In Art class, Mr. Jocelyn gave everyone a1 foot stick to measure and cut. Vivian measured and cut her stick into 5 equal pieces.

Scott measured and cut his into 7 equal pieces. Scott said to Vivian, "the total length of my stick is longer than yours because I have 7 pieces, and you only have 5" is that correct?

No. The more you cut, the less the one-piece length is. The pieces that Vivian has is less than Scott.

However, they all got a 1-foot stick. So, if you add them up you have an equal length.

Prove the theorem (AB )^T= B^T. A^T
Lisa [10]

Answer:

(AB)^T = B^T.A^T  (Proved)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  (AB )^T= B^T. A^T;

To prove this expression, we need to apply multiplication law, power law and division law of indices respectively, as shown below.

(AB)^T = B^T.A^T\\\\Start, from \ Right \ hand \ side\\\\B^T.A^T = \frac{B^T.A^T}{A^T}.\frac{B^T.A^T}{B^T} (multiply \ through) \\\\                = \frac{A^{2T}.B^{2T}}{A^T.B^T} \\\\=\frac{(AB)^{2T}}{(AB)^T} \ \ (factor \ out \ the power)\\\\= (AB)^{2T-T}  \ (apply \ division \ law \ of \ indices; \ \frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b})\\\\= (AB)^T \ (Proved)

1.) Determine the type of solutions for the function (Picture 1)
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

1) 2 nonreal complex roots

2) 1 Real Solution

3) 16

4) Reflected, narrower by a factor of 2/5, slides right 4 units and slides up 6 (units)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The graph does not intercept the x-axis, therefore, there are no real solutions at the point y = 0

We get;

y = a·x² + b·x + c

At y = 6, x = -2

Therefore;

6 = a·(-2)² - 2·b + c = 4·a - 2·b + c

6 = 4·a - 2·b + c...(1)

At y = 8, x = 0

8 = a·(0)² + b·0 + c

∴ c = 8...(2)

Similarly, we have;

At y = 8, x = -4

8 = a·(-4)² - 4·b + c = 16·a - 4·b + 8

16·a - 4·b = 0

∴ b = 16·a/4 = 4·a

b = 4·a...(3)

From equation (1), (2) and (3), we have;

6 = 4·a - 2·b + c

∴ 6 = b - 2·b + 8 = -b + 8

6 - 8 = -b

∴ -b = -2

b = 2

b = 4·a

∴ a = b/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

The equation is therefor;

y = (1/2)·x² + 2·x + 8

Solving we get;

x = (-2 ± √(2² - 4 × (1/2) × 8))/(2 × (1/2))

x =( -2 ± √(-12))/1 = -2 ± √(-12)

Therefore, we have;

2 nonreal complex roots

2) Give that the graph of the function touches the x-axis once, we have;

1 Real Solution

3) The given function is f(x) = 2·x² + 8·x + 6

The general form of the quadratic function is f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c

Comparing, we have;

a = 2, b = 8, c = 6

The discriminant of the function, D = b² - 4·a·c, therefore, for the function, we have;

D = 8² - 4 × 2 × 6 = 16

The discriminant of the function, D = 16

4.) The given function is g(x) = (-2/5)·(x - 4)² + 6

The parent function of a quadratic equation is y = x²

A vertical translation is given by the following equation;

y = f(x) + b

A horizontal to the right by 'a' translation is given by an equation of the form; y = f(x - a)

A vertical reflection is given by an equation of the form; y = -f(x) = -x²

A narrowing is given by an equation of the form; y = b·f(x), where b < 1

Therefore, the transformations of g(x) from the parent function are;

g(x) is a reflection of the parent function, with the graph of g(x) being narrower by 2/5 than the graph of the parent function. The graph of g(x) is shifted right by 4 units and is then slides up by 6 units.
