Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the solution to

2x^2 + x -1 =0

x^2+ (1/2)x -(1/2)

are a and b

Hence a + b = -(1/2) ( minus the coefficient of x )

ab = -1/2 (the constant)

A. We want to have an equation where the roots are a +5 and b+5.

Therefore the sum of the roots is (a+5) + (b+5) = a+ b +10 =(-1/2) + 10 =19/2.

The product is (a+5)(b+5) =ab + 5(a+b) + 25 = (-1/2) + 5(-1/2) + 25 = 22.

So the equation is

x^2-(19/2)x + 22 =0

2x^2-19x + 44 =0

B. We want the roots to be 3a and 3b.

Hence (3a) + (3b) = 3(a+b) = 3(-1/2) =-3/2 and

(3a)(3b) = 9(ab) =9(-1/2)=-9/2.

So the equation is

x^2 +(3/2) x -9/2 = 0

2x^2 + 3x -9 =0.

Evaluate the function f (x)= x squared -4x+1 at the given values of the independent variable and simplify.
Ivan
<h3>Given</h3>

... f(x) = x² -4x +1

<h3>Find</h3>

... a) f(-8)

... b) f(x+9)

... c) f(-x)

<h3>Solution</h3>

In each case, put the function argument where x is, then simplify.

a) f(-8) = (-8)² -4(-8) +1 = 64 +32 + 1 = 97

b) f(x+9) = (x+9)² -4(x+9) +1

... = x² +18x +81 -4x -36 +1

... f(x+9) = x² +14x +46

c) f(-x) = (-x)² -4(-x) +1

... f(-x) = x² +4x +1
