For which value of c is the line y=3x+c a tangent to the parabola with equation y=x^2-5x+7

Equating the y's:-

3x + c = x^2 - 5x + 7

x^2  - 8x +7 - c = 0

If y = 3x + c is a tangent then there  will be duplicate solutions to this equation 
That is the discriminant b^2 - 4ac = 0. So we have:-

(-8)^2 - 4 * 1 * (7 -c)  = 0
64 -28 + 4c = 0
4c  = - 36

so c = -9  answer

The midpoint of AB is (1.2). The coordinates of A are (-3, 6) Find the coordinates of B.
Gala2k [10]

Answer: coordinates of B are (5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

let B be (x2,y2)

x1 = -3 y1 = 6

x = 1

y = 2

so

x = (x2 + x1)/2

1 = (x2+(-3))/2

or, 2 = x2 - 3

so, x2 = 5

now

y = (y2+y1)/2

or, 2 = (y2 + 6)/2

or, 4 = y2 + 6

so, y2 = -2

Luis earns a base salary of $150.00 every week with an additional 14% commission on everything he sells. If Luis sold $6,050.00
max2010maxim [7]
Luis earns a solid $150 and that doesn't change, now you need to calculate 14% of $6,050. 
x=150+(0.14x6050)
    150+(847)
    997
Luis was paid $997.
