What are the x-intercepts of 4x^ + 8x - 5

Assuming the exponent is supposed to be "^2" your equation will read:

4x² + 8x - 5

It must set equal to y to be a valid function and the y must be set equal to zero to find x-intercepts.

4x² + 8x - 5 = 0
4x² - 2x + 10x - 5 = 0
2x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1) = 0

(2x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0

Set each binomial equal to zero.

2x + 5 = 0
2x = 0 - 5
2x = - 5
Divide both sides by 2
x = - 5/2

2x - 1 = 0
2x = 0 + 1
2x = 1
x = 1/2

Your x-intercepts are x = - 5/2, 1/2 or (- 5/2, 0) and (1/2, 0)

Find sin theta if cot theta = -2 and cos theta < 0
Katarina [22]

cot(<em>θ</em>) = cos(<em>θ</em>)/sin(<em>θ</em>)

So if both cot(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative, that means sin(<em>θ</em>) must be positive.

Recall that

cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1 = csc²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/sin²(<em>θ</em>)

so that

sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

Plug in cot(<em>θ</em>) = -2 and solve for sin(<em>θ</em>) :

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √((-2)² + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1/√(5)

HELP ASAP <br> What is the slope of the line on the graph?
ollegr [7]
The slope of this line is -1/6.  

2 Point:     (6,2)         (-6,6)
                   x₁ y₁         x₂ y₂
       

Remember: 
  
    rise          change in y          y₂ - y₁          6 - 2            4
 ---------- =  ------------------- = ------------- = ----------- = ----------
    run            change in x         x₂ - x₁         -6 - 6          -12


Simplify 4/-12

     4 ÷ 4             1
  -------      = ------------- = -1/3
   -12 ÷ 4          -3

The slope of the line is -1/3.

I'd really appreciate some help on these questions, I'm really struggling
nikklg [1K]
We can use linear combinations of the equations to eliminate variables.

3x - 4y = 1
-2x + 3y = 1

To eliminate y we'll make the linear combination of 3 times the first equation minus four times the second. 

9x - 12y = 3
-8x + 12y = 4

Adding,
x = 7

We could solve for y directly but let's use another linear combination, twice the first plus three times the second:

2(3x - 4y) + 3(-2x + 3y)= 2(1)+3(1)

y = 5

Check: 3(7)-4(5)=1 good.   -2(7)+3(5)=1 good.

Q18 Answer: (7,5)

y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3

4y +1(5x - 4y) = 4(-3x + 5) + 1(-3)

5x = -12x + 20 -3

17 x = 17

x = 1
y = -3(1) + 5 = 2
Check: 5(1) - 4(2) = -3 good

Q19 Answer (1,2)

6x + 5y = 25
x = 2y + 24
6x = 12y + 144
5y = 25 - 12y - 144
17y = -119
y = -119/17= -7
x = 2y+24= 10
Check: 6(10)+5(-7)=25 good   2y+24=2(-7)+24=10=x good

Q20 Answer (10,-7)


3x + y = 18
-7x + 3y = -10
9x  + 3y = 54
9x - -7x = 54 - -10
16x = 64
x=4
y = 18 -3x = 18-12=6

Check: 3(4)+6=18 good,  -7(4)+3(6)=-10 good

Q21 Answer: (4,6)

Need help ASAP !!!!<br> Solve for angle A
avanturin [10]
Since vertical angles are equal you can put the same value to the opposite angles. Also, you were given a supplementary angle which are two angles added to 180 degrees. Of those 180 you were given 100. The angle next to the 100 degrees has a value of 80. With all this, you add all the angles together and put it equal to 180 which is what the angles of a triangle add up to. Then you combine like terms to get the value of X and just replace it for x. After that you just multiply and then add.
