Slope of tangent line = dy/dx = 2x+3
k is y_intercept of tangent line
2x+3 = -1
x = -2
y = (-2)^2+3(-2)+1 = -1
tangent line passes through point (-2,-1)
k = x+y
k = -2 -1
k = -3
Factor the following:
2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9
Factor terms by grouping. 2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9 = (2 x^3 + x^2) + (-18 x - 9) = x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1)
Factor 2 x + 1 from x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 9)
x^2 - 9 = x^2 - 3^2:
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 3^2)
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 3^2 = (x - 3) (x + 3):
Answer: (x - 3) (x + 3) (2 x + 1) thus the Answer is C.
Answer:
The only difference is that we line up the numbers according to the decimal point. For addition, it doesn't matter which number goes on the bottom.
A rational number can always be represented as a fraction.
5.2 = 52/10
5.5 = 55/10
A number between them would be 54/10 since 54 is between 52 and 55.
An irrational number cannot be represented as a fraction. A good example of an irrational number is the square root of a number.
sqrt(5.2^2) = 5.2 ----> 5.2^2 = 27.04
sqrt(5.5^2) = 5.5 ----> 5.5^2 = 30.25
The square root of a number between 27.04 and 30.25 will be an irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5
sqrt(28) = 5.2915...
