ARITH. PROGRESSION

1st term  =x,
2nd term =x², So the common difference d = x² - x

at the same time they are giving d=12, then: x² - x = 12
 x² - x + 12 =0, solving it gives: x' =6 & x" = - 2
for x= - 2, then  PA => -8, 4, 16 (d=12) ==> 3rd term = 16
& for x=6, then PA ==> 24, 36. 48, (d=12) etc 3rd term = 48

both are correct

4X,X^2,_
Common difference=12
second term - first term=12
X^2-4x=12
subtract 12 from both sides
X^2-4X-12=12-12
X^2-4X-12=0
now its a quadratic equation, so use either factor method or quadratic formula,
X^2-6X-2X-12=0
take common
x(X-6)-2(x-6)=0
x-2)(x-6)=0
so x is either 2 or 6 
now use them to find the third term

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Graph A → y=√x.

Graph B → y=(√x) - 1.

Graph C → y=√(x-1).

Graph D → y= -√x.

Graph E → y= -√(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph 'A' intercepts the y-axis at (0, 0). Therefore it belongs to the function y=√x.

The graph 'D' is exactly the same graph 'A' but reflected across the x-axis. Therefore, it belongs to the function y=-√x.

The function 'C' is exactly the same function y=√x but translated one unit to the right, therefore, the solution function is y=√(x-1)

The graph 'E' is exactly the same graph 'C' but reflected across the x-axis, therefore the function is: y= -√(x-1)

In the options you have two times the function y=√x. I assume that's a mistake. The graph 'B' corresponds to y = (√x) - 1

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point(-6,-5) and has a slope of -1/2
zvonat [6]

Answer:

y=-1/2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-5)=-1/2(x-(-6))

y+5=-1/2(x+6)

y=-1/2x-6/2-5

y=-1/2x-3-5

y=-1/2x-8
