Calculus
The branch of mathematics that deals with the study of continuously changing quantities, with the use of limits and the differentiation and integration of functions of one or more variables, is called Calculus. Calculus analyzes aspects of change in processes or systems that can be modeled by functions. The English physicist, Isaac Newton, and the German mathematician, G. W. Leibniz, working independently, developed calculus during the 17th century.

You don't use a "formula" to multiply numbers. You just go ahead and multiply them.
X plus 8y equals 22 -8x-2y plus 10?
8x + 64y = 176
Add: 62y = 186 so y = 3 and x = -2
This assumes you mean "equals 10", not "plus 10"
What are the exact solutions of x2 equals 4 - 7x?
x2 = 4 - 7x
x2 + 7x - 4 = 0
Using the quadratic formula, x = 1/2*{-7 ± sqrt[72 - 4*1*(-4)]}
= 1/2*{-7 ± sqrt[49 + 16]}
= 1/2*{-7 ± sqrt[65]}
How do you factor-x2 plus 7x plus 18?
Factorising -x2 + 7x + 18:
(a - x)(x + b) = -x2 + (b - a)x + ab
so ab = 18, b - a = 7 giving a = 2, b = 9:
(2 - x)(x + 9)
2x plus 5y equals 10 find slop and y-intercept?
2x + 5y = 10
Subtract 2x from each side:
5y = -2x + 10
Divide each side by 5:
y = - (2/5)x + 2
Slop = - (2/5)
Y-intercept = 2
6 + 7x = -36
first, subtract 6 from both sides
7x = -42
then, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = -42/7
x = -6
to check, put -6 back into the original equation:
6 + (7 x -6) = -36
6 - 42 = -36
How do you solve y plus y equals 10?
You have to recognize that " y plus y " is the same as " 2y ".
This wouldn't be any problem if it was "house plus house" or "dog plus dog" ... you'd know
right away that it was "two houses" or "two dogs". But for some reason, a lot of people get
scared when they see " y plus y ", and totally freeze up.
y + y = 10
2y = 10
Divide each side by 2:
y = 5
How do you rewrite and solve for y 2x less than y plus 7?
your equation is this...
2x < y + 7
Now solve for y...
2x - 7 < y
Since you have two variable the most you can get out of (y) is the graph and the y-intercept.
the y-intercept is y > -7
0.25 * 5 = 1.25
It would have been quicker to use a calculator and you cannot be sure that I have got the correct answer!
What is the rational zeros for x3 plus x2-17x plus 15?
x3 + x2 - 17x + 15 = (x - 1)(x - 3)(x + 5).
Thus, the zeros are 1, 3, and -5.
All three zeros are rational.
What is 16x squared minus 12x plus 9?
It's a second degree trinomial in 'x'. Its numerical value depends on the value of 'x'.
========================================================================
The first contributor observed:
Very nice exercise with the quadratic formula. But it doesn't apply here.
The formula is used to solve a quadratic equation, but there's no equation
here ... the question doesn't say that the trinomial is equal to anything.
If the trinomial were equal to zero, then your application of the formula
is the way to solve it; but as it stands, there's nothing to solve.
Also BTW: (B2 - 4AC) < 0 doesn't mean no roots. It means a pair of imaginary
or complex conjugate roots. A quadratic equation alwayshas two roots, even
though they may be equal or imaginary.
How do you solve the problem x-5 equals 2x?
First, you have to know what 'solve' means, so you know what you're looking for.
'Solve' means find a number for 'x' that will make the problem a true statement
when you plug that number in wherever 'x' appears.
Here's how to find it. First, write the problem down and look at it:
x - 5 = 2x
Now subtract 'x' from each side:
-5 = x
And there you are.
Solution set for 4x2-6 equals 2x2?
Reading this as:
4x2-6=2x2
This implies that:
-6=-2x2
3=x2
x=sqrt(3) and x=-sqrt(3)
So x can equal plus or minus the square root of 3
X2 - 5X - 6 = 0
What two factor of - 6 add up to - 5 ??
(X + 1)(X - 6)
So,
X = - 1
