The solution:

(1): "q2" was replaced by "q^2".

Step by step solution :

STEP
1
:
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1 Factoring q2-4q-12

The first term is, q2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -4q its coefficient is -4 .
The last term, "the constant", is -12

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -12 = -12

Step-2 : Find two factors of -12 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -4 .

-12 + 1 = -11
-6 + 2 = -4 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and 2
q2 - 6q + 2q - 12

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
q • (q-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (q-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(q+2) • (q-6)
Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step
1
:

(q + 2) • (q - 6) = 0
STEP
2
:
Theory - Roots of a product

2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : q+2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation :
q = -2

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.3 Solve : q-6 = 0

Add 6 to both sides of the equation :
q = 6

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly

Solving q2-4q-12 = 0 directly
Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula

Parabola, Finding the Vertex:

3.1 Find the Vertex of y = q2-4q-12

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.

For any parabola,Aq2+Bq+C,the q -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the q coordinate is 2.0000

Plugging into the parabola formula 2.0000 for q we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 1.0 * 2.00 * 2.00 - 4.0 * 2.00 - 12.0
or y = -16.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for : y = q2-4q-12
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {q}={ 2.00}
Vertex at {q,y} = { 2.00,-16.00}
q -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {q,y} = {-2.00, 0.00}
Root 2 at {q,y} = { 6.00, 0.00}

Answer:

\bold{p(q) = q^2 4q- 12 }  \\  \bold{p( - 1) =  {( - 1)}^{2} \times 4 \times ( - 1) - 12} \\  = \bold {1 \times ( - 4) - 12} \\  \bold{  = ( - 4) - 12} \\  \bold{ p( - 1)=  - 16}

In the diagram below, assume that all points are given in rectangular coordinates. Determine the polar coordinates for each poin
Korolek [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have cartisean points. We are trying to find polar points.

We can find r by applying the pythagorean theorem to the x value and y values.

r  {}^{2} =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}

And to find theta, notice how a right triangle is created if we draw the base(the x value) and the height(y value). We also just found our r( hypotenuse) so ignore that. We know the opposite side and the adjacent side originally. so we can use the tangent function.

\tan(x)  =  \frac{y}{x}

Remeber since we are trying to find the angle measure, use inverse tan function

\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{y}{x} )  =

Answers For 2,5

{2}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  =  \sqrt{29}  = 5.4

So r=sqr root of 29

\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{5}{2} )  = 68

So the answer is (sqr root of 29,68).

For -3,3

{ -3 }^{2}  +  {3}^{2}  =  \sqrt{18}  = 3 \sqrt{2}

\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{3}{ - 3} )  =  - 45

Use the identity

\tan(x)  =  \tan(x + \pi)

So that means

\tan(x)  = 135

So our points are

(3 times sqr root of 2, 135)

For 5,-3.5

{5}^{2}  +  {3.5}^{2}  =  \sqrt{37.25}

\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{ - 3.5}{ - 5} )  = 35

So our points are (sqr root of 37.25, 35)

For (0,-5.4)

{0}^{2}  +  { - 5.4}^{2}  = \sqrt{}  29.16 = 5.4

So r=5.4

\tan {}^{ - 1}  (0)  = undefined

So our points are (5.4, undefined)

You would like to make a nutritious meal of eggs, edamame, and elbow macaroni. The meal should provide at least 40 g of carbohyd
Virty [35]

Answer:

Lets denote

1. eggs as x,

2. edamame as y

3. elbow macaroni as z

The problem then is

min TC=2x+5y+3z

subject to

2x+12y+43z \geq40\\17x+12y+8z\geq20\\14x+6y+z\leq50\\x\geq0\\y\geq0\\z\geq0

Step-by-step explanation:

First the objective is to minimize total cost subject to some nutritional requirements.

So the total cost function (TC) is the number of servings multiplied for the corresponding costs. Eggs cost 2, edamame 5, and macaroni 3

Next we have to meet the nutritional requirements, the first of the restrictions is the protein restriction. The problem requires that the meal contains at least 40g of carbohydrates (that is why the restriction is \geq 40). Then we add how much each meal component adds to the total, eggs add 2g of carbs, edamame 12g, and macaroni 43g.

Same for protein, we need at least 20 grams of protein (\geq 20). Eggs add 17g, edamame adds 12g, and macaroni adds 8g.

Finally we don't want more than 50 grams of fat (\leq50). Eggs add 14g, edamame add 6g and macaroni 1g.

Finally, we add the non negativity restrictions-> we cannot buy negative quantities of these goods, but we allow for zero.
