Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
- In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.
3. The correct answer is 2) 3m² - 6.
(2m² + 3m - 4) + (m² - 3m - 2) Given
2m² + m² These numbers are like terms, because they both end in m².
3m² Since m² can also be written as 1m², and 2 + 1 = 3, this is the sum of 2m² and m² (1m²).
3m + (-3m) These numbers are like terms, because they both end in m. -3m is negative because it was being subtracted.
0 Since we're adding a negative, it's the same as subtracting something. 3m - 3m is 0.
-4 + (-2) These numbers are like terms, because they are both simple integers with no variable. Once again, we're adding a negative because it was being subtracted.
-6 -4 + (-2) is the same as -4 - 2, which is -6. Remember that when you're subtracting from a negative, the number seems to become larger. For instance, 1 - 1 is 0, but -1 - 1 is -2.
3m² - 6 Put all of the terms together. We don't have to write out 0, because 0 is the same as nothing.
5. This one is a bit unclear, but I think that the correct answer is 2) II and IV. The slope formula can be written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, or the place where the line crosses the y-axis. In this equation, b is 2, which is a positive number, so the y-intercept shifts upward. This means that the answer is either 2 or 3. As for |x - 6|, the way this is written makes the equation somewhat confusing. I believe that the bars are meant as absolute value bars, which, put simply, turn negatives into positives. This means that this part is x + 6, so the line shifts to the right. However, if they were intended as parentheses, the line would shift to the left, because we're subtracting 6 from x. I'm almost certain those were intended as absolute value bars, though, so I think that the answer is 2.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 3 squares across, the line drops by 1 square.
Therefore the slope of the lina is -1/3.
The y-intercept of the line is -8 (when x = 0)
The equation of the line is y = -1/3 x - 8.
