Factoring a quadratic with leading coefficient greater than 1 2y^2+17y-9

Mathematics

Multiply first and last coefficients:
2*(-9) = -18

Find 2 factors which multiply to -18 and add up to 17:
18 and -1

Rewrite quadratic with 17y split up as' 18y - y', Then factor by grouping:

2y^2 - y + 18y -9 \\  \\ y(2y-1) + 9(2y-1) \\  \\ (2y-1)(y+9)

Help please!<br>figure out the "inflection point" of the following function<br>f(x)=5x³ + 2x² − 3x​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

x = -2/15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the second derivative:

f'(x) = 15x^2 +4x - 3

f"(x) = 30x + 4

30x + 4 = 0   for a point of inflection

x = -4/30 =  -2/15

So 30x + 4 is negative up to x =  -2/15 and positive thereafter.

So the curve passes from concave downward to concave upward at x = -2/15.

probability = number of successful events / number of total events

  • look for the sums that are 11 and count them (there are 2 - 5,6 and 6,5).
  • total the number of all events (36)
  • so you then get the 2/36

there are
