What are the solutions to the equation x2 = 289?

Mathematics

Because this is a second degree equation you will have 2 solutions.  When you take the square root of a number you have to account for both the positive and negative roots.  Since the square root of 289 is 17 then your solutions are +17 and -17.

Determine the equation of each line with the following properties:
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

a) y =2/3 x + 7.

b) x = -1

c) y = -4/5 x - 1/5

d) y = -3/2 x + 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Intercept form y = mx + b where m = 2/3 and  b = 7

b) y can take any value but x is always -1.

c) Slope m = (-1-3)/ (1 - -4)

= -4/5

Using point-slope form where m = -4/5 and x1 y1 = 1 , -1:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -1 = -4/5(x - 1)

y + 1 = -4/5x + 4/5

y = -4/5 x - 1/5

d)  The slope m of the line perpendicular to this line is:

-1 / 2/3

m = -3/2.

When x = -1 , y = 4 so using the slope intercept form of a line

y = mx + b

4 = -3/2 * -1 + b  where b = the y-intercept.

4 = 3/2 + b

b = 4 - 3/2 = 5/2.

The equation is  y = -3/2 x + 5/2.

30 POINTS!!! PLEASE HELP ME
Ludmilka [50]

Remark

All you need is 2 points to get the line of the equation. One is itself (B and B') is the same in both triangles. Now we need to find one more point. Since this is a reflection, the midpoint between C and C' is the second point. That choice of C and C' is completely arbitrary.

Step One

y intercept of the line. That point is B which is (0,1)

Step Two

Find the midpoint between C and C'

C is (-4,-2) and C' is ( 0 , - 4) The midpoint is

C" = (x2 + x1)/2 , (y2 + y1)/2

C" = (-4 + 0 )/2 , (-2 + - 4) / 2

C" = (-4)/2 , - 6/2

C" = (-2, - 3) C" is the midpoint between C and C'

Step 3

Find the equation of the line.

y = ax + b We are trying to find A

y = ax + 1

-3 = a(-2) + 1

-3 - 1 = a(-2)

- 4 = a(-2) Divide by -2

-4/-2 = a

a = 2

The slope of the line is 2

Answer

y = 2x + 1

Can someone answer fast.plsss
Anika [276]

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

sec (thita) = squrt (5)

squaring on both sides:

sec^2 (thita) = 5 - equation 1

1 + tan^2 (thita) = 5

tan^2 (thita) = 4

tan (thita) = 2.

= tan (thita) - squrt(5)sin(thita)

= 2 - squrt(5) x 2/ squrt(5)

= 0

from eqn - 1

sec(thita) = squrt(5)

cos(thita) = 1/ squrt(5)

sin(thita) = squrt ( 1- 1/(squrt (5))^2)

sin(thita) = 2/ squrt(5) .
