You need to find points where the line g(x) intercepts the quadratic function f(x) in one and only one point.

Then 3x^2 + 4x -2 = mx - 5

solve 3x^2 + 4x - mx -2 + 5 = 0

3x^2 + (4 - m)x + 3 = 0

In order to there be only one solution (one intersection point) the radicand of the quadratic formula must be 0 =>

b^2 - 4ac = (4 - m)^2 - 4(3)(3) = 0

(4 - m)^2 = 24

4 - m = +/- √(24)

m = 4 +/- √(24) = 4 +/- 2√(6)

Then m, the slope of the line, may be 4 + 2√6 and 4 - 2√6

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<h2>X = \frac{-x}{3}</h2><h2>Y = 5y.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the translation for which, (-3, 1) becomes (1, 5).

-3 will become 1, if it is divided by -3.

Hence, the translation for x axis is X = \frac{-x}{3}.

1 will become 5, when it is multiplied by 5.

Hence, The translation for y axis is Y = 5y.

What is the arc measure, in degrees, of major arc \stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC} ADC ⌢ A, D, C, start superscript, \frown, end s
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC}    = 186^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Determine the measure of \stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC}

The\ sum\ of\ angles\ in\ a\ circle\ is 360^{\circ}.

So, we have:

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC} + \stackrel{\large{\frown}}{APB}  + \stackrel{\large{\frown}}{BPC}  = 360^{\circ}

Where:

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{APB}  = 70^{\circ}

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{BPC}  = 104^{\circ}

Substitute these values in the above equation.

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC} + 70^{\circ}   +104^{\circ}   = 360^{\circ}

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC} + 174^{\circ}   = 360^{\circ}

Collect Like Terms:

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC}    = 360^{\circ} - 174^{\circ}

\stackrel{\large{\frown}}{ADC}    = 186^{\circ}

the area of a gymnasium floor is 264 square yard. the floor is 11 yards wide . how long is the floor?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Area = Length x Width (A = L x W)

A = 264, W = 11, L = ?

Rewrite the equation to find L. In order to reverse multiplication, you must divide.

L = A / W

L = 264 / 11 = 24 yards
