The larger right triangle with hypotenuse x + 5 and short leg x + 2 is similar to the smaller right triangle with hypotenuse x + 2 and short leg x.

Because of this similarity, we have

(x + 5)/(x + 2) = (x + 2)/x

Solve for x:

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

x^2 + 5x = x^2 + 4x + 4

x = 4

NOTES:

Use the equation y = mx + b where m is the unit rate and b is the one-time flat fee

1. Answer:

$\begin {array}{c||c|c|c|c}x&0&1&2&3\\ y&70.00&70.20&70.40&70.60\\\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

coffee maker costs $70 - this is a one-time flat fee

it costs $0.20 per cup of coffee - this is the unit rate

y = 0.20x + 70

y = 0.20(0) + 70 → y = 0.00 + 70 → y = 70.00

y = 0.20(1) + 70 → y = 0.20 + 70 → y = 70.20

y = 0.20(2) + 70 → y = 0.40 + 70 → y = 70.40

y = 0.20(3) + 70 → y = 0.60 + 70 → y = 70.40

2. Answer:

$\begin {array}{c||c|c|c|c}x&1&2&3&4\\ y&4.50&6.00&7.50&9.00\\\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

shoes costs $3.00 - this is a one-time flat fee

it costs $1.50 per game of bowling - this is the unit rate

y = 1.50x + 3.00

y = 1.50(1) + 3.00 → y = 1.50 + 3.00 → y = 4.50

y = 1.50(2) + 3.00 → y = 3.00 + 3.00 → y = 6.00

y = 1.50(3) + 3.00 → y = 4.50 + 3.00 → y = 7.50

y = 1.50(4) + 3.00 → y = 6.00 + 3.00 → y = 9.00

3. Answer: Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

As the x-values increase, the y-values decrease. Opposite directions results in a negative slope.

4. Answer: Gym A → y = 20x + 50 Gym B → y = 25x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula: $m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Then choose ONE of the points and input the point (x₁, y₁) and slope (m) into the Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) and solve for y.

Gym A: (x₁, y₁) = (1, 70) and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 90)

$m=\dfrac{90-70}{2-1} = \dfrac{20}{1} = 20$

y - 70 = 20(x - 1)

y - 70 = 20x - 20

y = 20x + 50

Gym B: (x₁, y₁) = (1, 55) and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 80)

$m=\dfrac{80-55}{2-1} = \dfrac{25}{1} = 25$

y - 55 = 25(x - 1)

y - 55 = 25x - 25

y = 25x + 30

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x – 2. Find the y-intercept and the equation of the axis of symmetry.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The y-intercept is -2

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = 1 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the general form of the quadratic function

- The general form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c,

where a, b , c are constant

# a is the coefficient of x²

# b is the coefficient of x

# c is the y-intercept

- The meaning of y-intercept is the graph of the function intersects

the y-axis at point (0 , c)

- The axis of symmetry of the function is a vertical line

(parallel to the y-axis) and passing through the vertex of the curve

- We can find the vertex (h , k) of the curve from a and b, where

h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of it

# h = -b/a and k = f(h)

- The equation of any vertical line is x = constant

- The axis of symmetry of the quadratic function passing through

the vertex then its equation is x = h

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = -2x² + 4x - 2

∴ a = -2 , b = 4 , c = -2

∵ The y-intercept is c

∴ The y-intercept is -2

∵ h = -b/2a

∴ h = -4/2(-2) = -4/-4 = 1

∴ The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = 1

What is the rate of change of the water level , in feet per hour

miskamm [114]

A; rate of change is the same as slope, so, using the slope formula, $m= \frac{y_{2} - y\1_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }$ , where $m$ is the slope and $x_{1}$ , $x_{2}$ , $y_{1}$ , and $y_{2}$ are the $x$ and $y$ values.

Plug in $2$ points for $x$ and $y$ , water level being the $y$ and time being the $x$ since we're looking for the answer in ft/hr-- you can choose any two, but from the same row.

$m= \frac{ 30-50}{4-0}$
$m= \frac{-20}{4}$
$m= \frac{-5}{1}$
$m= -5$ ft/hr
