Answer:
y=1/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
step1 Isolate the square root on the left hand side
Original equation
√2x-5-4 = -x
Isolate
√2x-5 = 4-x
step2 eliminate the radical on the left hand side
Raise both sides to the second power
(√2x-5)2 = (4-x)2
After squaring
2x-5 = x2-8x+16
step3 Solve the quadratic equation
Rearranged equation
x2 - 10x + 21 = 0
This equation has two rational roots:
{x1, x2}={7, 3}
step4 Check that the first solution is correct
Original equation, root isolated
√2x-5 = 4-x
Plug in 7 for x
√2•(7)-5 = 4-(7)
Simplify
√9 = -3
Solution does not check
3 ≠ -3
step5 Check that the second solution is correct
Original equation, root isolated
√2x-5 = 4-x
Plug in 3 for x
√2•(3)-5 = 4-(3)
Simplify
√1 = 1
Solution checks !!
Solution is:
x = 3
Answer:
The decimal form of the equation is y = 2.5x + 10
The equivalent fraction form is y = (5/2)x + 10 because 5/2 = 2.5
===========================================================
Explanation:
We can pick any two columns from the table to form the two points needed.
I'll pick the first two columns
(1, 12.5)
(2, 15)
Then apply the slope formula to those points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (15-12.5)/(2-1)
m = (2.5)/(1)
m = 2.5
Now use that slope with either point mentioned to find the y intercept b.
y = mx+b
12.5 = 2.5*1 + b
12.5 = 2.5 + b
12.5 - 2.5 = b
10 = b
b = 10
Or
y = mx+b
15 = 2.5*2+b
15 = 5+b
15-5 = b
10 = b
b = 10
We end up with the same b value.
We found that m = 2.5 is the slope and b = 10 is the y intercept
Therefore we go from y = mx+b to y = 2.5x + 10
This is the same as saying y = (5/2)x + 10 since 2.5 = 5/2
