F(x) = x² - 8x + 5
f(-1) = (-1)² - 8*(-1) + 5
= 1 + 8 + 5 = 14
f(-1) = 14.
Answer:
x=1332.5
Step-by-step explanation:
24x=(26)(1230)
24x=31980
divide both sides by 24
x=1332.5
The answer is −3.555555555555556 but you can just put -3.55
Answer: True.
The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ancient Greek mathematician <em>Euclid</em> who is known as inventor of geometry.
The Greeks could not do arithmetic. They had only whole numbers. They do not have zero and negative numbers.
Thus, Euclid and the another Greeks had the problem of finding the position of an angle bisector.
This lead to the constructions using compass and straightedge. Therefore, the straightedge has no markings. It is definitely not a graduated-rule.
As a substitute for using arithmetic, Euclid and the Greeks learnt to solve the problems graphically by drawing shapes .
For the red line, we have:
gradient (

) = 1/3
y-intercept = 3
Equation of straight line is given by

, where

is the gradient and

is where the line intercept the y-axis
So we have,

The shaded part is above the line, hence the first inequality is

The black line, we have
gradient,

= 3
y-intercept = -2


, rearranging gives

The shaded region is to the right of the line, hence the inequality is

Note: The first option should be the correct answer but the inequality sign for <span>y > 1/3x + 3 should be </span>
