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

Answer:

Θ = 84°

Step-by-step explanation:

using the identity

cosx = sin(90 - x) , then

cos6° = sin(90 - 6)° = sin84°

that is Θ = 84°

Megan went to the beach 34 times last summer. She went 6 more times in July than she did in June. She went twice as many times i
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>Megan went to beach 34 times last summer.
June =  x
July = 6 * june
August =  2 * june
Thus Let’s find the value of june, which is the value of x as a variable:
Equation:
x + 6x + 2x = 34
Solution:
=> x + 6x + 2x = 34
=> 9x = 34
=> 9x / 9 = 34 / 9
=> x = 3.7778, since this is a decimal, let’s round this off to 3.78
Let’s check our answer
=> 4 + 6(4) + 2(4)
=> 4 + 24 + 8
=> 36 approximately.</span>
