Answer:

x=2 and x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

factoring the equation

x^2+6x-4-3x-6=0

x^2+3x-10=0

(x-2)(x+5)=0

x=2  and x=-5

The sum of three numbers is 100. The second number is 2 times the third. The third number is 8 less than the first. What are the
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:x+y+z=100(let x ,y,z represent the first second and third numbers respectively)

Therefore,y=2z

z=x-8

y=2x-16

substituting the values of x,y and z into the question,we have

x+(2x-16)+(x-8)=100

Simplifying,we have

4x-24=100

adding 24 to both sides of the equation,

4x=100+24

4x=124

dividing both sides of the equation by the co-efficient of x,we have

4x/4=124/4

4.31=124

therefore,x=31.

Please walk me through this​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

X is 160. because you can add all the value of x. But first substrate 540 with 100 which is 440. then 1/2x + 1/2x+ (x-15) + (x-25) which is further simplified as x + 2x - 40. then it's further simplified as 3x - 40 = 440. then add 40 with 440 which is 480 then divide it by 3 which is 160. therefore X= 160.

Which statements are true about the graph of the function f(x) = x2 – 8x + 5? Check all that apply.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A, D, E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to complete the square to prove A.  Do this by first setting the function equal to 0, then moving the 5 to the other side.

x^2-8x=-5

Now we can complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 8 (from the -8x).  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we add 16 to both sides.

(x^2-8x+16)=-5+16

We will do the addition on the right, no big deal.  On the left, however, what we have done in the process of completing the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which gives us the h coordinate of the vertex.  We will rewrite with that perfect square on the left and the addition done on the right,

(x-4)^2=11

Now we will move the 11 back over, which gives us the k coordinate of the vertex.

(x-4)^2-11=y

From this you can see that A is correct.

Also we can see that the vertex of this parabola is (4, -11), which is why B is NOT correct.

The axis of symmetry is also found in the h value.  This is, by definition, a positive x-squared parabola (opens upwards), so its axis of symmetry will be an "x = " equation.  In the case of this type of parabola, that "x = " will always be equal to the h value.  So the axis of symmetry is

x = 4, which is why C is NOT correct, either.

We can find the y-intercept of the function by going back to the standard form of the parabola (NOT the vertex form we found by completing the square) and sub in a 0 for x.  When we do that, and then solve for y, we find that when x = 0, y = 5.  So the y-intercept is (0, 5).

From this you can see that D is also correct.

To determine if the parabola has real solutions (meaning it will go through the x-axis twice), you can plug it into the quadratic formula to find these values of x.  I just plugged the formula into my graphing calculator and graphed it to see that it did, indeed, go through the x-axis twice.  Just so you know, the values of x where the function go through are (.6833752, 0) and (7.3166248, 0).  That's why you need the quadratic formula to find these values.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to x - y = -5 and passes through (4, 7).
Ivanshal [37]
X - y = -5
-y = -x - 5
y = x + 5...slope here is 1. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip ur slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(4,7)...x = 4 and y = 7
now we sub and find b, the y int
7 = -1(4) + b
7 = -4 + b
7 + 4 = b
11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -x + 11 <==
