a positive real number is 2 more than another. if the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 14, find the numbers

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number. Then the sum of squares is ...

  x² +(x+2)² = 14

  2x² +4x +4 = 14 . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x² +4x -10 = 0 . . . put in standard form

  x² +2x -5 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2 (because we can)

  (x +1)² -6 = 0 . . . . . complete the square

  x +1 = √6  . . .   we want the positive root

  x = -1 +√6

  x+2 = 1 +√6

The numbers are √6±1.

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

answer: 80,000

step-by-step explanation:

the population doubles every day.

10,000*2=20,000 day 4

20,000*2=40,000 day 5

40,000*2=80,000 day 6
