Answer:
Domain: (-∞, ∞)
Range: [0, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain represents what x can be. In this scenario, we do not have x as a denominator, and there is nothing limiting x, so its domain is (-∞, ∞)
The range represents what f(x) can be, Because |x-4| is in absolute value, the lowest |x-4| can be is 0, and as a result, the lowest value of 2|x-4| is 2*0=0. The maximum value of f(x) is ∞ as an absolute value does not limit the maximum, making the range [0, ∞)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.
The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots. From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.
Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40. Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.
Using the quadratic formula:
-4 ±√[-40] -4 ± 2i√10
x = ------------------ = ------------------
4 4
-2 ± i√10
Thus, the roots are x = ------------------
2
The answer is .1391
Hope this helps!
(If your confused, I just put this in a calculator)
