I believe the answer is B. because the dashed line in the middle of your triangle shows the height, and the only side that is perpendicular to the dashed line, is the one b = 20
Answer:
a. Problem A > Problem B
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem A:
f(x) = x3 + 5
f(-2) = (-2)3 + 5
f(-2) = (-6) + 5
f(-2) = -1
Problem B:
f(x) = x2 - 2
f(-2) = (-2)2 - 2
f(-2) = (-4) - 2
f(-2) = -6
so you were earning say "x", so "x" is the 100% of your paycheck.
but you're da bomb and so you got a raise of 5%, so the new amount of your paycheck is 100% + 5%, so is 105% really, and we happen to know that is $100.
Answer:
x = sqrt(433/64) - 7/8 and x = -sqrt(433/64) - 7/8 So there are two. Let me know if there's something you don't understand.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to get them into the form where just y is on one side.
5-y=x^2+x
-y=x^2+x-5
y = -x^2 - x + 5
y+1 = 3/4x
y = 3/4x - 1
Let me know if you don't get how I did that.
To find where they intersect you just set them equal to each other and solve for x.
-x^2 - x + 5 = 3/4x - 1
Before you go solving you are going to want to avoid multiplying and dividing. Especially dividing here. if you divide something by (x-a) you make it so a cannot be used. take 1 for instance. graphing 1 is just a horizontal line at y=1. If you divide it by (x-a) in particular lets say (x-1) if you try and solve for x=1 you get 1/0 and you can't divide by 0. If you graph it on a calculator or computer you'll see the graph doesn't exist at x=1 either.
So yeah, no multiplying or dividing. So we turn this into a quadratic.
-x^2 - x + 5 = 3/4x - 1
-x + 5 = x^2 + 3/4x - 1
5 = x^2 + 7/4x - 1
0 = x^2 + 7/4x - 6
There are a few ways to solve but I am going to complete the square. If you don't understand how to solve it let me know and I will more specifically walk through it.
(x + 7/8)^2 - 433/64 = 0
(x + 7/8)^2 = 433/64
x + 7/8 = +/- sqrt(433/64)
x = +/- sqrt(433/64) - 7/8
So there are two answers here. Positive sqrt(433/64) - 7/8 and negative sqrt(433/64) - 7/8 Or approximately 1.726 and -3.476 respectively. To check try plugging these into the original two functions y = -x^2 - x + 5 and y = 3/4x-1 and make sure they give the same answer.
Let me know again if there's something you don't get. When oing intersections though you set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x however you can.
Answer:
I'm kind of confused what the question is asking. If they are asking for an expression to represent JL then the answer is 14x -32. If they want to know the distance between J and L then the answer is 66
Step-by-step explanation:
First I set the 2 equations equal to each other (5x-2 = 9x -30) and solved this to get x =7. (ANSWER ONE)
Next I plugged 7 into one of the equations (in this case either one will work bc JK and KL are the same distance. so I plugged 7 into the first one ( 5(7) -2 ) and I got 33. This means the distance of JK (and KL since they are equal) is 33.
Next I multiplied 33 by 2 since JL is JK and KL combined ( JK and KL are both 33 and therefore adding them together (multiplying 33×2) will give you the length of JL) and I got 66 (ANSWER 2)
Sorry if this is super confusing
