What are the critical points for the inequality 2x+5/x-2≥x-1/x-2?

Pachacha [2.7K]

1) When the denominator equals zero that is a critical point

=> x - 2 = 0 => x = 2.

So x = 2 is a critical point

2) Simplify the numerator to find an expresion of the king p(x) ≥ 0 or p(x) ≤ 0. Where p(x) equals zero you have other(s) critical point(s)

Multiply both terms:

[2x + 5] / [ x - 2] = [x - 1] / [x - 2]

for x ≠ 2 => 2x + 5 = x - 1

=> 2x - x = - 1 - 5

=> x = - 6

Then, the two critical points are x = 2 and x = - 6.

Find the equation, (f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k), for a parabola containing point (2, -1) and having (4, -3) as a vertex. What is the s

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is written in the form

$f(x)=a((x-h)^2+k)$ (1)

where:

$h$ is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$ak$ is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$a$ is a scale factor

For the parabola in the problem, we know that the vertex has coordinates (4,-3), so we have:

$h=4$ (2)

$ak=-3$

From this last equation, we get that $a=\frac{-3}{k}$ (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) into (1) we get the new expression:

$f(x)=-\frac{3}{k}((x-4)^2+k) = -\frac{3}{k}(x-4)^2 -3$ (4)

We also know that the parabola contains the point (2,-1), so we can substitute

x = 2

f(x) = -1

Into eq.(4) and find the value of k:

$-1=-\frac{3}{k}(2-4)^2-3\\-1=-\frac{3}{k}\cdot 4 -3\\2=-\frac{12}{k}\\k=-\frac{12}{2}=-6$

So we also get:

$a=-\frac{3}{k}=-\frac{3}{-6}=\frac{1}{2}$

So the equation of the parabola is:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x-4)^2 -6)$ (5)

Now we want to rewrite it in the standard form, i.e. in the form

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

To do that, we simply rewrite (5) expliciting the various terms, we find:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x^2-8x+16)-6)=\frac{1}{2}(x^2-8x+10)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$
