Part 1.1· 3 steps

Determine the xx-intercepts of the quadratic equation: 2x2−5x+3=02x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0

  1. Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

    For 2x2−5x+3=02x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0, we have a=2a=2, b=−5b=-5, and c=3c=3.

  2. Use the quadratic formula to find the values of xx.

    The quadratic formula is x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

  3. Substitute the values of aa, bb, and cc into the formula and simplify.

    x=−(−5)±(−5)2−4(2)(3)2(2)x = \frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4(2)(3)}}{2(2)} x=5±25−244x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 24}}{4} x=5±14x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{1}}{4} x=5±14x = \frac{5 \pm 1}{4}

    This gives two possible values for xx:

    x1=5+14=64=32x_1 = \frac{5 + 1}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} x2=5−14=44=1x_2 = \frac{5 - 1}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1

    The xx-intercepts are where y=0y=0, so the points are (32,0)(\frac{3}{2}, 0) and (1,0)(1, 0).

    The xx-intercepts are x=32 or x=1\boxed{x = \frac{3}{2} \text{ or } x = 1}.

Part 1.2

[−6,∞)[-6, \infty)

Determine the domain of the function: f(x)=x+6−2f(x) = \sqrt{x+6} - 2

  1. For a square root function, the expression under the square root must be greater than or equal to zero.

    In this function, the expression under the square root is x+6x+6.

  2. Set up the inequality.

    x+6≥0x+6 \ge 0
  3. Solve the inequality for xx.

    x≥−6x \ge -6
  4. Express the domain in interval notation.

    The domain is all real numbers greater than or equal to −6-6.

    The domain is [−6,∞)\boxed{[-6, \infty)}.
