Answer:

a) -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Zero of a function is the x-value where y = 0

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

x² + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x(x + 3) - (x + 3) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

x = 1, -3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, if we plug in any of the given choices into the function and we get 0, then that's our answer.

A) (-3)^2 + 2 * (-3) - 3 = 9 - 6 - 3 = 0 - correct

B) (-1)^2 + 2 * (-1) - 3 = 1 - 2 - 3 = -4 - incorrect

C) 0^2 + 2 * 0 - 3 = -3 - incorrect

D) 2^2 + 2 * 2 - 3 = 4 + 4 - 3 = 5 - incorrect

So, the answer is A.

The alternative, more "formal" way of doing this problem is to factor the quadratic: x^2 + 2x - 3 = (x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Then set each of these equal to 0: x + 3 = 0 and x - 1 = 0

We get the values of x = -3 and x = 1. Only -3 is one of the answer choices, so A is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer: 65.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the middle circle.

3.14 x 2² = 12.56

Pretend the white area doesn't exist and find the area of the shaded region.

3.14 x 5² = 78.5

Then subtract.

78.5 - 12.56 = 65.94

Solve the following ODE's: c) y* - 9y' + 18y = t^2

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

y = $C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t}$ + $\dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})$

Step-by-step explanation:

y''- 9 y' + 18 y = t²

solution of ordinary differential equation

using characteristics equation

m² - 9 m + 18 = 0

m² - 3 m - 6 m+ 18 = 0

(m-3)(m-6) = 0

m = 3,6

C.F. = $C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t}$

now calculating P.I.

$P.I. = \frac{t^2}{D^2 - 9D +18}$

$P.I. = \dfrac{t^2}{(D-3)(D-6)}\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(1-\frac{D}{6})^{-1}(t^2)\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(1+\frac{D}{6}+\frac{D^2}{36}+....)(t^2)\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36})\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1+\frac{D}{3}+\frac{D^2}{9}+....)(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36})\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})$

hence the complete solution

y = C.F. + P.I.

y = $C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t}$ + $\dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})$

Anyone know the answer to this algebra problem?

ikadub [295]

Answer: $\bold{a=1\qquad b=\dfrac{1}{16}\qquad c=\dfrac{1}{64}\qquad d=1\qquad e=\dfrac{4}{9}\qquad f=\dfrac{16}{81}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{c|l}\underline{\quad x\quad}&\underline{\quad 4^{-x}\qquad \qquad}\\-1&4^{-(-1)}=4^1=4\\\\0&4^{-(0)}=4^0=1\\\\2&4^{-(2)}=\dfrac{1}{4^2}=\dfrac{1}{16}\\\\4&4^{-(4)}=\dfrac{1}{4^4}=\dfrac{1}{64}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c|l}\underline{\quad \bigg x \quad}&\underline{\quad \bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^x\qquad \qquad}\\\\-1&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{-1}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\0&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{0}=1\\\\2&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{2}=\dfrac{2^2}{3^2}=\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\4&\bigg(\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg)^{4}=\dfrac{2^4}{3^4}=\dfrac{16}{81}\end{array}$
