Part A. The technique on how to find the equation that only applies to point D and E, is to create a line or curve that only includes two of these points. In this case, I created a random parabola that isolates points C and F from the rest of the points. First, we have to find the equation of the parabola through its general forms:

(x - h)² = +/-4a(y-k)      or    (y - k)² = +/-4a(x - h)

For parabolas drawn like that in the picture, the general form is (x - h)² = +4a(y-k), where the vertex is (h,k) and a is the distance from the vertex to the focus. From the picture, the vertex is at (0,3). Then, we use point D(-2,4) to determine a:

(-2 - 0)² = +4a(4 - 3)
4a = 4

So, the equation of the parabola is:

x² = 4(y - 3)
x² = 4y - 12

Part B. Point D was already verified above. Now for point E(2,4)
x² = 4y - 12
2² ? 4(4) - 12
4 ? 4
4 = 4

Part C. For y < 7x − 4, ignore the equality symbol first and graph the line. Assign random values of x, then you get corresponding values of y. Plot them as shown in the second picture. The line is shown in red. Next, test the equation by choosing a random point. Let's choose the purple point at (4,3).

3 ? 7(4) − 4
3 ? 24
3 < 24

Thus, it applies to the purple point, and all the other areas to that area. The shaded region are all solutions of the inequality. So, Erica is only interested in points E, C and F.

Using the factoring process, what constant is added to the RIGHT side of the quadratic equation 2x2? 9x ___ = ?9 ___ in order to
IgorC [24]
Normally you would only solve by completing the square if a is 1 and b is even. But the answer would be half of b. So half of 9 is 4.5 or 4(1/2).

Solve for x on the interval 0≤x&lt;2pi<br><br> cos(3x)=1/2
Ede4ka [16]

We will see that the solution in the given interval is: x = 0.349 radians.

<h3>How to solve equations with the variable in the argument of a cosine?</h3>

We want to solve:

cos(3*x) = 1/2

Here we must use the inverse cosine function, Acos(x). Remember that:

cos(Acos(x)) = Acos(cos(x)) = x.

If we apply that in both sides, we get:

Acos( cos(3x) ) = Acos(1/2)

3*x = Acos(1/2)

x = Acos(1/2)/3 = 0.349

So x is equal to 0.349 radians, which belongs to the given interval.

Simplify the following polynomial and write the answer in standard form. (9-2x^3+5^2-4x+5) - (-2x^3+2x-3)
pogonyaev
If I am reading the question correctly it would come out to -6x+42  First do all the addition and squaring, then factor in that negative.  You come out to -2x^3 +2x^3-4x-2x+25+5+9+3.  The x^3's cancel, the -x's add to -6x, then all that other adds to 42.

Which equation represent two less than a number is equal to 10
Rainbow [258]
For this question, we can make the number equal to n. Since two less than it is equal to ten, we know that we are dealing with subtraction. In addition, we know that doing something to n makes it equal to 10. And that something is subtracting two from it. that means that the equation that represents this scenario is n - 2 = 10.
