Which equation represents the line passing through the points (3, 2) and (–9, 6)?

1 answer:

4 0

(3,2),(-9,6)
slope = (6 - 2) / (-9 - 3) = -4/12 = -1/3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
use either of ur points...(3,2)....x = 3 and y = 2
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
2 = -1/3(3) + b
2 = -1 + b
2 + 1 = b
3 = b
so ur equation is : y = -1/3x + 3 <==

Identify the polygon with vertices A(5,0), B(2,4), C(−2,1), and D(1,−3), and then find the perimeter and area of the polygon. HE

inn [45]

Answer:

Part 1) The polygon is a square

Part 2) The perimeter is equal to $20\ units$

Part 3) The area is equal to $25\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$A(5,0), B(2,4), C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

Plot the points

see the attached figure

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Find the distance AB

$A(5,0),B(2,4)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(2-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AB=5\ units$

Find the distance BC

$B(2,4), C(-2,1)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$BC=5\ units$

Find the distance CD

$C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$CD=5\ units$

Find the distance AD

$A(5,0),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(1-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AD=5\ units$

we have that

AB=BC=CD=AD

Find the distance BD (diagonal)

$B(2,4),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-4)^{2}+(1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$BD=\sqrt{50}\ units$

Verify if the polygon is a square

If the triangle BDA is a right triangle, then the polygon is a square

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$BD^{2}=AD^{2}+AB^{2}$

substitute

$(\sqrt{50})^{2}=5^{2}+5^{2}$

$50=50$ -----> is true

The triangle BDA is a right triangle

therefore

The polygon is a square

Find the Area of the polygon

The area of a square is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$A=5^{2}=25\ units^{2}$

Find the perimeter of the polygon

The perimeter of a square is equal to

$P=4b$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$P=4(5)=20\ units$

$\sqrt[8]{48^4}$ can be rewritten as $48^4$ to the $\frac{1}{8}$ power:

$(48^4)^ \frac{1}{8}$

Now, applying exponent rules (multiply exponent inside parentheses by the one outside parentheses), we get:

$(48^ \frac{1}{2})$

This is equivalent to $\sqrt{48}$ , so now, we just simplify:

$\sqrt{48}= \sqrt{16*3}= \sqrt{16}* \sqrt{3}=4 \sqrt{3}$

So:

$\sqrt[8]{48^4} =4 \sqrt{3}$

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation 4x^2=x^3+2x?

irina [24]

Next time, please share the answer choices.
Starting from scratch, it's possible to find the roots:

4x^2=x^3+2x should be rearranged in descending order by powers of x:

x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x = 0. Factoring out x: x(x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0

Clearly, one root is 0. We must now find the roots of (x^2 - 4x + 2):

Here we could learn a lot by graphing. The graph of y = x^2 - 4x + 2 never touches the x-axis, which tells us that (x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0 has no real roots other than x=0. You could also apply the quadratic formula here; if you do, you'll find that the discriminant is negative, meaning that you have two complex, unequal roots.
