Maurinko [17]2 years ago

Answer: a) 3 and -3 b) 4 and 2

c) 3.5 and 2.5 d) 5.5 and 0.5 e) This is due to the difference in the coefficient of (x-3)² and the value at the right side of each equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3x²-9 = 0

3x² = 0+9

3x² = 9

Dividing both sides by 3

x² = 9/3

x² = 3

x = √3

x = +3 and -3

b) (x-3)² = 1

Taking square root of both sides to remove the square,

√(x-3)² = √1

x-3 = √1

x-3 = 1 and x-3 = -1 (note that √1 is +1 and -1)

x = 4 and x = 2

c) 4(x-3)² = 1

Dividing both sides by 4 we have;

(x-3)² = 1/4

Taking the square root of both sides to eliminate the square.

√(x-3)² = √1/4

x-3 = √1/4

x-3 = +1/2 and x-3 = -1/2

x = 1/2+3 and x = -1/2+3

x = 3.5 and 2.5

d) 2(x-3)² = 12

Dividing both sides by 2 we have;

(x-3)² = 12/2

Taking the square root of both sides to eliminate the square.

√(x-3)² = √12/2

x-3 = √6

x-3 = 2.5 and x-3 = -2.5

x = 2.5+3 and x = -2.5+3

x = 5.5 and 0.5

e) The answers to questions 1 to 4 has different solutions due to the different value of the coefficient of (x-3)² and also the value at the right hand side of the equations also differs, hence, the reason for the difference in their answers.

Simplify (1-√3)(⅓+√3) leaving your answer in the form p+q√3​
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

\frac{-8 +2\sqrt{3} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with surds we need to take note of the roots present there.

To expand this equation we can do it the following way noting that √3 X √3 = 3

<em></em>

<em>Expanding (1-√3)(⅓+√3)</em>

1 X 1/3 = 1/3

1 X √3 = √3

-√3 X 1/3 =-√3/3

√3 X √3 = 3

hence, expanding the equation, we have

1/3 + √3 -√3/3 + 3

We can simply group the like terms and add them up.

[1/3 +3] +[√3-√3/3]

10/3 + \frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}

= \frac{-8 +2\sqrt{3} }{3}

Jay is copying an angle. His work so far is shown below. Explain the importance of his next step, which is placing the point of
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

  your answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose here, we'll call the missing point on the arc through Z point X.

Essentially, you want to make ΔXYZ ≅ ΔLMN by SSS. The construction so far ensures LM ≅ MN ≅ XY ≅ YZ. By copying the length LN to XZ, you ensure the congruence of the remaining sides of the triangles.

Then ∠XYZ ≅ ∠LMN because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

In short, XZ needs to be the same distance as LN.

Which inequality is represented by the graph?y &gt; -2/3x + 1y &lt; -2/3x + 1y &lt; -3/2x + 1y &gt; -3/2x + 1
Tanya [424]

Answer:

y < -\frac{3}{2}x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

From the graph shown,

The broken line means that the inequality sign will be either < or >.

The shaded region is to the left of the broken line. This means that y < f(x).

Now, in order to find equation of line, we need slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, the y intercept is at (0,1). So, y intercept is 1.

Also, if we consider two points (0,1)\textrm{ and }(2,-2) on the line, then slope is given as:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{-2-1}{2-0}=\frac{-3}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}

Therefore, the equation of the line is given as:

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1

But as the shaded region is to the left of the line,

∴ y is the correct answer.
