Given f(x)=2x^2+3x-5 for what values of x is f(x) positive

The function f(x) is positive in the interval (-≠,-2.5) ∪ (1,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

This is a vertical parabola open upward (the leading coefficient is positive)

The vertex is a minimum

The coordinates of the vertex is the point (h,k)

step 1

Find the vertex of the quadratic function

Factor the leading coefficient 2

Complete the square

Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point (-\frac{3}{4},-\frac{49}{8})

step 2

Find the x-intercepts (values of x when the value of f(x) is equal to zero)

For f(x)=0

take the square root both sides

therefore

The function f(x) is negative in the interval (-2.5,1)

The function f(x) is positive in the interval (-≠,-2.5) ∪ (1,∞)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.

493 would be the correct answer
