Answer:

-x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x-(2x + 3)

=> x-1(2x + 3)

=> x - 2x - 3

=> -x - 3

Therefore, this is the solution. Hoped this helped.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-(2x+3)

Notice that we can't further simplify the things in the bracket so we should multiply by -1

Technically this is like:

x - 1(2x+3)

-1 times 2x = -2x , -1 times 3 is -3

= x - 2x - 3

= -x - 3

3. The curve C with equation y=f(x) is such that, dy/dx = 3x^2 + 4x +k

Andreas93 [3]

a. Given that y = f(x) and f(0) = -2, by the fundamental theorem of calculus we have

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 + 4x + k \implies y = f(0) + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt$

Evaluate the integral to solve for y :

$\displaystyle y = -2 + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt$

$\displaystyle y = -2 + (t^3+2t^2+kt)\bigg|_0^x$

$\displaystyle y = x^3+2x^2+kx - 2$

Use the other known value, f(2) = 18, to solve for k :

$18 = 2^3 + 2\times2^2+2k - 2 \implies \boxed{k = 2}$

Then the curve C has equation

$\boxed{y = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2}$

b. Any tangent to the curve C at a point (a, f(a)) has slope equal to the derivative of y at that point:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=a} = 3a^2 + 4a + 2$

The slope of the given tangent line $y=x-2$ is 1. Solve for a :

$3a^2 + 4a + 2 = 1 \implies 3a^2 + 4a + 1 = (3a+1)(a+1)=0 \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ or }a = -1$

so we know there exists a tangent to C with slope 1. When x = -1/3, we have y = f(-1/3) = -67/27; when x = -1, we have y = f(-1) = -3. This means the tangent line must meet C at either (-1/3, -67/27) or (-1, -3).

Decide which of these points is correct:

$x - 2 = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2 \implies x^3 + 2x^2 + x = x(x+1)^2=0 \implies x=0 \text{ or } x = -1$

So, the point of contact between the tangent line and C is (-1, -3).

A rectangles length is 2 meters greater than its width if the e perimeter is greater than 112 what is the rectangles possible wi

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L +W)

Given L = W + 2 and the perimeter is greater than 112 meters?

P rect < 2(L +W) L = W + 2

P rect < 2(W + 2 +W)

< 2(2W+2)

112 < 4W + 4 solve for W

(112 - 4)/4 < (4W +4 - 4)/4

108/4 < (4W + 0)/4

27 < W

the width has to be greater than 27 meters
