What value is added to both sides of the equation x2 − 4x = −2 in order to solve by completing the square? 4, 2 , −2 , −4

1 answer:

6 0

X^2 - 4 x = -2
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 2
Write the left-hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 2
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x = 2 - sqrt(2)

Part A: 6250

Part B: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Part B: When Time is 2 Hours, the cost is $30.

30x3=90 < 100

So the unlimited weekly pass is not cheaper

For the function given below, find a formula for the Riemann sum obtained by dividing the interval (0, 3) into n equal subinterv

Viktor [21]

Splitting up [0, 3] into $n$ equally-spaced subintervals of length $\Delta x=\frac{3-0}n = \frac3n$ gives the partition

$\left[0, \dfrac3n\right] \cup \left[\dfrac3n, \dfrac6n\right] \cup \left[\dfrac6n, \dfrac9n\right] \cup \cdots \cup \left[\dfrac{3(n-1)}n, 3\right]$

where the right endpoint of the $i$ -th subinterval is given by the sequence

$r_i = \dfrac{3i}n$

for $i\in\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\}$ .

Then the definite integral is given by the infinite Riemann sum

$\displaystyle \int_0^3 2x^2 \, dx = \lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{i=1}^n 2{r_i}^2 \Delta x \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac6n \sum_{i=1}^n \left(\frac{3i}n\right)^2 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{54}{n^3} \sum_{i=1}^n i^2 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{54}{n^3}\cdot\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6 = \boxed{18}$
