I need some help with this rational equation. It's supposed to = -1, but for some strange reason I keep getting x^2 +2x = -1.

This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !

You're totally correct, as far you went.     x² + 2x does = -1

Now add ' 1 ' to each side:     x² + 2x + 1 = 0

Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?

Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.

                                       x² + 2x + 1  =  (x + 1)²

So the solutions of     x² + 2x + 1 = 0  are both   x = -1 .

Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.

____ [38]
(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
  = (x^3 -2x+6) - (2x^3+3x^2-4x+2)
  = x^3 -2x +6 -2x^3 -3x^2 +4x -2 . . . . distribute the negative sign
  = (1-2)x^3 -3x^2 +(-2+4)x +(6-2) . . . . . combine like terms

(f-g)(x) = -x^3 -3x^2 +2x +4

ANSWER

D. rotation, translation, reflection

EXPLANATION

Dilation is not a rigid motion.

When the triangle is dilated the image triangle may become bigger ( magnification) or smaller (reduction).

When the scale factor is negative 1, a congruent triangle is obtained.

Hence dilation will not always produce a congruent triangle.

Rotation, reflection and translation are rigid motions and hence will always produce a congruent triangle.

Write an equation of the line passing through the points (3,8) and (-2,-22)
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

y=6x+8 or y=6x-22

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

to find the slope use the equation m = y2-y1 over x2-x1

-22 - 8 / -2 - 3 = -30 / -5 = 6

6 is your slope and for the y-intercept you can choose whichever y-intercept to put into the equation.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
