Answer:

1 ± i(1/2)√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Write this quadratic in standard form: subtract 3 from both sides. This results in 2x^2 - 4x - 3 = 0. Let's apply the quadratic formula. The coefficients of the x terms are 2, -4 and -3, so the discriminant is (-4)^2 - 4(2)(-3), or 16 - 24 = -8.

Following the format of the quadratic formula, we get

-(-4) ±i2√8 4 ±i2√2

x = ----------------- = --------------- = 1 ± i(1/2)√2

Answer:

following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

In point a:

$\vec{v} = -\vec{1 i} +\vec{1j}\\\\|\vec{v}| = \sqrt{-1^2+1^2}$

$=\sqrt{1+1}\\\\=\sqrt{2}$

calculating unit vector:

$\frac{\vec{v}}{|\vec{v}|} = \frac{-1i+1j}{\sqrt{2}}$

the point Q is at a distance h from P(6,6) Here, h=0.1

$a=-6+O.1 \times \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\= 5.92928 \\\\b= 6+O.1 \times \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}} \\\\= 6.07071$

the value of Q= (5.92928 ,6.07071 )

In point b:

Calculating the directional derivative of $f (x, y) = \sqrt{x+3y}$ at P in the direction of $\vec{v}$

$f_{PQ} (P) =\fracx{f(Q)-f(P)}{h}\\\\$

$=\frac{f(5.92928 ,6.07071)-f(6,6)}{0.1}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{(5.92928+ 3 \times 6.07071)}-\sqrt{(6+ 3\times 6)}}{0.1}\\\\= \frac{0.197651557}{0.1}\\\\= 1.97651557$

$\vec{v} = 1.97651557$

In point C:

Computing the directional derivative using the partial derivatives of f.

$f_x(x,y)= \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x+3y}}\\\\ f_x (6,6)= \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{22}}\\\\f_x(x,y)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+3y}}\\\\ f_x (6,6)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{22}}\\\\f_{(PQ)}(P)= (f_x \vec{i} + f_y \vec{j}) \cdot \frac{\vec{v}}{|\vec{v}|}\\\\= (\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{22}}\vec{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{22}} \vec{j}) \cdot \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\vec{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \vec{j}$
