You recognize that, of the numbers in Y, 20 is not a square. You also recognize that the remaining values of Y correspond to the squares of the values of X:
I suppose what makes this question annoying is that there is the question mark so what i'll do first is substitute the question mark with x. also, there are annoying parenthesis so we'll first eliminate the ones we don't need. now we just have to solve for x.
-3.4 + (-8 + 2) = (x + (-8)) + 2
adding a negative number is subtracting that number so x + (-8) = x - 8
-3.4 + 2 - 8 = x - 8 + 2
-3.4 -6 = x - 6
x = -3.4
make sure you are aware that the negative sign belongs to the number after it so -2 + 4 is not -(2+4) = -6 but rather 4 - 2 = 2.
let me know if you have any questions!
they are negative inversees (they multily to get -1)
2
-1/2
use the square viewer (on TI)
The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are parallel is they are the same.
The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are perpendicular is they are negative inverses of each other (they multiply to -1). A line that is parallel to a line whose slope is 2 has slope 2. A line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is 2 has slope -1/2.
What must be done to make the graphs of two perpendicular lines appear
to intersect at right angles when they are graphed using a graphing
utility?
