Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

What is the range of the function y=3√x+8? O-∞ O-8 O 0≤y<∞ O 2≤y<∞

Ket [755]

Answer: 0 ≤ y < ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us graph the function. See attached.

-> If I graphed the formatting of the square root sign incorrectly, please let me know so I can fix the answer.

The range of the function is all of the function's output values. In this case, all of the y values.
