In order to solve for x, we need to get the variables on the same side of the equation.
5.9x - 4.2 = 9.4x + 3.3
-4.2 = 3.5x + 3.3
-7.5 = 3.5x
x = -2.14

Answer:

-2.14 or -15/7

Step-by-step explanation:

5.9x - 4.2 = 9.4x + 3.3

[combine like terms]

[when going across the equation, + becomes -, vice versa]

-4.2 - 3.3 = 9.4x - 5.9x

-7.5 = 3.5x

[isolate x]

[when going across the equation, * becomes /, vice versa]

-7.5 / 3.5 = x

-2.14 = x [decimal]

-15/7 = x [fractional]

How many times does the graph of the function below interect or touch the x-axis? y=-2x^2+3x+5
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Two times at (-1,0) and (2.5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the graph intersects or touches x-axis, y is equal to 0

so y = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

=> 0 = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

so a = -2

    b = 3

    c = 5

substitute in the formula

x = [-3 +/- √(3^2 - 4x-2x5)]/2(-2)

x = [-3 +/- √(9 + 40)]/(-4)

x = [-3 +/- 7]/(-4)

x1 = (-3 + 7)/(-4) = 4/-4 = -1

x2 = (-3 - 7)/(-4) = -10/-4 = 5/2 = 2.5

so the graph has two x-intercepts (-1,0) and (2.5,0), therefore it intersects x-axis two times
