$x^2-5x-1=0\\\\a=1;\ b=-5;\ c=-1\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=(-5)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-1)=25+4=29 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\therefore\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ \dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{5-\sqrt{29}}{2\cdot1}=\boxed{\dfrac{5-\sqrt{29}}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{5+\sqrt{29}}{2\cdot1}=\boxed{\dfrac{5+\sqrt{29}}{2}}$

Use the following graph of the function f(x) = −3x4 − x3 + 3x2 + x + 3 to answer this question: What is the average rate of chan

Alinara [238K]

the average rate of change is just the slope from (0,f(0)) to (1,f(1))

find f(0) and f(1)

$f(0)=-3(0)^4-(0)^3+3(0)^2+0+3=3$

$f(1)=-3(1)^4-(1)^3+3(1)^2+1+3=-3-1+3+1+3=3$

slope from (0,3) to (1,3) is rise/run=(3-3)/(0-1)=0/-1

the average rate of change from x=0 to x=1 for f(x) is 0

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,1) and (4,4)?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{8} x + \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

☆Remember: $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

☆Remember: Slope-intercept form -> y = mx + b

☆Now. We first need to find the slope.

$m = \frac{4 - 1}{4 - (- 4)} = \frac{3}{8}$

☆Now the y-intercept.

$y = mx + b \\ \\ 4 = \frac{3}{8} (4) + b \\ \\ 4 = \frac{3}{2} + b \\ \frac{ - \frac{ 3}{ 2} = - \frac{ 3}{ 2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{ \frac{5}{2} = b }$

Why is the absolute value of every number positive

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

because you can't get closer to 0 on the number line than 0 units away.

Step-by-step explanation:

it's like walking if the point is 3 foot in front of you and you walk to it once you get to it then even if you keep walking you can't go a negative number of feet away from it because the closest you can get is right on it.
