The value of x is 5/8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Given,

  • The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
  • slope of PQ= x-1/4
  • slope of RS = 3/8

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

slope of PQ = slope of RS

⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8

⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8

⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)

⇒ 32x-8 = 12

⇒ 32x = 20

x = 20/32

x = 5/8

If x+a is a factor of 2x²+2ax+5x+10,find a.
vazorg [7]

If x+a is a factor of the polynomial, it means that -a is a root of the polynomial.

In fact, if a polynomial p(x) has a root x_0 (i.e. p(x_0)=0), then the polynomial is divisible by (x-x_0)

In your case, you know that the polynomial is divisible by (x+a)=(x-(-a)), so -a is a solution.

Let's evaluate p(-a) and set it to zero:

2(-a)^2+2a(-a)+5(-a)+10 = 0 \iff 2a^2-2a^2-5a+10=0 \iff -5a+10 = 0 \iff a = 2

We can check the answer: if a=2 the polynomial becomes

2x^2+2(2)x+5x+10 = 2x^2+9x+10

And we're claiming that -a=-2 is a root of this polynomial:

2(-2)^2+9(-2)+10 = 2\cdot 4 - 18 + 10 = 0

49.5 is what percent of 33
Svet_ta [14]



  49.5 over 33 and X over 100 cross multiply so multiply 33 by x you get 33x then multiply 100 by 49.5 you get 4,950 then divide 4,950 by whatever is in front of X so 33 4,950 divided by 33 equals 150%
49.5/33   X/100   49.5x100= 4,950    33* x = 33x  4,950/33=150
