Sorry, the way you have written your problemm makes no sense. Re-post using ^ to indicate raising to a power, that is x^2 means and x^3 means , and so on. And when I say "re-post" I mean re-post on the site. Don't write back to me because I may not have time to get to you.

Extend the idea of the FOIL process for multiplying two binomials. In the end, ensure that each of the terms of the binomial factor have been multiplied by each of the terms of the trinomial factor once and once only per pair of terms. You should have 6 terms before you collect like terms.

Graphs/631406: 2x - 3y = -12
plotting at least three points

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier.

Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results.

Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y).

Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis.

Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x.

Step 6. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with yet a different value for x.

Step 7. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the three points that you plotted.

Error 1:



Error 2:

You don't change the signs and subtract, you subtract, which means you change the sign and add. Although you did end up with , clearly by fortuitous accident.

Error 3:



Then



You finish.

4" by 4" by x.

A rectangular solid has 6 sides. This one has 2 sides that are 4 by 4, each of which has an area of 16 square inches, so 2 times 16 is 32. Then the other 4 sides are 4 by x, each of which is 4x square inches so these 4 sides total 16x square inches. Once you figure out how much x is, then plug it in to 16x, and then add the result to 32.

WARNING! Danger, Will Robinson. Terminology Error! is NOT a horizontal asymptote. Horizontal asymptotes are horizontal, hence the name. Linear functions with a non-zero (2 is not zero) slope are NOT horizontal. Asymptotes that are slanted or oblique are called Slant Asymptotes or Oblique Asymptotes.

The fact that the function has zeros at -2 and 3 tells us that the factors of the numerator polynomial are , , and some constant (because all polynomial equations where is a polynomial with degree and have identical solution sets)

Hence, the numerator is

The fact that the function has a vertical asymptote of means that the denominator polynomial has a zero at , therefore the denominator polynomial must be .

If a rational function has a numerator that is one degree greater than the degree of the denominator, then the function will have a slant asymptote equal to the quotient of a polynomial long division of the numerator by the denominator.

Perform the polynomial long division of .

Your quotient will have a factor of in it, but if you set the quotient equal to the given slant asymptote , you will very quickly see the value of .

Then it is simply a matter of constructing your function from the derived numerator and denominator.

Go to Purple Math Polynomial Long Division if you need a refresher on polynomial long division.

There is no algebraic solution to this equation. You have to use numerical methods.

I used a graphing program and then ran some numbers through the function in Excel. I was able to come up with two intervals: [0.000005,0.000006] and [6,6.1] where the function changes sign from one end of the interval to the other. The Intermediate value theorem says there has to be a root on each of those intervals.

Then I used the Newton-Raphson method:

I first defined the function as



Then Newton-Raphson says



and then a closer approximation can be obtained from:



And you can repeat the process as often as you like to get the desired precision.

The derivative of is:

F is almost right, and is the nearest thing to a correct answer. What would make it correct would be the restriction that the two shadows, i.e. from the meterstick and the tree must be wholly contained in the slope. That is to say that your calculations will be off somewhat if the shadow of the tree reaches beyond the base of the hill and extends onto the presumably horizontal surface of the valley beneath the hill.
