February 18, 2021Some help please, Mike?
x^2 – 12x +k = 0 In this equation, k is a constant. For which values of k does the equation have only one solution? I know I can set the discriminant to zero and solve for k. But is there another way to solve? Thanks!
Hi Mike, I don’t have a question, I just wanted to say thank you for your work.

January 27, 2021The lengths of the sides of a rectangle are a and b, where a > b The sum of the lengths of the two shorter sides and one of the longer sides of the rectangle is 36. What value of a maximizes the area of the rectangle?
A .9
B. 12
C. 18
D. 24
The answer is C. I suspect there is an easier way to solve than completing the square and finding the vertex of the resulting quadratic function. What is your most direct, easy to understand solution to this calculator-allowed question?

January 26, 2021g(x) = 1/5 (5)^(x+4)
For the given function g, which of the following equivalent forms shows the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the graph of y=g(x) in the xy-plane as a constant or coefficient?
A. g(x) = 125(5)^x
B. g(x) = 25(5)^(x+1)
C. g(x) = 5(5)^(x+2)
D. g(x) = (5)^(x+3)
Choice A is correct, but why?
