If Q is the midpoint of PR, and PQ = 2x + 3 and QR = 3x– 2, find x, PQ, QR, and PR.

1 answer:

Since they tell us that Q is the midpoint you now understand that the line is split evenly.
PQ=QR
2x+3=3x-2
2x+5=3x
x=5.

If f(x) =4x2 - 8x - 20 and g(x) = 2x + a, find the value of a so that the y-intercept of the graph of the composite function (fo

Answer:

The possible values are a = -2.5 or a = 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite function:

The composite function of f(x) and g(x) is given by:

$(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))$

In this case:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 20$

$g(x) = 2x + a$

$(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(2x + a) = 4(2x + a)^2 - 8(2x + a) - 20 = 4(4x^2 + 4ax + a^2) - 16x - 8a - 20 = 16x^2 + 16ax + 4a^2 - 16x - 8a - 20 = 16x^2 +(16a-16)x + 4a^2 - 8a - 20$

Value of a so that the y-intercept of the graph of the composite function (fog)(x) is (0, 25).

This means that when $x = 0, f(g(x)) = 25$ . So

$4a^2 - 8a - 20 = 25$

$4a^2 - 8a - 45 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation, by Bhaskara:

$\Delta = (-8)^2 - 4(4)(-45) = 784$

$x_{1} = \frac{-(-8) + \sqrt{784}}{2*(4)} = \frac{36}{8} = 4.5$

$x_{2} = \frac{-(-8) - \sqrt{784}}{2*(4)} = -\frac{20}{8} = -2.5$

The possible values are a = -2.5 or a = 4.5.

-1 + 14x = 12x + 17 Whats the answer ? what is x

Finger [1]

Answer:

x= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the terms -> -1=14x = -12x + 16

Find out the sum -> 2x=17+1

Divide both by the equation by two -> 2x=18 x=9

Final answer: x=9
