Prove that (4x–5)^2 – 5x(3x – 8) is positive for all values of x.

To begin we need to simplify the expression. First we multiply out (4x–5)^2 to get 16x2+40x+25 and then we multiply out 5x(3x – 8) to get 15x2-40x. This makes the whole expression 16...

Find the values of x where the curve y = 8 -4x-2x^2 crosses the x-axis.

A curve crosses the x-axis when y=0, if we put that into the equation above we get the quadratic equation 0=8-4x-2x2. The solutions to this equation are the values of x where y=0, which is the ...
