$ Then, $2 * 3 ^{2} -3*3-2\ \textless \ 0.$ After simplifying, we get $7\ \textless \ 0$ , Which is false. Drop this interval.

.Step 7: Therefore,
$- \frac{1}{2} \ \textless \ x\ \textless \ 2$

Done! :)

Study the Proof: Give the reasons for the missing reason. List the number and then state the reason.

joja [24]

1) Given
2) Adding segments AB and BC together gives AC (Addition postulate, not too sure about the terminology)
3) Segment Addition postulate
4) Segment Addition postulate(Knowing that AC=BD, the distance between BC and CD add up to BD, shown in #3. AB and BC add together to give AC)
5) Subtraction property of Equality

Hope I helped :)

Which choices are equivalent to the fraction below? Check all that apply. 20/24

laiz [17]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

20 divide by 2 is 10

24 divide by 2 is 12

then have 10/12

10 divide by 2 is 5

12 divide by 2 is 6

answer is 5/6

Sin^2x + sin^2x + cos²x

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Answer:

A. 2 sinx cosx - 1 + 2 sin^2 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin2x = 2 sinx cosx

cos2x = cos^2x - sin^2x

So sin2x - cos2x = 2 sinx cosx - ( cos^2x - sin^2x)

But cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2 x, so we have:

2 sinx cosx - (1 - sin^2 x - sin^2x)

= 2 sinx cosx - 1 + 2 sin^2 x.
