To factor x²-2x-4, you are looking to answer three questions.

1) What pair of numbers multiplies to 4?

2) What pair of numbers multiplies to 1?

3) Do these pairs when multiplied together, add/subtract to the middle term?

To answer (1), our pairs are 2 and 2, 4 and 1. Since there's a negative with 4 at the end (from question one), the signs will be opposite.

To answer (2), only pair multiplies to 1 - 1 and 1. Let's try both pairs from 1.

(x-4)(x+1) The middle term here is -3x. Nope.

(x-1)(x+4). The middle term here is 3x. Nope.

(x-2)(x+2) The middle term is 0x (or no middle term). Nope.

So x²-2x-4 does not factor.

g100num [7]

Answer:

The required vector parametric equation is given as:

r(t) = <3cost, 3sint>

For 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

f(x, y) = <2y, -sin(y)>

Since C is a cirlce centered at the origin (0, 0), with radius r = 3, it takes the form

(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = r²

Which is

x² + y² = 9

Because

cos²β + sin²β = 1

and we want to find a vector parametric equations r(t) for the circle C that starts at the point (3, 0), we can write

x = 3cosβ

y = 3sinβ

So that

x² + y² = 3²cos²β + 3²sin²β

= 9(cos²β + sin²β) = 9

That is

x² + y² = 9

The vector parametric equation r(t) is therefore given as

r(t) = <x(t), y(t)>

= <3cost, 3sint>

For 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π

Which sequence is modeled by the graph below? coordinate plane showing the points 1, 2; 2, 2; 3, 2; 4, 2
prisoha [69]

We will start with plotting the x coordinates and y coordinates on the graph

The points 1, 2; 2, 2; 3, 2; 4, 2  have been plotted on the graph which has been attached as an image to the solution.

We can see that the value of y is staying constant (2) for all values of x.

Hence, the points represent the equation y = 2.
