Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question the equation

y = -x² + 2x - 1

To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y

0 = -x² + 2x - 1

To find value of x use quadratic equation

x = -b ± √b²-4ac / 2a

here a = -1

b = 2

c = -1

x1 = -2 + √2²-4(-1)(-1) / 2(-1)

= -2 + 0 / -2

= -2 / -2

= 1

x2 = -2 - √2²-4(-1)(-1) / 2(-1)

= -2 - 0 / -2

= -2 / -2

= 1

Simplify x^1/3(x^1/2+2x^2)

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

$x^{5/6 } + 2\cdot x^{7/3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $x^{1/3}\cdot (x^{1/2} + 2\cdot x^{2})$ , which can be simplified solely by algebraic means. We proceed to describe all the steps needed for simplification:

1) $x^{1/3}\cdot (x^{1/2} + 2\cdot x^{2})$ Given.

2) $x^{1/3}\cdot x^{1/2} + 2\cdot (x^{1/3}\cdot x^{2})$ Distributive and associative properties.

3) $x^{5/6 } + 2\cdot x^{7/3}$ $a^{m}\cdot a^{n} = a^{m+n}$ /Result

The cross-sectional areas of a right triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. The right triangular prism has a heigh

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

B.)The volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the cross-sectional area of both congruent right triangular prism and right cylinder.

Since the prism has height 2 units, its volume V₁ = 2A.

Since the cylinder has height 6 units, its volume is V₂ = 6A

Dividing V₁/V₂ = 2A/6A =1/3

V₁ = V₂/3.

The volume of the prism is one-third the volume of the cylinder.

So, since the volume of the prism is neither double nor half of the volume of the cylinder nor is it equal to the volume of the cylinder, B is the correct answer.

So, the volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

What is the slope of (-3,2) and (6,1)

evablogger [386]

Answer: -1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Slope (−3, 2) and (6, 1)

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.

$m=\frac{change in y}{change in x}$
