Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: p(t) = t^2 + 5t + 6.
To find the critical points, differentiate p(t) with respect to t, set the result = to 0, and then solve the resulting equation for t:
p '(t) = 2t + 5 = 0
Solving for t: 2t = -5, and so t = -5/2. (-5/2, p(-5/2)) is the critical point. That evaluates to (-5/2, -0.25). This happens to be the vertex of a parabola that opens up.
If a solution(s) exists y=y so we can say:
x^2-3x=-2x+2 add 2x to both sides
x^2-x=2 subtract 2 from both sides
x^2-x-2=0 factor
(x-2)(x+1)=0
So x=-1 and 2, using y=-2x+2 we find:
y(-1)=4 and y(2)=-2
So the two solutions occur at the points:
(-1,4) and (2,-2)
Answer:
x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Noah's age = x
Jacob's age = x – 3
In seven years,
Jacob's age = x – 3 + 7
Jacob's age = x + 4
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.
Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.
Answer:
x=1
