X2 - 3x - 4 equals 0?
x2 - 3x - 4 = 0 so (x+1)(x-4) = 0, so x+1 = 0 and x-4 = 0, so x = -1 or 4
What x2 - x - 12 0?
x2 - x - 12 = 0 ∴ (x + 3)(x - 4) = 0 ∴ x ∈ {-3, 4}
Why derivative of mod x does not exist graphically?
Because mod(x) is not "smooth at x = 0.Suppose f(x) = mod(x). Then f'(x), if it existed, would be the limit, as dx tends to 0, of [f(x+dx) - f(x)]/dx= limit, as dx tends to o , of [mod(x+dx) - mod(x)]/dxWhen x = 0, this simplifies to mod(dx)/dxIf dx > 0 then f'(x) = -1andif dx < 0 then f'(x) = +1Consequently f'(0) does not exist and hence the derivative of mod(x) does not exist at x = 0.Graphically, it is because at x = 0 the graph is not smooth but has an angle.Because mod(x) is not "smooth at x = 0.Suppose f(x) = mod(x).

How do you solve x squared plus 12x?
Factor. X^2 + 12X X(X + 12) = 0 X = 0 ------------- X + 12 = 0 X = - 12 --------------
What is limit as x approaches 0 of sin squared x by x?
lim(x->0) of sin(x)^2/x we use L'Hospital's Rule and derive the top and the bottomd/dx(sin(x)^2/x)=2*sin(x)*cos(x)/1lim(x->0) of 2*sin(x)*cos(x)=2*0*1=0
