Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of the x^2 term is 1 and the constant term is -28. In order to factor this, we need to find factor pairs of 1 and -28 that will add together in some way to produce -3, the coefficient of the x term.

The factors of 1 are obviously just 1 and 1. The factors of -28 are (1, -28), (2, -14), (4, -7), (-4, 7), (-2, 14), and (-1, 28). Upon examination, we see that if we have the factor pairs (4, -7), from -28, and (1, 1), from 1, we can make -3:

4 * 1 + (-7) * 1 = 4 - 7 = -3

So, we know that our factors are: x + 4 and x + -7, or x - 7. Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!

#2) Use quotient rule
\frac{f'g - fg'}{g^2}
Remember for solving log equations:
e^{ln x} = x

#3) Derivative of tan = sec^2 = 1/cos^2
Domain of tan is [-pi/2, pi/2], only consider x values in that domain.

#4 Use Quotient rule

#9  Use double angle identity for tan
tan(2x) = \frac{2tan x}{1-tan^2 x}
This way you can rewrite tan(pi/2) in terms of tan(pi/4).
Next use L'hopitals rule, which says the limit of indeterminate form(0/0) equals limit of quotient of derivatives of top/bottom of fraction.

Take derivative of both top part and bottom part separately, then reevaluate the limit. <span />

IHELP if 1 out of 5 animals are cats then how many cats are there in an ecosystem of 200 animals???​
mote1985 [20]
There are 40 cats in the ecosystem.

You set 1/5 equal to x/200. Then you cross multiply the fractions to get 5x=200. You divide both terms by 5 to get x, which equals 40.
