Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
This involves the Secant and Segments Theorem.
8(19 + 8) = 9(9 + x)
216 = 81 + 9x
9x = 135
x = 15
Do you mean ^2? cause if so... B don't really need crit points to solve, the parabola has a positive slope before x =2
Answer:
4 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Half the x-coefficient is -3, so the equation needs to be rearranged into a form that looks like
x² -6x +(-3)² + [something]
You can get there by adding and subtracting 9 from the original equation.
y = x² -6x +9 +7 -9 . . . . . 9 added and subtracted
y = (x² -6x +9) -2
The quantity in parentheses is a perfect square, so we can write the equation in the desired form as ...
y = (x -3)² -2
