You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sqrt%283x%2B4%29-sqrt%282x%2B1%29=1 Start with the given equation


sqrt%283x%2B4%29=1%2Bsqrt%282x%2B1%29 Add sqrt%282x%2B1%29 to both sides


sqrt%283x%2B4%29=1%2Bsqrt%282x%2B1%29 Add sqrt%282x%2B1%29 to both sides


3x%2B4=%281%2Bsqrt%282x%2B1%29%29%5E2 Square both sides


3x%2B4=1%2B2%2Asqrt%282x%2B1%29%2B2x%2B1 Foil the right side


3x%2B4=2%2Asqrt%282x%2B1%29%2B2x%2B2 Combine like terms


3x%2B4-2x-2=2%2Asqrt%282x%2B1%29 Subtract 2x from both sides. Subtract 2 from both sides.

x%2B2=2%2Asqrt%282x%2B1%29 Combine like terms


%28x%2B2%29%5E2=4%2A%282x%2B1%29 Square both sides


x%5E2%2B4x%2B4=4%2A%282x%2B1%29 Foil the left side


x%5E2%2B4x%2B4=8x%2B4 Distribute


x%5E2%2B4x%2B4-8x-4=0 Subtract 8x from both sides. Subtract 4 from both sides.


x%5E2-4x=0 Combine like terms


x%28x-4%29=0 Factor the left side



Now set each factor equal to zero:
x=0 or x-4=0

x=0 or x=4 Now solve for x in each case


So our answers are

x=0 or x=4

Answer 99273 by jim_thompson5910(28598) About Me  on 2008-04-06 14:43:55 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%2B2=root%283%2C12x%2B2%29 Start with the given equation


%28x%2B2%29%5E3=12x%2B2 Cube both sides


x%5E3%2B6x%5E2%2B12x%2B8=12x%2B2 Expand the left side



x%5E3%2B6x%5E2%2B12x%2B8-12x-2=0 Subtract 12x from both sides. Subtract 2 from both sides.


x%5E3%2B6x%5E2%2B6=0 Combine like terms


So from a graphing calculator, we find that the solution to x%5E3%2B6x%5E2%2B6=0 is x=-6.15821

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's graph y=%283x%5E2%2B13x%2B4%29%2F%28x%2B6%29

+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-60%2C+60%2C+-60%2C+60%2C+%283x%5E2%2B13x%2B4%29%2F%28x%2B6%29%29+



So we can see that everything to the right of x=-6 is in the solution set. So part of our solution is x%3E-6



%283x%5E2%2B13x%2B4%29%2F%28x%2B6%29%3E0 Start with the given inequality

3x%5E2%2B13x%2B4=0 Set the numerator equal to zero



%28x%2B4%29%283x%2B1%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
x%2B4=0 or 3x%2B1=0

x=-4 or x=-1%2F3 Now solve for x in each case


So the critical values are

x=-4 or x=-1%2F3




Now plot the critical values on a number line

number_line%28+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-4%2C-1%2F3+%29



So let's evaluate a point that is to the left of (which is the left most endpoint). Let's evaluate the value x=-5

Answer 99254 by jim_thompson5910(28598) About Me  on 2008-04-06 13:57:19 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, let's find the vertical asymptotes

x%5E2-6x-16=0 Stet the denominator equal to zero


%28x-8%29%28x%2B2%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
x-8=0 or x%2B2=0

x=8 or x=-2 Now solve for x in each case


So the vertical asymptotes are

x=-2 or x=8


This means that the critical values are x=-2 and x=8



So let's test a value that is to the left of x=-2



7%2F%28x%5E2-6x-16%29%3C=0 Start with the given inequality



7%2F%28%28-3%29%5E2-6%28-3%29-16%29%3C=0 Plug in x=-3


7%2F%2811%29%3C=0 Simplify


Since 7%2F%2811%29%3C=0 is false, this means that the interval does not work

------------------------------------

So let's test a value that is in between x=-2 and x=8



7%2F%28x%5E2-6x-16%29%3C=0 Start with the given inequality



7%2F%28%280%29%5E2-6%280%29-16%29%3C=0 Plug in x=0


-7%2F16%3C=0 Simplify


Since -7%2F16%3C=0 is true, this means that the part of the solution set is []


-------------------------------

Finally, let's test a point that is to the right of x=8



7%2F%28x%5E2-6x-16%29%3C=0 Start with the given inequality



7%2F%28%2810%29%5E2-6%2810%29-16%29%3C=0 Plug in x=10


7%2F24%3C=0 Simplify


Since 7%2F%2824%29%3C=0 is false, this means that the interval does not work



----------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution in interval notation is []

Start with the given system

x%5E2%2By%5E2=16
x%5E2-2y=8


x%5E2=8%2B2y Isolate x%5E2 for the second equation

8%2B2y%2By%5E2=16 Plug in x%5E2=8%2B2y into the first equation

x%5E2=8%2B2x Start with the given equation

x%5E2=8%2B2%282%29 Plug in y=2


x%5E2=12 Simplify

x=0%2B-sqrt%2812%29 Take the square root of both sides

x=2%2Asqrt%283%29 or x=-2%2Asqrt%283%29


So our next ordered pairs are (2%2Asqrt%283%29,2) or (-2%2Asqrt%283%29,2)

Start with the given system
y=12x-19

y=x%5E2%2B5x-7



12x-19=x%5E2%2B5x-7 Set the two equations equal to one another



0=x%5E2%2B5x-7-12x%2B19 Subtract 12x from both sides. Add 19 to both sides.



0=x%5E2-7x%2B12 Combine like terms


%28x-4%29%28x-3%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
x-4=0 or x-3=0

x=4 or x=3 Now solve for x in each case


So our x values are

x=4 or x=3



y=12x-19 Start with the first equation

y=12%284%29-19 Plug in x=4

y=29 Simplify


So the first ordered pair is (4,29)



-------------


y=12x-19 Start with the first equation

y=12%283%29-19 Plug in x=3

y=17 Simplify


So the second ordered pair is (3,17)

First, let's find the vertical asymptote

x%2B3=0 Set the denominator equal to 0


x=-3 Solve for x


So the vertical asymptote is x=-3. If we graph, we can see that the vertical asymptote is a critical value. So from the graph, we can see that anything to the left of x=-3 is not in the interval. So this means that one part of the solution is x%3E-3



+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%284x-5%29%2F%28x%2B3%29%29+


Start with the given inequality


Multiply both sides by x%2B3


Distribute


Subtract 3x from both sides


Add 5 to both sides



So another part of the solution is x%3C14

3x-4y=8 Start with the given equation


-4y=8-3x Subtract 3+x from both sides


-4y=-3x%2B8 Rearrange the equation


y=%28-3x%2B8%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4


y=%28-3%2F-4%29x%2B%288%29%2F%28-4%29 Break up the fraction


y=%283%2F4%29x-2 Reduce




Looking at y=%283%2F4%29x-2 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=3%2F4 and the y-intercept is b=-2


Since b=-2 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is 3%2F4, this means:

rise%2Frun=3%2F4


which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 4. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 4



So starting at , go up 3 units


and to the right 4 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=%283%2F4%29x-2

So this is the graph of y=%283%2F4%29x-2 through the points and

You have the correct steps.

All that you need to do is solve for x in x%5E2-2x%2B10


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for x:


Starting with the general quadratic

ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0

the general solution using the quadratic equation is:

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29



So lets solve x%5E2-2%2Ax%2B10=0 ( notice a=1, b=-2, and c=10)




x+=+%28--2+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-2%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A10+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29 Plug in a=1, b=-2, and c=10



x+=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-2%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A10+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29 Negate -2 to get 2



x+=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+4-4%2A1%2A10+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29 Square -2 to get 4 (note: remember when you square -2, you must square the negative as well. This is because %28-2%29%5E2=-2%2A-2=4.)



x+=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+4%2B-40+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29 Multiply -4%2A10%2A1 to get -40



x+=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+-36+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29 Combine like terms in the radicand (everything under the square root)



x+=+%282+%2B-+6%2Ai%29%2F%282%2A1%29 Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)



x+=+%282+%2B-+6%2Ai%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2



After simplifying, the quadratic has roots of

x=1+%2B+3%2Ai or x=1+-+3%2Ai



So the remaining zeros are

x=1+%2B+3%2Ai or x=1+-+3%2Ai

-3%284x%2B3%29%2B4%286x%2B1%29=43 Start with the given equation



-12x-9%2B24x%2B4=43 Distribute


12x-5=43 Combine like terms on the left side


12x=43%2B5Add 5 to both sides


12x=48 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%2848%29%2F%2812%29 Divide both sides by 12 to isolate x



x=4 Divide

2x-3=5x%2B4 Start with the given equation



2x=5x%2B4%2B3Add 3 to both sides


2x-5x=4%2B3 Subtract 5x from both sides


-3x=4%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side


-3x=7 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%287%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x



x=-7%2F3 Reduce

Looking at 14x%5E2-53x%2B14 we can see that the first term is 14x%5E2 and the last term is 14 where the coefficients are 14 and 14 respectively.

Now multiply the first coefficient 14 and the last coefficient 14 to get 196. Now what two numbers multiply to 196 and add to the middle coefficient -53? Let's list all of the factors of 196:



Factors of 196:
1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98

-1,-2,-4,-7,-14,-28,-49,-98 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations

These factors pair up and multiply to 196
1*196
2*98
4*49
7*28
14*14
(-1)*(-196)
(-2)*(-98)
(-4)*(-49)
(-7)*(-28)
(-14)*(-14)

note: remember two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number


Now which of these pairs add to -53? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to -53

First NumberSecond NumberSum
11961+196=197
2982+98=100
4494+49=53
7287+28=35
141414+14=28
-1-196-1+(-196)=-197
-2-98-2+(-98)=-100
-4-49-4+(-49)=-53
-7-28-7+(-28)=-35
-14-14-14+(-14)=-28



From this list we can see that -4 and -49 add up to -53 and multiply to 196


Now looking at the expression 14x%5E2-53x%2B14, replace -53x with -4x%2B-49x (notice -4x%2B-49x adds up to -53x. So it is equivalent to -53x)

14x%5E2%2Bhighlight%28-4x%2B-49x%29%2B14


Now let's factor 14x%5E2-4x-49x%2B14 by grouping:


%2814x%5E2-4x%29%2B%28-49x%2B14%29 Group like terms


2x%287x-2%29-7%287x-2%29 Factor out the GCF of 2x out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of -7 out of the second group


%282x-7%29%287x-2%29 Since we have a common term of 7x-2, we can combine like terms

So 14x%5E2-4x-49x%2B14 factors to %282x-7%29%287x-2%29


So this also means that 14x%5E2-53x%2B14 factors to %282x-7%29%287x-2%29 (since 14x%5E2-53x%2B14 is equivalent to 14x%5E2-4x-49x%2B14)



------------------------------------------------------------



Answer:
So 14x%5E2-53x%2B14 factors to %282x-7%29%287x-2%29
