Combine like terms:
subtract x from both sides to get
2x+5=14
subtract 5
2x=9
isolate x:
divide 2 from both sides to isolate x
x=9/2
that's your final answer. unless your teacher wants you to put it in decimal form in which all you do is divide 9÷2.
First, for end behavior, the highest power of x is x^3 and it is positive. So towards infinity, the graph will be positive, and towards negative infinity the graph will be negative (because this is a cubic graph)
To find the zeros, you set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x
x^3+2x^2-8x=0
x(x^2+2x-8)=0
x(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=0 x=-4 x=2
So the zeros are at 0, -4, and 2. Therefore, you can plot the points (0,0), (-4,0) and (2,0)
And we can plug values into the original that are between each of the zeros to see which intervals are positive or negative.
Plugging in a -5 gets us -35
-1 gets us 9
1 gets us -5
3 gets us 21
So now you know end behavior, zeroes, and signs of intervals

Answer: If a vertical line can be drawn to touch the graph of a function in more than one place, then is NOT a function of . If it is not possible to draw a vertical line to touch the graph of a function in more than one place, then y is a function of x.
<span>2(a+b)=c
2a + 2b = c
2b = c - 2a
b = (c - 2a)/a
answer
</span><span>D. b = (c−2a)/2 ; distribute 2 to get 2a+2b, subtract 2a, then divide by 2.</span>
