Answer:

x1=2 and x2 =-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-x-6=0 (quvadratic equation)

a=2, b=-1, c=-6

x1=(-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x1=(-(-1)+sqrt((-1)^2 - 4*2*(-6)))/2*2

x1 =(1+sqrt (1+48))/4

x1= (1+sqrt(49))/4

x1 =(1+7)/4

x1=8/4

x1=2

x2=(-b-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x2=(1-7)/4

x2=-6/4

x2=-3/2

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Easy, easy!</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

<u><em>Let's use trial and error!</em></u>

Since we can factor this equation, let's do it!

2x^{2} -x-6=0\\2x^{2} -x=6\\x(2x-1)=6\\\\

So this means that we have 2 factors: x and (2x-1)

Those 2 factors multiplied by each must other equal 6.

So at the top of my head two numbers that multiplied by each other equal 6 are 3 and 2.

Let's try x=3 and (2x-1)=2

Since x=3,

(2x-1)=2\\(2(3)-1)=2\\(6-1)=2\\(5)\neq 2

It means that we should keep trying!!!

Let's try x=2 and (2x-1)=3

Since x=2,

(2x-1)=3\\(2(2)-1)=3\\(4-1)=3\\3=3

So we have our answer!!!

x=2

assuming that no questions are left unanswered, in how many ways can a six-question quiz with 4-choice multiple choice questions
AfilCa [17]

Given:

Total number of questions = 6

Choice for each question (in MCQ) = 4

Assuming that no questions are left unanswered.

To find:

The total number ways to answer the quiz, assuming that no questions are left unanswered.

Solution:

Here, Number of ways to answer each question = 4

To find the  total number ways to answer 6 MCQ, we have to have to multiply number of ways to answer each question 6 times.

Total number of ways to answer six-question quiz with 4-choice multiple choice questions is

4\times 4\times 4\times 4\times 4\times 4=4096

Therefore, the required number of ways is 4096.

how that every member of the family of functions y = (4 ln(x) + C)/x is a solution of the differential equation x2y' + xy = 4. (
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

y=\dfrac{4\ln x+C}x\implies y'=\dfrac{x(4\ln x+C)'-(4\ln x+C)(x)'}{x^2}=\dfrac{4-4\ln x-C}{x^2}

Substitute this into the differential equation:

x^2y'+xy=4-4\ln x-C+4\ln x+C=4

so every solution of the given form y is a solution.
