The function f(x) = g(x), where f(x) = 2x – 5 and g(x) = x2 – 6.

Answer:

x=2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solving Equations Using Successive Approximations</u>

We need to find the solution to the equation

f(x)=g(x)

where

f(x)=2x-5

g(x)=x^2-6

The approximation has been already started and reached a state for x=2.5 where

f(2.5)=0

g(2.5)=2.5^2-6=0.25

The difference between the results is 0.25, we need further steps to reach a good solution (to the nearest tenth)

Let's test for x=2.4

f(2.4)=-0.2

g(2.4)=2.4^2-6=-0.24

The new difference is -0.2+0.24=0.04

It's accurate enough, thus the solution is

\boxed{x=2.4}

FinnZ [79.3K]
So, you have a triangular a-frame. The height is 20 feet, and the area is 600 square feet. The area of a triangle is represented by this equation:

\frac{1}{2} *b*h

Where:
- b is the base length
- h is the height

So, basically just plug things in:

8090 [49]

Answer:

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -11 + 8x

f(-1) =-11 + 8(-1)

     = -11 -8

      = -19

Rewrite the quadratic function in vertex form.<br> Y=2x^2+4x-1
Fantom [35]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=2(x+1)^2-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of an equation of a parabola:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

(h, k) - vertex

We have

y=2x^2+4x-1=2\left(x^2+2x-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

We must use the formula: (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)

2\left(x^2+2(x)(1)-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=2\bigg(\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(1)+1^2}_{(*)}-1^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)\\\\=2\left((x+1)^2-1-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=2\left((x+1)^2-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)

Use the distributive formula a(b + c) = ab + ac

2(x+1)^2+2\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=2(x+1)^2-3
