Answer:

x = 2 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

x - 2 = sqrt(x - 2)                  You could divide both sides by sqrt(x - 2)

sqrt(x - 2) = 1                        Square both sides

x - 2 = 1                                Add 2 to both sides

x = 3

There is a second way.

x - 2 = sqrt(x - 2)                 Square

x^2 - 4x + 4 = x - 2             Transfer x - 2 to the left

x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0                   Factor

(x - 2)(x-3)      = 0                 Find the roots.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

We have to check both results.

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

2 = 2 + sqrt(2 -2)

2 = 2 + 0

2 = 2    This seems to work.

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

3 = 2 + sqrt(3 - 2)

3 = 2 + sqrt(1)

3 = 2 + 1

3 = 3  And this works.

4. Which term of the AP:3, 8, 13, 18,...,is 78?​
givi [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the AP (a) = 3

and common difference (d) = 8-3= 5

therefore, a+(n-1)d = 78

=> 3+(n-1)5= 78

=> n-1=75/5

=> n-1 = 15

=> n= 16

16th term of the AP is 78

Find the intervals on which the function is increasing or decreasing.
Assoli18 [71]
To solve this, you have to know that the first derivative of a function is its slope. When an interval is increasing, it has a positive slope. Thus, we are trying to solve for when the first derivative of a function is positive/negative.

f(x)=2x^3+6x^2-18x+2
f'(x)=6x^2+12x-18
f'(x)=6(x^2+2x-3)
f'(x)=6(x+3)(x-1)
So the zeroes of f'(x) are at x=1, x=-3
Because there is no multiplicity, when the function passes a zero, he y value is changing signs.
Since f'(0)=-18, intervals -3<x<1 is decreasing(because -3<0<1)
Thus, every other portion of the graph is increasing.
Therefore, you get:

Increasing: (negative infinite, -3), (1, infinite)
Decreasing:(-3,1)

Hye Sun has a modern coffee table whose top is a triangle with the following side legngths: 8 feet , 3 feet, and 5 feet. Is Hye
ale4655 [162]
8 feet is the longest side so it would be the hypotenuse. Use the Pythagorean formula to check.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2+5^2 = 8^2
9 + 25 = 64
34 = 64
This is obviously not true si it is not a right triangle.
