Answer:
The linear term is -5x
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear term is the term that has the degree equal to 1.
The given function is
y = 2x^2 − 5x − 12
here 2x^2 = quadratic term i.e having degree 2
-5x = linear term i.e having degree 1
-12 = constant
so, The linear term is -5x
Answer
................. 60 seconds.. in a minute
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of time of what?
-2=-x+x square-4
firstly regroup the equation
x square-2x+x-2=0
x square-x-2=0
multiply the first term by the last term.(I.e x square multiply by -2=-2x square)
product of factor = -2x 1
sum of factor= -2x+1(x)= -1
x square -2x+x-2=0
open the bracket:
x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0
x=1 or x=-2
Therefore; x=-1 or x=2
Soccer ball reaches its highest position when its equation turns from positive slope to zero and then negative. Mathematically it is where the derivative of the its function equals to zero. so:
d(-3x^2 + 6x + 3) / dx = -6x + 6
-6x + 6 = 0 -> x = 1 ->

it seems Paige's ball reaches higher than Viaola's with only 6 meters height.
