The largest solution of x2−x=6 is

If x2 is x squared then yes the quadratic equation would have multiple solutions. (2)

First subtract both sides by 6
x^2 - x - 6 = 0
Then, factor
(x + 2)(x - 3)= 0
The solutions for x would be either -2, or 3.
Final answer: the largest solution of x^2 - x= 6 is x=3

The left side of the equation subtracts x from 2x.
That means 1x, or just simply x, is left on the left side.
We now have this: x = 6
So, x is 6. Hope this helps!

8 × 20= 160; 8 × 4= 32; 160 + 32= 192; 8 × t= 192; 192 ÷ 8= 24; t=24
The answer is t = 24

Hope this helps :)

Consider the equation below. (If you need to use -[infinity] or [infinity], enter -INFINITY or INFINITY.)f(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 − 180x

Answer:

(a) The function is increasing $\left(-\infty, -6\right) \cup \left(5, \infty\right)$ and decreasing $\left(-6, 5\right)$

(b) The local minimum is x = 5 and the maximum is x = -6

(c) The inflection point is $x = -\frac{1}{2}$

(d) The function is concave upward on $\left(- \frac{1}{2}, \infty\right)$ and concave downward on $\left(-\infty, - \frac{1}{2}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find the intervals where $f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 -180x$ is increasing or decreasing you must:

1. Differentiate the function

$\frac{d}{dx}f(x) =\frac{d}{dx}(2x^3 + 3x^2 -180x) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(2x^3\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x^2\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(180x\right)\\\\f'(x) =6x^2+6x-180$

2. Now we want to find the intervals where f'(x) is positive or negative. This is done using critical points, which are the points where f'(x) is either 0 or undefined.

$f'(x) =6x^2+6x-180 =0\\\\6x^2+6x-180 = 6\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)=0\\\\x=5,\:x=-6$

These points divide the number line into three intervals:

$(-\infty,-6)$ , $(-6,5)$ , and $(5, \infty)$

Evaluate f'(x) at each interval to see if it's positive or negative on that interval.

$\left\begin{array}{cccc}Interval&x-value&f'(x)&Verdict\\(-\infty,-6)&-7&72&Increasing\\(-6,5)&0&-180&Decreasing\\(5, \infty)&6&72&Increasing\end{array}\right$

Therefore f(x) is increasing $\left(-\infty, -6\right) \cup \left(5, \infty\right)$ and decreasing $\left(-6, 5\right)$

(b) Now that we know the intervals where f(x) increases or decreases, we can find its extremum points. An extremum point would be a point where f(x) is defined and f'(x) changes signs.

We know that:

f(x) increases before x = -6, decreases after it, and is defined at x = -6. So f(x) has a relative maximum point at x = -6.

f(x) decreases before x = 5, increases after it, and is defined at x = 5. So f(x) has a relative minimum point at x = 5.

(c)-(d) An Inflection Point is where a curve changes from Concave upward to Concave downward (or vice versa).

Concave upward is when the slope increases and concave downward is when the slope decreases.

To find the inflection points of f(x), we need to use the f''(x)

$f''(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^2+6x-180\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\f''(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(180\right)\\\\f''(x) =12x+6$
