f(x)= x^2 -6x +21
0 =x^2-6x+21
subtract 21 from each side to prepare for completing the square
-21 = x^2 -6x
completing the square (b/2)^2
(-6/2) ^ =3^2 = 9
add 9 to each side
-21 +9 = x^2 - 6x + 9
-21 +9 =(x-3) ^2
-12 = (x-3)^2
take the square root of each side
+- sqrt(-12) = x-3
add 3 to each side, take out the negative inside the square root
3 +- i sqrt(12)=x
simplify the square root sqrt(12)= sqrt(4)sqrt(3) =2sqrt(3)
3 +- i 2sqrt (3) = x
Answer: 3+2isqrt(3)
3-2isqrt(3)
The answer is 28x^2+20x.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
f(x) = 0.25(5.25)ˣ
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to show exponential growth, the numbers must be positive and the base of the exponent must be larger than 1.
Think of it as a percentage. The base of the exponent will be the percentage of the original amount taken each time; if it is less than 1.00 then it would shrink. Larger than 1.00 will grow. The only one with positive numbers and a growth factor of greater than 1 is f(x) = 0.25(5.25)ˣ.
