PLEASE HELP QUICK Suppose a particle is moving along the x-axis. The position, measured in feet, of the particle can be modeled

by the quadratic equation y = 3x2 − 12x − 9, where x is time, in seconds. What does the number −9 represent for the quadratic function? The particle is 9 feet to the left of the origin. The particle is moving left 9 feet per second. The particle is accelerating at −9 feet per second squared. The particle has stopped at 9 seconds.

When 'x' is zero, 'y' is -9.

That simply means that when time began ... when the starter

fired his pistol and the clock started running ... the particle

was 9 units 'before' zero, in the region of negative location.


By the way ... the way the question is written is enough to confuse

anyone, and I hope that hasn't contributed to your trouble with it.


If the particle is moving along the x-axis, then 'x' is its location,

and the time in seconds is something else. Say 't' for example.

Also, if it's moving along the x-axis, then 'y' is always zero.


The position of the particle is modeled by an equation like


X = 3t² - 12t - 9 .


'X' is the position of the particle, and 't' is the time in seconds.

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-3=x+9

4x-x-3=9

4x-x=9+3

3x=9+3

3x=12

3/3

12/3=4

x=4

Marizza181 [45]
If we let x and y represent length and width, respectively, then we can write equations according to the problem statement.
.. x = y +2
.. xy = 3(2(x +y)) -1

This can be solved a variety of ways. I find a graphing calculator provides an easy solution: (x, y) = (13, 11).

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches.
The width of the rectangle is 11 inches.

______
Just so you're aware, the problem statement is nonsensical. You cannot compare perimeter (inches) to area (square inches). You can compare their numerical values, but the units are different, so there is no direct comparison.

 x will be the granddaughter's age
<span>x=2 will be the grandson's age.

</span>x + x + 2 ≥ 12        Collect like terms.
           2x ≥ 12            Divide both sides by 2.             x ≥ 6 years      x + 2 ≥ 8 years
