3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = number

x³ - x² = 2x

x³- x² - 2x = 0

x(x² - x - 2) = 0

x(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 0, 2

the only positive solution is the number 2

Increase of 10
5 x 2 = 10

75 - 12 = 63
63 + 10 = 73

Change = 2 inches (75 - 73)

A cable hangs between two poles of equal height and 35 feet apart. At a point on the ground directly under the cable and x feet

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

293.38 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Distance between poles=35 feet

$h(x)=10+0.1(x^{1.5})$

Weight of cable=10.4 per linear foot

We have to find the weight of the cable.

Differentiate w.r.t

$h'(x)=0.1(1.5)x^{0.5}=0.15x^{0.5}$

$s=2\int_{0}^{17.5}\sqrt{1+(h'(x))^2}dx$

$s=2\int_{0}^{17.5}\sqrt{1+(0.15x^{0.5})^2}dx$

$s=2\int_{0}^{17.5}\sqrt{1+0.0225x}dx$

Let $1+0.0225x=t$

$dx=\frac{1}{0.0225}dt$

$s=\frac{2}{0.0225}\int_{0}^{17.5}\sqrt{t}dt$

$s=\frac{2}{0.0225}\times\frac{2}{3}[t^{\frac{3}{2}}]^{17.5}_{0}$

$s=2\times \frac{2}{3\times0.0225}[(1+0.0255x)^{\frac{3}{2}]^{17.5}_{0}$

$s=\frac{4}{3\times 0.0225}((1+0.0225(17.5))^{\frac{3}{2}-1)$

s=28.21

Weight of cable= $28.21\times 10.4=293.38$ pound

Which expression represents the factored form of 6x^{2}-13x-5?

Leni [432]

Answer:(2x - 5)(3x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2 - 13x - 5

6x^2 + 2x - 15x - 5

2x (3x + 1) - 5 (3x + 1)

(2x - 5)(3x + 1)
