Answer:

(4x² -6x+1.5²) +9-1.5²= (2x-1.5)²+9-2.25= (2x-1.5)²+6.75

(2x-1.5)² is greater or equal to 0 , 6.75>0 so expression is positive for all real numbers x

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Use the formula a²-2ab+b²= (a-b)² (You need to make squared expression because it is always positive)

Consider 4x² as a² and -6x=-2ab

4x²=a² a=2x  ab=3x 2x*b=3x

b=1.5

Express 4x² -6x+9= (4x² -6x+1.5²) +9-1.5²= (2x-1.5)²+9-2.25= (2x-1.5)²+6.75

(2x-1.5)² is greater or equal to 0 , 6.75>0 so expression is positive for all real numbers x

How many solutions does the following linear equation have?<br> y = -2x -4<br> y = 1/2x - 5
Andrews [41]

Answer:

x=2/5, y=-24/5. (2/5, -24/5).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x-4

y=1/2x-5

----------------

-2x-4=1/2x-5

-2x-1/2x-4=-5

-4/2x-1/2x=-5+4

-5/2x=-1

5/2x=1

x=1/(5/2)

x=2/5

y=1/2(2/5)-5

y=1/5-5

y=1/5-25/5

y=-24/5
