f(x) = -5x^2 - x + 20;

f(3) = -5*3^2 - 3 + 20 = -5*9 - 3 + 20 = -45 - 3 + 20 = -28;

HELP PLEASE! What’s the domain and range?

NeX [460]

Answer:

Domain → (-∞, -1)∪(-1, ∞)

Range → (-∞, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

$\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{x^2+2x-5}{2x+2}$

This function is not defined when the denominator is zero.

2x + 2 = 0

2x = -2

x = -1

Therefore, x = -1 is not in the domain of this function.

And the domain will be,

(-∞, -1)∪(-1, ∞)

For all values of x (except x = -1) we get some output values (value of $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ ).

Therefore, range of the function will be (-∞, ∞).

Cos^2 x+4sin^2 x/2=1

lana [24]

$Let\ \dfrac{x}{2}=a,\ therefore\ x=2a.\\\\\cos^2x+4\sin^2\dfrac{x}{2}=\cos^22a+4\sin^2a\\\\\text{use}\ \cos2x=\sin^2x-\cos^2x\\\\=(\sin^2a-\cos^2a)^2+4\sin^2a\\\\\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\=(\sin^2a)^2-2(\sin^2a)(\cos^2a)+(\cos^2a)^2+4\sin^2a\\\\=\sin^4a-2\sin^2a\cos^2a+\cos^4a+4\sin^2a\\\\=\underbrace{\sin^4a+2\sin^2a\cos^2a+\cos^4a}_{(*)}-4\sin^2a\cos^2a+4\sin^2a\\\\\text{use}\ (*)\qquad(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

$=\underbrace{(\sin^2a)^2+2\sin^2a\cos^2a+(\cos^2a)^2}_{(*)}-4\sin^2a(\cos^2a-1)\\\\=(\sin^2a+\cos^2a)^2-4\sin^2a(\cos^2a-1)\\\\\text{use}\ \sin^2a+\cos^2a=1\to\sin^2a=\cos^2a-1\\\\=1^2-4\sin^2a(\sin^2a)=1-4\sin^4a=1-(2\sin^2a)^2$

$\cos^22a+4\sin^2a=1\\\\1-(2\sin^2a)^2=1\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-(2\sin^2a)^2=0\to2\sin^2a=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\sin^2a=0\to\sin a=0\\\\a=k\pi\ for\ k\in\mathbb{Z}\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}=k\pi\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\\boxed{x=2k\pi\ for\ k\in\mathbb{Z}}$

Maria bought a stock for x dollars, and she sold it at a profit of 20 %. Write a

Rus_ich [418]

Answer: 1.2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = Selling price - Cost

She bought the stock at a cost of x dollars

Her profit was 20% of that, which is 0.2x dollars

Selling price = Profit + Cost = x + 0.2x = 1.2x

Find the value of c that makes the trinomial a perfect square. .<br> x² – 24x7c

sergey [27]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find c is:

$(\frac{b}{2} )^{2}$

So put -24 into b:

$(\frac{-24}{2} )^{2}$

Which simplifies to:

144

So if you want to test this:

x^2 - 24x + 144

(x-12)^2
