Answer:

Hello :

y = 2x² - x -6

y = 2 ( x² - 1/2 x - 3)

y = 2 (x² -1/2 x + 1/16 -1/16 -3)

y = 2 (( x - 1/4 )² - 49/16).....  the quadratic formula

y = 0 :  ( x - 1/4 )² - 49/16 = 0

( x - 1/4 )² - (7/4)² = 0

( x -1/4-7/4)( x -1/4+7/4)=0

(x -2)(x + 3/2) = 0

x - 2 = 0 or x + 3/2 =0

x = 2 or x = - 3/2

stiv31 [10]
2 / (z-5) = z / (0.5z^2 + 7)
cross multiply
z(z - 5) = 2(0.5z^2 + 7) =
z^2 - 5z = z^2 + 14 = 
z^2 - z^2 - 5z = 14
-5z = 14
z = -14/5

For f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=x^2-7 find (f-g)(x)
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

-x² + 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially we need to subtract g(x) from f(x):

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = (2x + 1) - (x² - 7)

Distribute the negative:

(2x + 1) - x² - (-7) = (2x + 1) - x² + 7

Combine like terms:

2x + 1 - x² + 7

-x² + 2x + 8

Thus, the answer is -x² + 2x + 8.
