Answer:
The square root function
sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.
However if you have an equation
x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.
Two ways to look at it.
x² - 144 = 0
Difference of two squares
(x+12)(x-12) = 0
x = -12, 12
x² = 144
x = ±√144
x = ±12
x = -12, 12
Since the train travels at a rate of 70 miles/hour, the train will take 5 hours to have traveled a total of 350 miles. The missing information in the question you've proposed is the value of "H" or the number of hours (as the unit hours is indicated in the question). This can be determined with the formula <em>Distance = rate X time. </em>350 = 70 X H, in this case. To isolate the variable H, 70 (the rate) divides 350 (the total distance) into 5. 350 ÷ 70 = H. 5 = H, the amount of time spent traveling for 350 miles at a rate of 70 miles/hour.
Work from the left to right.
add 1/4 and 1/2 which would give you 3/4
then subtract 3/4 from both sides of the equal sign witch would give you
x=-3/2
Answer:
t = 1.107
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the solution using derivatives involves finding the lower zero of the quadratic that is the second derivative of the given function. That second derivative will be ...
f''(t) = 12(1.6714)t^2 -6(22.45)t +2(62.27)
= 20.0568t^2 -134.7t +124.54
= 20.0568(t -3.35796)² -101.619 . . . . rewrite to vertex form
Then f''(t) = 0 when ...
t ≈ 3.35796 -√(101.619/20.0568) ≈ 1.10706
__
The solution is perhaps more easily found using a graphing calculator to find the peak of the first derivative. (See attached.) It tells us ...
t ≈ 1.107
1.1 years after the beginning of 1998 is about 1.2 months into 1999.
Rents were increasing most rapidly in early February of 1999.
