The value of the exterior angle next to a triangle is equal to the sum of two angles of the triangle, opposite of the interior angle. In this case: Angle QRT is equal to the sum of angle RTS and angle RST. So if we put that into an equation it will look like this:

9x = 5x + (9 + x)
Now we can solve for x.
9x = 5x + 9 + x
9x = 6x + 9 (Combine like terms)
9x - 6x = 9 (transpose)
3x = 9
3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3

The polynomial p(x)=(3-2x)(x^2-5) is graphed in a coordinate plane. Which statement about the graph is correct?

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

0 = (3-2x) x (x x 2 -5)

(3-2x) x ( x x 2 - 5) = 0

(3-2x) x (2x - 5) = 0

3 - 2x = 0

2x - 5 = 0

x = 3/2

x = 5/2

x1 = 3/2 or x2 = 5/2

Emily is picking strawberries at a speed of 3 strawberries per second. Her little sister Sophia joins Emily when there are 20 st

Zina [86]

Answer:

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information from the problem, if Emily continues to pick 3 strawberries per second while Sophia eats 5 strawberries per second, then the amount of strawberries will decrease at a rate of 2 strawberries per second. Therefore, we can find the answer by subtracting 2 from 20 until we get to 8. Since we subtract 2 six times, the answer is 6. Hope this makes sense!

After a rotation of 90° about the origin, the coordinates of the vertices of the image of a triangle are A'(6,3), B'(-2, 1)

Fed [463]

Answer:

A(3, -6)
B(1, 2)
C(7, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation by -90° about the origin is the transformation ...

(x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

So, your pre-image points are ...

A'(6, 3) ⇒ A(3, -6)

B'(-2, 1) ⇒ B(1, 2)

C'(1, 7) ⇒ C(7, -1)

Quadratics need help making parabola

timama [110]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{4}{3}\cdot x -4$ , whose real vertex is $(x,y) = (2, -5.333)$ , not $(x,y) = (2, -5)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is a second order polynomial. By Fundamental Theorem of Algebra we know that a second order polynomial can be formed when three distinct points are known. From statement we have the following information:

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (-2, 0)$ , $(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (6, 0)$ , $(x_{3}, y_{3}) = (0, -4)$

From definition of second order polynomial and the three points described above, we have the following system of linear equations:

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b + c = 0$ (1)

$36\cdot a + 6\cdot b + c = 0$ (2)

$c = -4$ (3)

The solution of this system is: $a = \frac{1}{3}$ , $b = - \frac{4}{3}$ , $c = -4$ . Hence, the equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{4}{3}\cdot x -4$ . Lastly, we must check if $(x,y) = (2, -5)$ belongs to the function. If we know that $x = 2$ , then the value of $y$ is:

$y = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (2)^{2}-\frac{4}{3}\cdot (2) - 4$

$y = -5.333$

$(x,y) = (2, -5)$ does not belong to the function, the real point is $(x,y) = (2, -5.333)$ .
