He didn’t multiply the equation by 1/2 in the second part so it threw his whole answer off. Hope this helps

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) = x4 - 13x2 + 36

GREYUIT [131]

ANSWER

A. -3, -2, 2, and 3

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial function is,

$f(x) = {x}^{4} - 13 {x}^{2} + 36$

To find the real roots, we equate the function to zero to obtain;

${x}^{4} - 13 {x}^{2} + 36 = 0$

We can solve this equation as a quadratic equation in
${x}^{2}.$

Thus we rewrite the equation as,

$({x}^{2})^{2} - 13 {x}^{2} + 36 = 0$

We split the middle term to get,

$({x}^{2})^{2} - 9 {x}^{2} - 4 {x}^{2} + 36 = 0.$

We factor to get,

${x}^{2} ( {x}^{2} - 9) - 4( {x}^{2} - 9) = 0$

We factor to get,

$( {x}^{2} - 9)( {x}^{2} - 4) = 0$

Either

${x}^{2} - 9 = 0$
or

${x}^{2} - 4 = 0$

$x = \pm \sqrt{9} \: or \: x = \pm \sqrt{4}$
$x = \pm3 \: or \: x = \pm2$

$x=-3,-2,2,3$

The correct answer is A

Which value of x is in the solution set of -3X+8≥14? ) A. -3 B. -1 C. 0 D. 3

romanna [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x:

-3x + 8 ≥ 14

-3x ≥ 6

x ≤ -2

Notice the sign gets reversed when you divide or multiply by a negative number.

The only option less than -2 is -3, A.

Here's a tip: on multiple choice questions, sometimes it's faster to try each answer instead of solving the equation. This can save time on tests like the SAT or ACT.

Let's try it:

-3(-3) + 8 = 9 + 8 = 17

-3(-1) + 8 = 3 + 8 = 11

-3(0) + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8

-3(3) + 8 = -9 + 8 = -1

So you can see the answer is A.

Find the general expression for the slope of a line tangent to the curve of y=2x^2+4x at the point P(x,y) . Then find the slopes

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Complete Question

Find the general expression for the slope of a line tangent to the curve of y=2x^2+4x at the point P(x,y) . Then find the slopes for $x = 3$ and x=0.5. Sketch the curve and the tangent lines. What is the general expression for the slope of a line tangent to the curve of the function y=2x^2+4 at the point P(x,y) ?

Answer:

The generally expression for the slope of $y = 2x^2 + 4x$ is $y' = 4x +4$

The graph is shown on the first uploaded image

The generally expression for the slope of $y=2x^2+4$ is $y' = 4x$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The equation of the curve is $y = 2x^2 + 4x$

First we differentiate the equation

$y' = 4x +4$

Therefore the generally expression for the slope tangent to the curve $y=2x^2+4x$ is $y' = 4x +4$

The next step is to substitute for x = 3 and x = 0.5

So for $x_1 = 3$

$y' = 4(3) +4$

$y' =m_1= 16$

And for $x_2 = 0.5$

$y' = 4(0.5) +4$

$y' =m_2= 6$

Here m_1 and m_2 are slops of the curve

Next we obtain the coordinates of the tangent lines

So at $x_1 = 3$

$y_1 = 2(3)^2 + 4(3)$

$y_1 = 21$

So the coordinate for the first tangent line is

$(x_1 , y_1 ) = (3 , 21)$

At $x_2 = 0.5$

$y_2 = 2(0.5)^2 + 4(0.5)$

=> $y_2 = 2.5$

So the coordinate for the second tangent line is

$(x_2 , y_2 ) = (0.5 , 2.5)$

Next we obtain the equation for the tangent lines

So generally the slope is mathematically represented as

$m = \frac{y - y_1 }{x-x_1}$

For $(x_1 , y_1 ) = (-3 , 21)$ and $y' =m_1= 16$

$16 = \frac{y -21 }{x-3)}$

=> $y = 16x - 27$

For $(x_2 , y_2 ) = (0.5 , 2.5)$ and $y' =m_2= 6$

$6 = \frac{y -2.5 }{x-0.5}$

$y = 6x -0.5$

Generally the general expression for the slope of a line tangent to the curve of the function y=2x^2+4 at the point P(x,y) is mathematically evaluated by differentiating y=2x^2+4 as follows

$y' = 4x$
