Point (a,a) lies on the graph of the equation 3y = 2x -4 find the value of a

1 answer:

5 0

Substituting (x, y) with (a, a), since we have:

3a=2a-4, which means that 3a-2a=-4, that is a=-4.

So, the point is (-4, -4).

Remark: a point which lies in the graph of an equation is a solution of that equation. So x=a, y=a satisfies the equation 3y = 2x -4, which makes our substitution legitimate.

Answer: (-4, -4).

Find the Inverse of the Function y= 10x^2 - 4

shusha [124]

Hello.

1. Switch y and x.
x = 10y^2 - 4
2. Isolate y.
x + 4 = 10y^2
(x + 4)/(10) = y^2
y = sqrt[(x + 4)/(10)]
3. Replace y with f^-1(x)
f^-1(x) = sqrt[(x + 4)/(10)]

Good luck to you!

Quentin has 18 unit cubes. how many different rectangular prisms can be build if he uses unit cubes

kvv77 [185]

18 = 2·3·3

So possibles prisms are:

2×3×3

1×2×9

1×6×3

1×1×18

Therefore Quentin can make 4 different rectangular prism with 18 unit cubes.
