Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

so convert the equation -x + y = 5 into slope intercept form by adding x to both sides

(-x + x) + y = 5 + x

0 + y = 5 + x

y = 5 + x

To match the slope intercept formula switch the x and 5 around

y = x + 5

If lines are parallel then they have the same slope (m) but they have different b

This means that the slope of the line will be 1 (in front of the x is an invisible 1 which would be m)

This is what we have so far...

y = x + b

Now we must find b

To do that you must plug in the point the line goes through in the x and y of the equation.

(2, -5)

-5 = 1(2) + b

-5 = 2 + b

-7 = b

y = x + (-7)

y = x - 7

Hope this helped!

USE y=mx+b

m=Slope

b= Y-intercept

So y=x-7

If there were 310 million people in the United States, what was the daily consumption rate in barrels per person in the United S

bija089 [108]

The daily consumption rate in the United States will be 10 barrels per person.

Your question is incomplete as you didn't provide the total barrels, therefore, an overview of the answer will be given. In their case, let's assume that the total barrels is given as 3.1 billion.

Therefore, the barrels per person will be:

= Total barrels / Population

= 3.1 billion / 310 million

= 10 barrels per person.

In conclusion, the correct option is 10 barrels per person.

The polynomial P(x) = 2x^3 + mx^2-5 leaves the same remainder when divided by (x-1) or (2x + 3). Find the value of m and the rem

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

m=7

Remainder =4

If q=1 then r=3 or r=-1.

If q=2 then r=3.

They are probably looking for q=1 and r=3 because the other combinations were used earlier in the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the remainders left when doing P divided by (x-1) and P divided by (2x+3) is R.

By remainder theorem we have that:

P(1)=R

P(-3/2)=R

$P(1)=2(1)^3+m(1)^2-5$

$=2+m-5=m-3$

$P(\frac{-3}{2})=2(\frac{-3}{2})^3+m(\frac{-3}{2})^2-5$

$=2(\frac{-27}{8})+m(\frac{9}{4})-5$

$=-\frac{27}{4}+\frac{9m}{4}-5$

$=\frac{-27+9m-20}{4}$

$=\frac{9m-47}{4}$

Both of these are equal to R.

$m-3=R$

$\frac{9m-47}{4}=R$

I'm going to substitute second R which is (9m-47)/4 in place of first R.

$m-3=\frac{9m-47}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 4:

$4(m-3)=9m-47$

Distribute:

$4m-12=9m-47$

Subtract 4m on both sides:

$-12=5m-47$

Add 47 on both sides:

$-12+47=5m$

Simplify left hand side:

$35=5m$

Divide both sides by 5:

$\frac{35}{5}=m$

$7=m$

So the value for m is 7.

$P(x)=2x^3+7x^2-5$

What is the remainder when dividing P by (x-1) or (2x+3)?

Well recall that we said m-3=R which means r=m-3=7-3=4.

So the remainder is 4 when dividing P by (x-1) or (2x+3).

Now P divided by (qx+r) will also give the same remainder R=4.

So by remainder theorem we have that P(-r/q)=4.

Let's plug this in:

$P(\frac{-r}{q})=2(\frac{-r}{q})^3+m(\frac{-r}{q})^2-5$

Let x=-r/q

This is equal to 4 so we have this equation:

$2u^3+7u^2-5=4$

Subtract 4 on both sides:

$2u^3+7u^2-9=0$

I see one obvious solution of 1.

I seen this because I see 2+7-9 is 0.

u=1 would do that.

Let's see if we can find any other real solutions.

Dividing:

1 | 2 7 0 -9

| 2 9 9

-----------------------

2 9 9 0

This gives us the quadratic equation to solve:

$2x^2+9x+9=0$

Compare this to $ax^2+bx+c=0$

$a=2$

$b=9$

$c=9$

Since the coefficient of $x^2$ is not 1, we have to find two numbers that multiply to be $ac$ and add up to be $b$ .

Those numbers are 6 and 3 because $6(3)=18=ac$ while $6+3=9=b$ .

So we are going to replace $bx$ or $9x$ with $6x+3x$ then factor by grouping:

$2x^2+6x+3x+9=0$

$(2x^2+6x)+(3x+9)=0$

$2x(x+3)+3(x+3)=0$

$(x+3)(2x+3)=0$

This means x+3=0 or 2x+3=0.

We need to solve both of these:

x+3=0

Subtract 3 on both sides:

x=-3

----

2x+3=0

Subtract 3 on both sides:

2x=-3

Divide both sides by 2:

x=-3/2

So the solutions to P(x)=4:

$x \in \{-3,\frac{-3}{2},1\}$

If x=-3 is a solution then (x+3) is a factor that you can divide P by to get remainder 4.

If x=-3/2 is a solution then (2x+3) is a factor that you can divide P by to get remainder 4.

If x=1 is a solution then (x-1) is a factor that you can divide P by to get remainder 4.

Compare (qx+r) to (x+3); we see one possibility for (q,r)=(1,3).

Compare (qx+r) to (2x+3); we see another possibility is (q,r)=(2,3).

Compare (qx+r) to (x-1); we see another possibility is (q,r)=(1,-1).

HELPP I NEED TO TURN THIS IN 5 Mins!!!!!

zaharov [31]

Answer:

3. The vertex form of the function, f(x) = x² - 4·x - 17 is f(x) = (x - 2)² - 21

4. The solutions are, x = -2 + √10 and x = -2 - √10

5. The quadratic equation with vertex (3, 1) and a = 1 in standard form is given as follows;

f(x) = x² - 6·x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

3. The function given in standard form is f(x) = x² - 4·x - 17, which is the form, f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c

The vertex form of the of a quadratic function can be presented based on the above standard form as follows;

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Where;

(h, k) = The coordinate of the vertex

h = -b/2a

k = f(h)

Comparing with the given equation, we have;

f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c = x² - 4·x - 17

a = 1

b = -4

c = -17

∴ h = -(-4)/(2 × 1) = 2

h = 2

k = f(h) = f(2) = 2² - 4 × 2 - 17 = -21

k = -21

The vertex form of the function, f(x) = x² - 4·x - 17 is therefore, given as follows;

f(x) = (x - 2)² - 21

4. The given equation for which we need to solve by completing the square is 2·x² + 8·x = 12

Dividing the given equation by 2 gives;

x² + 4·x = 6

Which is of the form, x² + b·x = c

Where;

a = 1

b = 4

c = 6

From which we add (b/2)² to both sides to get x² + b·x + (b/2)² = c + (b/2)²

Adding (b/2)² = (4/2)² to both sides of x² + 4·x = 6 gives;

x² + 4·x + 4 = 6 + 4

(x + 2)² = 10

x + 2 = ±√10

x = -2 ± √10

The solution are, x = -2 + √10 and x = -2 - √10

5. Given that the value of the vertex = (3, 1), and a = 1, we have;

The vertex, (h, k) = (3, 1)

h = 3, k = 1

Therefore, h = 3 = -b/(2 × a) = -b/(2 × 1)

∴ -b = 2 × 3 = 6

b = -6

k = f(h) = a·h² + b·h + c, by substitution, we have;

k = f(3) = 1 × 3² + (-6) × 3 + c = 1

∴ c = 1 - (1 × 3² + (-6) × 3) = 10

c = 10

The quadratic equation with vertex (3, 1) and a = 1 in standard form, f(x) a·x² + b·x + c is therefor;

f(x) = x² - 6·x + 10
