For each sentence below, find the value of x that makes each sentence true.

vitfil [10]

<u>ANSWER</u>

1. $x=\frac{1}{2}$

2. $x=1$

<u>QUESTION 1</u>

The first sentence is $(5^{\frac{1}{5}})^5=25^x$ .

Recall that;

$(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$

We simplify the left hand side by applying this property to get;

$5^{\frac{1}{5}\times 5}=25^x$ .

$\Rightarrow 5^{1}=25^x$ .

We now rewrite the right hand side too in an index form to obtain;

$\Rightarrow 5^{1}=5^{2x}$

We now equate the exponents to get;

$\Rightarrow 1=2x$ .

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=x$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}$ .

<u>QUESTION 2</u>

The second sentence is $(8^{\frac{1}{3}})^2=4^x$

We simplify the left hand side first to get;

$(2^{3\times \frac{1}{3}})^2=4^x$

$2^2=4^x$

We now rewrite the left hand side too in index form to obtain;

$2^2=2^{2x}$

We equate the exponents to get;

$2=2x$

This implies that;

$1=x$

or

$x=1$

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Lunna [17]

NOTES:

Given a quadratic function in standard format (y = ax² + bx + c), the direction of the parabola is as follows:

if "a" is positive, then opens UP
if "a" is negative, then opens DOWN

Given a quadratic function in standard format (y = ax² + bx + c), the vertex can be found as follows:

the Axis Of Symmetry (x-value) is: x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$
y-value is found by plugging in the AOS for "x" in the equation

****************************************************************************************

1) y = x² + 11x + 24

a = +1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-11}{2(1)}$ = $-\frac{11}{2}$

y = $(-\frac{11}{2})^{2}$ + 11 $(-\frac{11}{2} )$ + 24 = $-\frac{25}{4}$

vertex $(-\frac{11}{2}$ , $-\frac{25}{4})$ is in Quadrant 3 and is below the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-3, 0) and (-8, 0), and y-intercept (0, 24)

******************************************************************************************

2) y = -x² - 6x - 8

a = -1 so the parabola opens DOWN

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-(-6)}{2(-1)}$ = $\frac{6}{-2}$ = -3

y = -(-3)² - 6(-3) - 8 = -9 + 18 - 8 = 1

vertex (-3, 1) is in Quadrant 2 and is above the x-axis

This could NOT be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-2, 0) and (-4, 0), and y-intercept (0, -8)

******************************************************************************************

3) y = x² - 2x + 3

a = 1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-(-2)}{2(1)}$ = $\frac{2}{2}$ = 1

y = (1)² - 2(1) + 3 = 1 - 2 + 3 = 2

vertex (1, 2) is in Quadrant 1 and is above the x-axis

This could NOT be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, y-intercept (0, 3), and its mirror image (2, 3). <em>There are no x-intercepts</em>

******************************************************************************************

4) y = x² + 4x + 4

a = 1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-4}{2(1)}$ = -2

y = (-2)² + 4(-2) + 4 = 4 - 8 + 4 = 0

vertex (-2, 0) is in Quadrant 2 and is on the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, y-intercept (0, 4), and its mirror image (-4, 4). <em>The x-intercept is the vertex.</em>

Compared to the other four graphs, this is most likely the equation for the rain gauge!

******************************************************************************************

5) y = 3x² + 21x + 30

a = +3 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-21}{2(3)}$ = $-\frac{7}{2}$

y = 3 $(-\frac{7}{2})^{2}$ + 21 $(-\frac{7}{2} )$ + 30 = $-\frac{27}{4}$

vertex $(-\frac{7}{2}$ , $-\frac{27}{4})$ is in Quadrant 3 and is below the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-2, 0) and (-5, 0), and y-intercept (0, 30)

40 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST<br><br> Which function rule describes the pattern in the table?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

y= -x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=ax+b

x= -2; y=0 => 0=-2a+b; b=2a

x= -1; y= -1 => -1=-a+b => b=a-1

2a=a-1=> a= -1; b= -2

=> y= -x-2
