Answer:
You cannot simplify this problem down anymore; it is at its simplest form.
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot add together x^4 and x^2 due to the simple fact that they do not share similar exponents.
For example you could add together x^4 and x^4 to get 2x^4. But you cannot add x^4 and x^2.
Answer:
p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)
q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = a (x − x₁) (x − x₂)
Expand:
y = a (x² − x₁x − x₂x + x₁x₂)
y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + x₁x₂)
Distribute a to the first two terms:
y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x) + ax₁x₂
Complete the square:
y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + ¼(x₁ + x₂)²) + ax₁x₂ − ¼ a(x₁ + x₂)²
y = a (x − ½ (x₁ + x₂))² + a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
Therefore:
p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)
q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
1) Draw the coordinate plane
2) Draw the line y = - 2
It is a line parallel to the y axis, two units below the origin
3) The solution (graph of the inequality y < - 2) is all the area below the line y = - 2.
The average speed for the trip is 11 miles per hour, or mph. 99 miles divided by 9 is 11
