Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x2 + -9x + -3 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + -9x + x2 = 0

Solving

-3 + -9x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + -9x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 3 + -9x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + -9x + x2 = 0 + 3

-9x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

-9x + x2 = 3

The x term is -9x.  Take half its coefficient (-4.5).

Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.

-9x + 20.25 + x2 = 3 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:

20.25 + -9x + x2 = 3 + 20.25

Combine like terms: 3 + 20.25 = 23.25

20.25 + -9x + x2 = 23.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:

(x + -4.5)(x + -4.5) = 23.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.82182538

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting

(x + -4.5) equal to 4.82182538 and -4.82182538.

Subproblem 1

x + -4.5 = 4.82182538

Simplifying

x + -4.5 = 4.82182538

Reorder the terms:

-4.5 + x = 4.82182538

Solving

-4.5 + x = 4.82182538

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4.5' to each side of the equation.

-4.5 + 4.5 + x = 4.82182538 + 4.5

Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0

0.0 + x = 4.82182538 + 4.5

x = 4.82182538 + 4.5

Combine like terms: 4.82182538 + 4.5 = 9.32182538

x = 9.32182538

Simplifying

x = 9.32182538

Subproblem 2

x + -4.5 = -4.82182538

Simplifying

x + -4.5 = -4.82182538

Reorder the terms:

-4.5 + x = -4.82182538

Solving

-4.5 + x = -4.82182538

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4.5' to each side of the equation.

-4.5 + 4.5 + x = -4.82182538 + 4.5

Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0

0.0 + x = -4.82182538 + 4.5

x = -4.82182538 + 4.5

Combine like terms: -4.82182538 + 4.5 = -0.32182538

x = -0.32182538

Simplifying

x = -0.32182538

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions

from the subproblems.

x = {9.32182538, -0.32182538}

Answer:

I can anwser the fist part but im not sure what you mean by hunt for twice the larger root. But by completing the square your overall end result by rounding to the hundreths place would be x= (8.65, 0.35)

What would the domain and range of this graph be? In interval form, if it can be.
skad [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the x values.  The interval of x-values that the function encompasses are from 0 inclusive to 7 exclusive.  In interval notation that is [0, 7).  The range is the y values.  The interval of y-values that the function encompasses are from what looks like -2 to 4.  In interval notation that is [-2, 4].  The domain goes from the lowest x-value to the highest; the range goes from the lowest y-value to the highest.

If the length of a rectangle in terms of x is x^2+2x-3 and its width is 2x^2+3x+5, what is the perimeter of this rectangle?
AnnZ [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter=(L+W)2

L=x^2+2x-3

W=2x^2+3x+5

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

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

(3x^2+5x+2)2

p=(6x^2+10x+4)units

If (x + 8) is a factor of f(x), which of the following must be true?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

  • f(-8) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x+8) is a factor of f(x), then for some expression p, we have ...

  f(x) = (x+8)p

Evaluated at x=-8, this gives ...

  f(-8) = (-8+8)p = 0p

  f(-8) = 0 . . . . must be true

_____

Similarly, f(8) = (8+8)p = 16p. This may or may not be zero, depending on the factors of p. The only offered statement that <em>must</em> be true is the one shown above.
