Three times the square of a non-zero number is equal to fifteen times the number.what is the number?

1 answer:

8 0

5 because you subtract 15x and bring it to 3x^2 and get 3x^2-15x=0. Then take out the gcf and you get 3x(x-5)=0. Since it can't be 0, x-5=0 , the answer is 5.

Answer:

y=12x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-20=12(x-3)

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1)

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the other line, meaning if the slope of the other line is $-\frac{1}{3}$ , then the slope of the line perpendicular is $3$ .

Knowing this, we can start to construct the equation for the line:

$y = mx + b$

$y = 3x + b$

To solve for $b$ , we plug in the coordinates of the point that we know the line runs through, $(2, 1)$ :

$y = 3x + b$

$1 = 3(2) + b$

$1 = 6 + b$

$b = -5$

Therefore, the slope of the line that is perpendicular ot the line provided in the equation is the following:

$y = 3x - 5$

Graph f(x) =-2x^+16x-30 by factoring to find the solutions, then find the coordinates of the vertex, and the axis of symmetry. I

inn [45]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Factor the function $f(x)=-2x^2+16x-30:$

$f(x)=-2x^2+16x-30=-2x^2+6x+10x-30=-2x(x-3)+10(x-3)=-2(x-3)(x-5).$

2. The zeros (or the solutions of the equation f(x)=0) are x=3 and x=5. So? points (3,0) and (5,0) are the points on the graph that are the solutions of the equation.

3. Find the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{16}{2\cdot (-2)}=4,\\ \\y_v=-2\cdot 4^2+16\cdot 4-30=-32+64-30=2.$

Thus, the coordinates of the vertex are (4,2) and the axis of symmetry is the vertical line that passes trough the vertex: x=4.
