Answer:

The point-slope form would be y - 4 = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, we first need to find the slope. For that, we use the slope formula.

m (slope) = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

Now we plug the numbers into the equation.

m (slope) = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

m (slope) = (4 - -1)/(2 - -3)

m (slope) = 5/5

m (slope) = 1

Now we can use point-slope form along with the slope and either point to write the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = (x - 2)

Need help with a simple problem 2^x=3^x+1

KiRa [710]

For $x\ \textgreater \ 0$ , $2^x\ \textless \ 3^x$ , all the more $2^x\ \textless \ 3^x+1$ , therefore no solution.

For $x=0$ , we have $2^0=3^0+1 \Rightarrow 1=1+1 \Rightarrow 1=2$ . Obviously that' false.

For $x\ \textless \ 0$ both $2^x$ and $3^x$ , where $2^x\ \textgreater \ 3^x$ , belong to the range $(0,1)$ , then $3^x+1$ belong to the range $(1,2)$ .
Those ranges don't have a common part, therefore, again, no solution.

So, the equation $2^x=3^x+1$ doesn't have a solution.

How would you graph f(x) = 7x + 5 when you reflect it over y axis and translate it 3 units left

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function $f(x)=7x+5$

1. To reflect the graph of the function f(x) over the y-axis, you should change the slope of the line in opposite. The slope of the function f(x) is 7, so the slope of the reflected function will be -7 and the expression of the reflected function will be

$g(x)=-7x+5$

2. To translate the function g(x) 3 units left, add 3 units to x, thus the expression for the function will be

$h(x)=-7(x+3)+5\\ \\h(x)=-7x-21+5\\ \\h(x)=-7x-16$

See attached diagram for details.

Solve for the missing side: simplify the radical

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

$x=8\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume the following:

You know how to use the quadratic formula
You know how to simplify radicals
You know how to use the pythagorean theorem.

The challenge of this exercise comes from using the pythagorean theorem and setting up a few equations.

Given that we have a segment 36 units long and another segment that is 16, it is trivial to get the other segment, 20. Additionally, there are two sides that I want to name so that way I can make a couple of substitutions. I will call these side a and side b. (see attachment 1)

Now comes with setting up three equations. I will start with the two smaller triangles, using side a and side b. See attachments 2 and 3.

Now with the big triangle. I will set up one last equation. See attachment 4.

Given what we know about attachment 2 and 3, we can make two substitutions. See attachment 5. I assume you know how to do the rest and arrive at your only real solution.
