You need to find points where the line g(x) intercepts the quadratic function f(x) in one and only one point.
Then 3x^2 + 4x -2 = mx - 5
solve 3x^2 + 4x - mx -2 + 5 = 0
3x^2 + (4 - m)x + 3 = 0
In order to there be only one solution (one intersection point) the radicand of the quadratic formula must be 0 =>
b^2 - 4ac = (4 - m)^2 - 4(3)(3) = 0
(4 - m)^2 = 24
4 - m = +/- √(24)
m = 4 +/- √(24) = 4 +/- 2√(6)
Then m, the slope of the line, may be 4 + 2√6 and 4 - 2√6
60/48
Both can be reduced by 12 to 5/4
So you can have 12 groups with 5 6th graders and 4 7th graders
Answer:
B 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the divisor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, -c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:
2| -2 1 5 0 4 1
↓ -4 -6 -2 -4 0
_________________
-2 -3 -1 -2 0 1→ -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹
You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [-2x⁵ + x⁴ + 5x³ + 4x + 1]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is, tells you whether the next step is to <em>subtract</em> or <em>add</em>, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that -2 in your quotient can be a -2x⁴, and the -3 [x³] follows right behind it, then 1 [-x²], -2[x], and finally, [1\x - 2] (remainder is 1, so set it over your denominator, which is the divisor), giving you the other factor of -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹.
