Answer:
n = 
, n = 
Step-by-step explanation:
6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term
product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the n- term
6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term
(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n =
2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n =
Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
The best explanation is noticing that in order to get from the point R (12, 1) to the point Q (7, 4) we move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. And to go from point Q (7, 4) to point P (2, 7) we do exactly the same: move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. That means that these points are all connected via the same rate of change: - 3/5, which is in fact the slope of the line the three points belong to.
The solution is the point where the two lines intersect (are equal) so y=y and we can say:
6-x=-10-x upon adding x to both sides:
6=-10
This is never true so there is no solution to this system of equations. And for this to be true the two lines must be parallel and have different y-intercepts...
