Dovator [93]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A:  2x² - 3x - 5

    (2x - 5)(x + 1)

B:  Set the factored equation equal to zero and solve for x.

(2x - 5)(x + 1) = 0

2x - 5 = 0

2x = 5

x = 5/2

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

The x-intercepts are 5/2 and -1

C)  To find the end behavior, you need to look at the term in the unfactored equation with the highest exponential number.  For this equation, that is 2x².  Since the exponent is positive,  both ends of the graph will point in the same direction.  Because the leading coefficent is positive, the graph will point upwards.  The end behavior of the graph is that as the x-values approach both ∞ and -∞, the function approaches ∞.

D)  Since we know that the x-intercepts are 5/2 and -1, you can plot these points.  You also know that the graph will be in an upward U shape.  Plug in  a couple x-values and plot them to make the graphing of the equation more accurate.

An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has three sides of the same length. the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 48.6
aleksklad [387]
We know that a triangle has three sides, all the same length (its equilateral, after all)

The equation to find the length of each side is

Perimeter divided by 3

or in this case

48.6 divided by 3=16.2cm (don't forget the unit)

Hope that helps :)

Write the equation of the line which passes through the points (-2,6) and (3, 1).
belka [17]

Answer:

y = - x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = change in y/change in x

1-6/3--2= -5/5 = -1

y= -x + c

1=-3+c

c=4

equation of line =

y= -x + 4
