As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.
y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5 should be written <span>y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5. The
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.
I see you're apparently in middle school. Is that so? If so, are you taking calculus already? If so, nice!
Case 1: You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values. Sketch the function </span>y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5). Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?
Case 2: You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test. Differentiate y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:
dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0. Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:
dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0 I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3. Try it yourself. This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1. Again, you should check this.
Now we have 2 roots: -1 and 2/3
Draw a number line. Locate the origin (0,0). Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0). This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:
(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).
Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above. If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.

Answer:
P = 49°
R = 131°
Q = 114°
S = 66°
Step-by-step explanation:
in a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles are always supplementary, meaning they add up to 150
we are given opposite angles P and R (S is not given so we can't use Q and S)
P+R = 180
5y+14 + 15y + 26 = 180
20y + 40 = 180
20y = 140
y = 7
so...
P = 5(7) + 14 = 35 + 14 = 49
R = 180-49 (since opposite angles in inscribed quadrilaterals are supplementary) = 131
Q = (7)^2 + 65 = 49 + 65 = 114
S = 180-114 = 66
Answer: it should be 10!
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triange is a=bh/2, so if you plug in your base and height, you get ten!

The total bill will be the sum of the rent and the cost for the total time spent.
$15 + $6 * 2.5
$15 + $15
$30
