Find the length of the second base of a trapzoid with one base measuring 12 feet a height of 4 feet and a area of 58 square feet

1 answer:

6 0

Equation:
b1+b2 x h / 2 = 58
12+ b2 x 4 / 2 = 58
12+b2 x 4 = 116
12 + b2 = 29
b2 = 17 feet is the length of the second base

Y=-x^2+6x-4 Find the Axis of Symmetry and the Vertex, Also solve the whole equation.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

1. Axis of symmetry: x = 3

2. Vertex: (3,5)

3. Solution of the equation:

x-intercepts:

$(3-\sqrt{5},0) \\\\(3+\sqrt{5},0)$

y-intercept: (0, -4)

Explanation:

1. Equation:

$y=-x^2+6x-4$

2. Axis of symmetry:

That is the equation of a parabola, whose standard form is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Where:

$a=-1;b=6;c=-4$

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line with equation:

$x=-b/2a$

Substitute $a=-1,\text{ and }b=6$

$x=-6/[(2)(-1)]=-6/(-2)=3$

Thus, the axis of symmetry is:

$x=3$

3. Vertex

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to the axys of symmetry, i.e x = 3.

To find the y-xoordinate, substitute this value of x into the equation for y:

$y=-x^2+6x-4\\\\y=-(3)^2+6(3)-4=-9+18-4=5$

Therefore, the vertex is (3, 5)

4. Find the x-intercepts

The x-intercepts are the roots of the equation, which are the points wher y = 0.

$y=-x^2+6x-4=0$

Use the quadratic equation:

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\\\x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(-1)(-4)} }{2(-1)}\\\\x_1=3-\sqrt{5} \\\\x_2=3+\sqrt{5}$

5. Find the y-intercept

The y-intercet is the value of y when x=0:

$y=-x^2+6x-4\\\\y=-(0)^2+6(0)-4=-4$

Which is the graph of the sequence defined by the function f(x + 1) = Three-fifthsf(x) when the first term in the sequence is 37

nadezda [96]

Answer: On a coordinate plane, 4 points are plotted. The points are (1, 375), (2, 225), (3, 135), (4, 81).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the relation:

f(x + 1) = (3/5)*f(x)

such that the first term is 375

Then:

f(1) = 375.

Using the above relation, we have that:

f(1 + 1) = f(2) = (3/5)*f(1) = (3/5)*375 = 225

Then we have the pair (2, 225)

The next term is:

f(2 + 1) = f(3) = (3/5)*f(2) = (3/5)*225 = 135

Then we have the pair (3, 135)

the next term is:

f(3 + 1) = f(4) = (3/5)*f(3) = (3/5)*135 = 81

Then we have the pair (3, 81)

Then the correct option is the first one; On a coordinate plane, 4 points are plotted. The points are (1, 375), (2, 225), (3, 135), (4, 81).

4(x-4)-3x=10 what is the answer

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x-4)-3x=10

Rule = a(b + c) = ab + ac
Rule = a(b - c) = ab - ac

4(x-4) = 4x - 16

4(x-4)-3x=10

4x - 16 - 3x = 10

x - 16 = 10

x -16 +16 = 10 +16

x = 26

Hope this helps ^-^
