The discriminant for a quadratic polynomial of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c is given by b^2 - 4ac. If the discriminant is strictly greater than 2, the quadratic has 2 real distinct roots, i.e 2 unique x-...

Le mie vacanze di Natale non sono state particolarmente emozionanti. Alla mia famiglia piace rispettare le tradizioni, quindi ho passato la vigilia coi miei nonni paterni e il giorno di natale con la nonn...

Step 1: To find the points of intersection, we must find where the y and x values are equal. Therefore 5-x=x²-3x+2 where the y-values are equal.

Step 2: Rearrange the above into the quad...

This answer is easiest explained using the whiteboard in the interview. The question is basically asking for algebraic long division, we know (x+3) is a factor and are tasked with finding the other 2. We ...

(Much easier to explain in conversation and with drawings): But, 

An application of the quotient rule, stating that for f(x)=a(x)/b(x), f'(x) = a'(x)b(x) - a(x)b'(x) all over [b(x))]^2 Here, a(x) =...
