Answer:

There are no simple factors to this expression. You can however solve for x, giving you:

x = -1 ± √(y + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no simple pair of factors to this equation, so we'll have to go through the full process. You can see that by observing that there is no pair of rational numbers that add to make 2 and multiply to make -2. We can however solve for x:

$y = x^2 + 2x - 2\\y + 2 = x^2 + 2x\\y + 3 = x^2 + 2x + 1\\y + 3 = (x + 1)^2\\(x + 1)^2 = y + 3\\x + 1 = \pm \sqrt{y + 3}\\x = -1 \pm \sqrt{y + 3}$

A light shines from the top of a pole 50ft high. a ball is dropped from the same height from a point 30 ft away from the light.

belka [17]

The speed of the ball is
ds/dt = 32t
At t =1/2 s
ds/dt = 16 ft/s
The distance from the ground
50 - 16(1/2)^2 = 46 ft
The triangles formed are similar
50/46 = (30 + x)/x
x = 345 ft

50 / (50 - s) = (30 + x)/x
Taking the derivative and substituing
ds/dt = 16
and
Solve for dx/dt

What is the least prime number greater than 50?

uysha [10]

A prime number is a number that has only two factors: 1 and itself
For example, the number 7 has two factors: 1,7 This makes 7 a prime number
Since the number has to be greater than 50, we can go to the next whole number; 51
51 has four factors, 1,3,17,51 This is not our prime number
52 is even so obviously it's not prime because you can divide by two
53 has only two factors; 1,53 This means that its prime and the answer is 53 :)
