If the coefient in front of the squared term is positive, it opens to the right or up
if it is in front of x^2, it opens up
if it is in front of y^2, it opens right

opens to the right

Answer:

The parabola opens right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola is $x=6y^2$

The equation of the horizontal parabola is $x=ay^2$

If a >0 then the parabola open right
And if a<0 then the parabola opens left.

For the given parabola, the value of a is 6, which is greater than zero.

Hence, the parabola opens right.

We can see it from the attached graph also. The vertex of the parabola is at origin and opens right.

Is this a function??

Blizzard [7]

Yes this is a function because the definition of a function is if the x doesn’t repeat and we can test this with the vertical line test that states that if you put an imaginary line where the points are the x shouldn’t repeat in this case this is true as the x doesn’t repeat

Please give me the answer

Answer:

37°

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Therefore,

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180°

In the given picture two angles are given and we have to find out the third angle.

x° + 45° + 98° = 180°

x° + 143° = 180°

x° = 180° - 143°

x° = 37°

The value of x in the triangle shown is 37°.

Show that p(x)=2x3−5x2−10x+5 has a real root.

FromTheMoon [43]

Let's pick an arbitrary value of 5.

$P(5) = 2(5)^{3} - 5(5)^{2} - 10(5) + 5$
$= 2(125) - 125 - 50 + 5$
$= 250 - 125 - 50 + 5$
$= 80 > 0$

Let's pick another arbitrary value: 1

$P(1) = 2 - 5 - 10 + 5$
$= -8 < 0$

Between these two values, the polynomial is continuous. This means for the two polynomial points to be satisfied, there must be at least one root between these two points.

We can either use the Intermediate Value Theorem or Newton's method to make a better approximation from there.
