Answer: The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2
=========================================================
Explanation:
You have the right idea so far. But the two numbers should be 3 and -4 since
The -1 being the coefficient of the x term.
This means you need to change the -3x and 4x to 3x and -4x respectively. The other inner boxes are correct.
---------
Refer to the diagram below to see one way to fill out the box method, and that helps determine the factorization.
If we place a 2x to the left of -2x^2, then we need an -x up top because 2x*(-x) = -2x^2
Then based on that outer 2x, we need a -2 up top over the -4x. That way we get 2x*(-2) = -4x
So we have the factor -x-2 along the top
The last thing missing is the -3 to the left of 3x. Note how -3*(-x) = 3x in the left corner and -3*(-2) = 6 in the lower right corner.
We have the factor 2x-3 along the left side.
---------
The two factors are (2x-3) and (-x-2) which leads to the factorization (x+3)(-x+2)
The last thing to do is set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x
- 2x-3 = 0 solves to x = 3/2 = 1.5
- -x-2 = 0 solves to x = -2
The two roots are x = 3/2 and x = -2

Answer:
0.008
Step-by-step explanation:
because you have to divide it
Answer:
X >= 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find any of the info we need we have to find the first derivative of the equation. If

, then

. We are told to find the slope at point (1, 7). Using that x value in our derivative will give us the slope of the line at that point. y' = -(1)^2+8. So y' = 7. That's the slope of the line. Now we will use that slope along with the x and y coordinate in the slope-intercept form of a line to solve for b. 7 = 7(1) + b so b = 0. Our equation then is y = 7x. If you graph these in the same window on your calculator, you can see how perfectly that align at the given point. It's really quite perfect.
