Answer:

(x-3)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if we start with x^2+-x-6, we need a set of numbers that equal -x when added, and -6 when multiplied. So, -3 and 2 work, so we take them and plug them into this (x-3)(x+2)

hope this helps. i can explain more if you need it.

Correct Answer: - 550

We can use the distributive property to distribute the summation to the variables and then get the constant out to apply the summation formulas as shown below in the attached image.

The equation editor does not have a summation symbol, so I have attached the solution using the image.

The correct answer to this question is -550. First option is the correct one.

Given the position of the particle, what the position(s) of the particle when it’s at rest

choli [55]

The position function of a particle is given by:

$X\mleft(t\mright)=\frac{2}{3}t^3-\frac{9}{2}t^2-18t$

The velocity function is the derivative of the position:

$\begin{gathered} V(t)=\frac{2}{3}(3t^2)-\frac{9}{2}(2t)-18 \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ V(t)=2t^2-9t-18 \end{gathered}$

The particle will be at rest when the velocity is 0, thus we solve the equation:

$2t^2-9t-18=0$

The coefficients of this equation are: a = 2, b = -9, c = -18

Solve by using the formula:

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

Substituting:

$\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81-4(2)(-18)}}{2(2)} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81+144}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{225}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm15}{4} \end{gathered}$

We have two possible answers:
