-5 because it is closest to zero and -17 is farther than zero on a number line :) <span />

-17 because it's the furthest one away from the number 0 on a number line the further from 0 if the number is negative the smaller it becomes. Hope this helps: )

Find the x-intercept of the parabola of with vertex (1,20) and the y-intercept (0,16). write your answer in this form: (x1,y1),(
svetoff [14.1K]
I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:

(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)

Solving for p, p=-1/16.

Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:

(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1

Here, we have two values of x

x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1

thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).

The sum of a number, 1/6 of that number, 2 1/2 of that number, and 7 is 12 1/2. Find the number.
Tema [17]

Answer:

2 \frac{1}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question state that;  the sum of a number, 1/6 of that number, 2 1/2 of that number, and 7 is 12 1/2. Find the number.

First, we need to interpret and represent this statement mathematically

Let n be the number.

The sum means 'addition'

1/6 of that number is  1/6 of n = 1/6 × n  = \frac{n}{6}

2 1/2 of that number is 2 1/2 of n = 2 1/2 × n  = 5/2 × n = \frac{5n}{2}

So the question says that, when we add; \frac{n}{6} ,  \frac{5n}{2}  and 7 all together, the value is 12 1/2

That is;

\frac{n}{6}  + \frac{5n}{2} + 7 = 12 1/2

\frac{n}{6}  + \frac{5n}{2} + 7  = \frac{25}{2}         ( changing 12 1/2 to improper fraction will give  \frac{25}{2} )

So we can now go ahead and solve for n

\frac{n}{6}  + \frac{5n}{2} + 7  = \frac{25}{2}  

subtract 7 from both-side of the equation

\frac{n}{6}  + \frac{5n}{2}   =  \frac{25}{2}   -   7

\frac{n + 15n}{6}  =   \frac{25 -14}{2}

\frac{16n}{6}      =    \frac{11}{2}

\frac{16n}{6}  can be reduced to give us \frac{8n}{3}

\frac{8n}{3}   =   \frac{11}{2}

Cross multiply

8n × 2  = 11× 3

16n = 33

Divide both-side of the equation by 16

\frac{16n}{16}    =   \frac{33}{16}

(On the left-hand side of the equation, 16 will cancel-out 16 leaving us with just, while  on the right-hand side of the equation 33 will be divided by 16)

n =  \frac{33}{16}     = 2\frac{1}{16}

Therefore the number is  2\frac{1}{16}

So for question one (about the equilateral triangle), you know any triangle equals 180 degrees. So an equilateral triangle has all equal angles, so 180/3 would equal 60 degrees for each angle.

Now for the first triangle out of the three isosceles.

You should know that there are two equal sides and one side that is not equal in a isosceles triangle.

So if one side is 34 degrees, and the other two are equal, then you first subtract 34 degrees from 180 degrees, because again, all triangles have 180 degrees. So 180-34 would equal to 146 degrees left. Now you divide 146 by two, because the other two angles are equal to each other. So 146/2 = 73 degrees for each of the remaining angles.

For the second triangle out of the three isosceles.

First, let's just calculate half of the triangle first. You already know two angles, 30 and 90 degrees (hence the 90 degree symbol).

So 30 + 90 would equal 120 degrees in total out of 180 degrees (because 1 triangle = 180 degrees).

So if you subtract 180-120 or 120 + ? = 180 to know the remaining angle of the half of the triangle, you would get 60 degrees left. And that also goes with the other side of the top angle of the entire triangle, so your answer for the second one would be 60 degrees. :-)

For the third triangle out of the three isosceles.

You know one angle is 75 degrees.

If you turn your screen a little bit (like about 90 degrees) to the left, you would see that two sides (with the x degree in the middle) is equal. So then know you know the other side of the triangle would also be 75 degrees, because one side that is equal has 75 degrees.

Now you have two 75 degrees, you add 75 + 75, which gives you 150 degrees now.

So obviously again, 180 degrees is the total amount of degrees in a triangle, and you want to know the last degree that would make the triangle equal to 180 degrees out of 150 degrees, so 180-150 or 150 + ? = 180, which gives you 30 degrees for x for the third isosceles triangle.

try doing the fourth one by yourself lol
