(-4)^2-4(1)(5)
16-4(1)(5)
16-4(5)
16-20
-4
The discriminant is negative so there are no real number solutions.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the given description, PS is the mid segment of the 
Therefore by Mid-segment Theorem:
Answer:
2.8+.55x=5 x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
5-2.8=2.2
2.2/.55=4
You could do the question the way it is written, but it is far easier to bring the negative power up to the numerator.
y= x^2 - 3. The derivative of that is
dy/dx = 2x The three is a constant and is always dropped when a derivative is taken
d(-3)/dx = 0
If you are a purist and want to solve the question the way it is written, you could do it this way.
dy/dx = d(1)/dx x^-2 - d(x^-2)/dx * 1
======================
(x^-2)^2
dy/dx = - (-2 x^ - 3) / x^-4
dy/dx = 2 x^-3 * x^4
dy/dx = 2 x^(-3 + 4)
dy/dx = 2x ^ 1
dy/dx = 2x <<<<< answer
