Answer: $g(x)-f(x)=-2x-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parent functions : $f(x)=5x-1\text{ and }g(x)=3x-9$

Then ,

$g(x)-f(x)=3x-9-(5x-1)\\\\\Rightarrow g(x)-f(x)=3x-9-5x+1\ \ \text{[Open brackets]}\\\\\Rightarrow g(x)-f(x)=3x-5x-9+1\ \ \text{[Combine like terms]}\\\\\Rightarrow g(x)-f(x)=-2x-8$

Hence, for the given parent function f(x) and g(x), $g(x)-f(x)=-2x-8$

g(x) –f(x) = 3x –9 - (5x –1)
 g(x) –f(x) = 3x –9 - 5x + 1
g(x) –f(x) = -2x - 8

hope it helps

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers

Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the $x^2$ coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like $x^2+bx+c=0$ , then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

$b$ is the opposite of the sum of the roots
$c$ is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

$4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2$
$4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8$

So, the equation is $x^2-2x-8=0$

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

$\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}$
$\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}$

And so the equation is

$x^2 - \dfrac{5}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8} = 0$

In order to have integer coefficients, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:

$8x^2 - 10 + 3 = 0$

X²-10x+25=0 quadratic equation by factoring

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} - 10x + 25 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 5x - 5x + 25 = 0 \\ x(x - 5) - 5(x - 5) = 0 \\ (x - 5)(x - 5) = 0 \\ ( x- 5) = 0 \: or \: (x - 5) = 0 \\ x = 5 \: or \: x = 5 \\ x = 5$

Answer:

Wind speed

Another very old approach to measure wind speed is through the use of a pressure tube

Microbars per second

Earthquake intensity

The currently accepted method is the moment magnitude scale, which measures the total amount of energy released by the earthquake.

The Richter scale is used to determine the intensity of earthquakes

The sum of the square of the number and a second number is 42

AveGali [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x squared =42. The square of the number is the number square. By my incredibly accurate guess and check strategy (works most of the time )6*6 = 36+6=42
