<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Multiply the first and last coefficient

Find a pair that has the product of ac (above) and the sum of b

Replace the b-term with the pair.

Divide the four terms into two-terms on the left side and two terms on the right side and factor out the common terms from each side.

This is reverse of the distributive property so the terms factored out (on the outside of the common term) combine to create a factor and the common term is the other factor.  

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for the variable.

***************************************************************************************

1a. Answer: a = 1/2      a = -1

2a² + 3a + 1 = 0      → ac=2, b = 3    → use 1, 2  (product is 2 & sum is 3)

2a² + 2a + 1a + 1 = 0

2a² + 2a     +1a + 1        = 0

2a(<u>a + 1</u>)      +1(<u>a + 1</u>)      = 0

(2a + 1)(a + 1) = 0

2a + 1 = 0       and         a + 1 = 0

       a = 1/2    and               a = -1

**************************************************************************************

1b. Answer: y = -5/2    y = -5

2y² + 5y - 25 = 0  → ac=-50, b = 5 → use 10, -5  (product is -50 & sum is -5)

2y² + 10y - 5y - 25 = 0

2y² + 10y      - 5y - 25        = 0

2y(<u>y + 5</u>)      -5(<u>y + 5</u>)      = 0

(2y - 5)(y + 5) = 0

2y + 5 = 0       and         y + 5 = 0

       y = -5/2    and               y = -5

**************************************************************************************

1c. Answer: y = 5     y = 1/2

2y² - 11y + 5 = 0  → ac=10, b = -11 → use -1, -10  (product is 10 & sum is -11)

2y² - 1y - 10y + 5 = 0

2y² - 1y       -10y + 5        = 0

y(<u>2y - 1</u>)      -5(<u>2y - 1</u>)      = 0

(y - 5)(2y - 1) = 0

y - 5 = 0       and         2y - 1 = 0

     y = 5       and               y = 1/2

At what point of the curve y = cosh(x does the tangent have slope 2?
Dahasolnce [82]
The hyperbolic cos (cosh) is given by
cosh (x) = (e^x + e^-x) / 2
The slope of a tangent line to a function at a point is given by the derivative of that function at that point.
d/dx [cosh(x)] = d/dx[(e^x + e^-x) / 2] = (e^x - e^-x) / 2 = sinh(x)
Given that the slope is 2, thus
sinh(x) = 2
x = sinh^-1 (2) = 1.444

Therefore, the curve of y = cosh(x) has a slope of 2 at point x = 1.44

On a number line, what is x-4&lt;-3?
goblinko [34]

Add 4 to both sides

x - 4 < -3

x-4+4 < -3+4

x < 1

To graph this on a number line, plot an open circle at 1 on the number line. Do not fill in the open circle. Shade to the left of the open circle. The shaded region represents all x values smaller than 1.

The graph is shown below.
