What are the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation 0=1/2x^2-3x-2

leva [86]

Answer:

function : 2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a function cant have any overlapping points on the x axis, if you can draw a line up and down (vertical) and it hits two points then it isn’t a function

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STatiana [176]

Considering High School level question, answer can be written as:

A system of 2 linear equations is [two] dimensional. It is a graph of [two] lines. The solutions can be [unique] solution if the graph intersects. [No] solution if the lines are parallel - meaning they have the same slope, or [Infinitely many] solutions if they are the same line.

Explanation:

when two lines are drawn on a two-dimensional plane then there are only three possible cases:

Case1: lines will intersect

In that case you will get a unique solution at the intersection point.

Case2: lines are parallel but don't touch each other

In that case there will be no point which lies on both lines so No solution.

Case3: lines are overlapping.

In that case all the points lies on both lines so infinitely many solutions.

3x + 1 = 5X-13 if anyone knows what to do can they please help

Elza [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you look at the equation. Identify the locations of variable terms (both sides of the equal sign) and the constant terms (both sides of the equal sign).

If there are any parentheses, it is a good idea to use the distributive property to eliminate them. Here, there are none.

I like to start by subtracting the variable term with the smallest coefficient. Here, that is 3x, so we add -3x to both sides of the equation.

3x -3x +1 = 5x -3x -13

1 = 2x -13 . . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

Now, we have the only variable term on one side of the equal sign. We want it by itself, so we need to make the -13 go away. We do that by adding its opposite to both sides of the equation:

1 +13 = 2x -13 +13

14 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

Finally, we want the coefficient of 2 in the x-term to disappear. We make that happen by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/2, the reciprocal of that coefficient.

(1/2)(14) = (1/2)(2x)

7 = x . . . . the solution

__

It is generally a good idea to check your work by seeing if your solution value satisfies the equation:

3(7) +1 = 5(7) -13 . . . . put 7 where x is in the original equation

21 +1 = 35 -13

22 = 22 . . . . . . x = 7 is the solution

_____

Additional comment

By subtracting 3x from 5x, the result is 2x with a positive coefficient. We could solve the equation just as easily by subtracting 5x from 3x. That result would be ...

-2x +1 = -13

Subtracting 1 would give

-2x = -14

and you would multiply by -1/2 to get x=7. I personally like to avoid having this many minus signs show up in the problem. That is why I choose to subtract the x-term with the smallest coefficient.

Help asap will give brainliest!!!!

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

ley y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = $\frac{1}{x+5}$ - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

y + 1 = $\frac{1}{x+5}$ ( multiply both sides by (x + 5)

(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ← expand factors using FOIL

xy + 5y + x + 5 = 1 , that is

xy + x + 5y + 5 = 1 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms on left side )

x(y + 1) + 5(y + 1) = 1 ← factor out (y + 1) from each term on left side

(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ( divide both sides by (y + 1) )

x + 5 = $\frac{1}{y+1}$ ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = $\frac{1}{y+1}$ - 5

Change y back into terms of x with x = $f^{-1}$ (x) , then

$f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{1}{x+1}$ - 5 where x ≠ - 1

The taxi fare in Metropolis is $3.75 for the first mile and additional mileage charged at the rate of $0.30 for each additional

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Total charge

=

$

4.25

+

$

1.50

(

m

−

1

)

Total charge for 12 miles

=

$

20.75

Explanation:

Building the rule

The trick with algebra is to think what you would do with numbers, then substitute letters.

Mile number 1 costs

$

4.25

The rest of the miles

⇒

(

total miles

−

1

)

×

$

1.50

Putting this all together we have:

$

4.25

+

(

total miles

−

1

)

×

$

1.50

The question instructs that we are to use the letter m for the total miles so we now have:

$

4.25

+

(

m

−

1

)

×

$

1.50

This would be written as:

$

4.25

+

$

1.50

(

m

−

1

)

So

Total charge

=

$

4.25

+

$

1.50

(

m

−

1

)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Determine the charge for 12 miles

Total charge

=

$

4.25

+

$

1.50

(

12

−

1

)

Total charge

=

$

4.25

+

$

1.50

(

11

)

Total charge for 12 miles

=

$

4.25

+

$

16.50

=

$

20.75

Hope this helps you...
