Answer:
225/4
Step-by-step explanation:
x²– 15x – 23 = 0
To complete the square
We take to coefficient of the x term
-15
divide by 2
-15/2
Square it
225/4
Add it to each term
Change the function into vertex form:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
make a square by (adding half of -10)², which is 25, then subtract it:
f(x)=x²-10x+25-25+16
f(x)=(x-5)²-9
so the vertex is at (5,-9)
another way to do it:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
the vertex is when x=-
, b=-10, a=1 in this case.
x=-(-10/2*1)=5
plug x=5 into the quadratic function, you get f(x)=-9
I'm assuming you mean , not , like your prompt suggests.
First, let's figure out what rule we can use. A likely noticeable one is the Power Rule, which says the following:
Applying this, we can solve for the derivative:
While you can simplify the expression to your liking, I believe that this form is not overly complex and will thus leave it as is.
Thus, our answer is:
Answer:
8.28
You have to do 1.38 times 2 and then times 3
Rule: lines that are parallel have equal gradients.
Therefore y=-4/3x + b.
To find b, you must sub the point (6,2) into the equation y=-4/3x + b.
2= -4/3 x 6 + b
b=-10 (using algebra to solve)
Therefore y=-4/3x - 10.
