Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(simplify)

(Add 3 to both sides)
(simplify)

(Multiply both sides by p)

(Multiply both sides by 2)

(Divide both sides by 7)
0 = f(x) = (x - r)(x - s) = x² - (r+s) + rs
We have r=1.5+√2, s=1.5 -√2 so r+s = 3 and
rs = (1.5+√2)(1.5 - √2) = 1.5² - (√2)² = 2.25 - 2 = 0.25
f(x) = x² - 3x + -.25
For integer coefficients we mulitply by 4,
g(x) = 4f(x) = 4x² - 12x - 1
Answer: 4x² - 12x - 1 = 0
14 or 14.04 if you want to be more specific
Answer:
y = 1/2x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same gradient
So,
gradient for second line = gradient of the first line = 1/2
Also,
the line passes through (-6,-17)
So, we can find the y-intercept by substitution
y = mx + c
-17 = (1/2 * -6) + c
-17 = -3 + c
c = -14
So,
the equation is y = 1/2x - 14
