The expression $x^2 + 3x - 28$ can be written as $(x + a)(x - b),$ and the expression $x^2 - 10x - 56$ written as $(x + 2b)(x +

c)$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are integers such that $c > 0.$ What is the value of $2c - a$?

Answer:

Therefore the value of  $2c-a$ is $1$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression, $x²+3x-28$

                             =$x²+7x-4x-28$     [28=7×2×2, 7-(2×2)=7-4=3]

                             =$x(x+7)-4(x+7)$

                            =$(x+7)(x-4)$

Given that $x²+3x-28$ can be written as $(x+a)(x-b)$.

So comparing $(x+7)(x-4)$ and $(x+a)(x-b)$.

Therefore $a$ =$7$  and  $b$= 4

Again ,$ x²-10x-56$

         =$x²-14x+4x-56$           [ 56= 7×2×2×2, - (7×2)+(2×2) = -14+4=10]

         =$x(x-14)+4(x-14)$

         =$(x-14)(x+4)$

Given that $x²-10x-56$ can be written as $(x+2b)(x+c)$.

So comparing $(x-14)(x+4)$and$(x+2b)(x+c)$.

Then $c$=$4$     [∵$c>0$]

Therefore $2c-a$

                = $(2×4)-7$

                =$8-7$

                =$1$

Therefore the value of  $2c-a$ is $1$.

The graph of f ′ (x), the derivative of f(x), is continuous for all x and consists of five line segments as shown below. Given f
TEA [102]

According to the graph, we have for 0

f'(x)=\begin{cases}x&\text{for }0

f' is positive for all 0, which means f is strictly increasing on the interval [0, 5], and so its minimum value on this interval occurs at x=0.

We can integrate f' along each subinterval above to find f:

f(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{x^2}2+C_1&\text{for }0\le x\le 2\\\\2x+C_2&\text{for }2\le x\le 4\\\\10x-x^2+C_3&\text{for }4\le x\le5\end{cases}

f' is continuous, which means f is also continuous. This means

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}\left(\dfrac{x^2}2+C_1\right)=\lim_{x\to2}(2x+C_2)

\implies2+C_1=4+C_2\implies C_1=2+C_2

and

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to4}(2x+C_2)=\lim_{x\to4}(10x-x^2+C_3)

\implies8+C_2=24+C_3\implies C_2=16+C_3

Given that f(5)=10, we have

10(5)-5^2+C_3=10\implies C_3=-15\implies C_2=1\implies C_1=3

so that over 0\le x\le 2 we have f(x)=\dfrac{x^2}2+3. We know the minimum value occurs at x=0, so it is 3 and the answer is A.
