Answer:
for 18 x is 6 and for 20 it is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
For 18, since -1+2x and 5+x is the same thing, set up and equation. WE can simplify to -1+x=5 and then we get x=6
For 20, 18 is 11 since 18=-4+2x. If we simplify we get 22=2x then we can use algebra to say that x=11
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
a. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is;

To solve by the x-intercept method we need to graph the corresponding function using a graphing calculator or software.
The corresponding function is

The solution to
is where the graph touches the x-axis.
We can see from the graph that; the x-intercepts are;
(-1,0),(3,0) and (6,0).
Therefore the real solutions are:

I think (-6,-2) because it would switch into the all negative quadrant making them both negative.
60, 60 and 60 degrees
There are two criteria: the angles have to all be equal and they have to add up to 180 degrees. This answer satisfies both criteria.

Answer:
maximum difference is 38 at x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
This is nicely solved by a graphing calculator, which can plot the difference between the functions. The attached shows the maximum difference on the given interval is 38 at x = -3.

Ordinarily, the distance between curves is measured vertically. Here that means you're interested in finding the stationary points of the difference between the functions, along with that difference at the ends of the interval. The maximum difference magnitude is what you're interested in.
h(x) = g(x) -f(x) = (2x³ +5x² -15x) -(x³ +3x² -2) = x³ +2x² -15x +2
Then the derivative is ...
h'(x) = 3x² +4x -15 = (x +3)(3x -5)
This has zeros (stationary points) at x = -3 and x = 5/3. The values of h(x) of concern are those at x=-5, -3, 5/3, 3. These are shown in the attached table.
The maximum difference between f(x) and g(x) is 38 at x = -3.
