What's (-5, 3) reflected along x-axis

Whenever you reflect a point over the x axis, the x coordinate stays the same and the y coordinate is negated. In this case, the y coordinate which is 3 will be negated to become -3, and the x coordinate which is -5 will remain the same. Therefore, the new point is (-5,-3).

I hope this helps.

The rule for reflecting a point across the x-axis is <em>(x,-y)</em>. We then apply this rule to our given coordinate, giving us the new location of (-5,-3).

A gardener has 60 feet of fencing to keep

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

225 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we have in the question, we have 60 ft of fencing

To maximize the area, we will need to have a square

For a square, the length of all sides are equal

Let us call one of the sides s

Thus, from the perimeter of the square;

4s = 60

s = 60/4

s = 15 ft

The area is thus, the product of the side length of the square

15 * 15 = 225 ft^2

John and Tim are looking at the equation the square root of the quantity of 3 times x minus 4 equals square root of x . John say

IgorC [24]

The equation is
3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
where 'sqrt' is shorthand for 'square root'

Let's solve the equation. To do so, we square both sides. Then we get everything to one side
3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
(3x - 4)^2 = (sqrt(x))^2
9x^2 - 24x + 16 = x
9x^2 - 24x + 16-x = x-x
9x^2 - 25x + 16 = 0

Now use the quadratic formula. See the attached image for those steps.

After using the quadratic formula the two possible solutions are x = 1 or x = 16/9

We need to check each possible solution to see if it is extraneous or not.

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

Checking x = 1

3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
3*1 - 4 = sqrt(1)
3 - 4 = 1
-1 = 1

The final equation is false, so x = 1 is not a true solution

x = 1 is extraneous.

So far, John is correct; however, we need to see the nature of the possible solution x = 16/9

So let's check it
----------------------------

Checking x = 16/9

3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
3*(16/9) - 4 = sqrt(16/9)
48/9 - 4 = 4/3
16/3 - 4 = 4/3
16/3 - 12/3 = 4/3
(16 - 12)/3 = 4/3
4/3 = 4/3

The last equation is true, so x = 16/9 is a proper solution.

This solution is considered non-extraneous. So Tim is also correct
----------------------------

They are both correct because there are two possible solutions. One of which is extraneous (x = 1) and the other is non-extraneous (the fraction x = 16/9)
