6 0

:) Brainliest pls??

Answer:

The positive solution is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6 = 5x (Subtract 5x from both sides)

x^2 -5x - 6 = 0 (We can factor this, so there is no need to use the quadratic formula)

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

If the product of the two terms is zero then either one being equal to zero will cause the whole expression to be zero.

The solutions are:

x - 6 = 0 (Add 6 to both sides)

x = 6

x + 1 = 0 (Subtract 1 from both sides)

x = -1

The positive solution is 6.

I don’t quite understand what to do or how to solve it. Can someone explain please ?

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the vertical line test. Anywhere on that graph, you can draw a vertical line, and it will not touch the function two times. Because of this, it is true.

Evaluate the integral by interpreting it in terms of areas Draw a picture of the region the integral

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture is below of how to separate this into 2 different regions, which you have to because it's not continuous over the whole function. It "breaks" at x = 2. So the way to separate this is to take the integral from x = 0 to x = 2 and then add it to the integral for x = 2 to x = 3. In order to integrate each one of those "parts" of that absolute value function we have to determine the equation for each line that makes up that part.

For the integral from [0, 2], the equation of the line is -3x + 6;

For the integral from [2, 3], the equation of the line is 3x - 6.

We integrate then:

$\int\limits^2_0 {-3x+6} \, dx+\int\limits^3_2 {3x-6} \, dx$ and

$-\frac{3x^2}{2}+6x\left \} {{2} \atop {0}} \right. +\frac{3x^2}{2}-6x\left \} {{3} \atop {2}} \right.$ sorry for the odd representation; that's as good as it gets here!
