Solve for real x the equation x=6[(x-2)^1/2-1].

We have to solve the equation x = 6[(x-2)^1/2 – 1] x = 6[(x-2)^1/2 – 1] => x = 6*( x – 2)^1/2 – 6 => x + 6 = 6*( x – 2)^1/2 take the square of both the sides => x^2 + 36 + 12x = 36 ( x -…

What is the sum of extremes of the function f(x)=(x^2+3x-3)/(x-1) ?

We have to find the sum of the extremes of f(x) = (x^2 + 3x – 3) / (x-1). We have to differentiate f(x). f'(x) = [(x^2 + 3x – 3)’*(x – 1) – (x^2 + 3x – 3)*(x – 1)’]/(x – 1)^2 => [(2x + 3)(x – 1)…

Determine the points that are on the curves y=x^2+x+1 and y=-x^2-2x+6.

To determine the points that lie on both the curves y=x^2+x+1 and y=-x^2-2x+6, we have to equate the two. Doing this gives x^2 + x + 1 = -x^2 – 2x + 6 => x^2 + x^2 + x + 2x + 1 – 6 = 0 =>…
