Answer:

  x = 1/2 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can factor this as ...

  2x^2 -4x -x +2 = 0 . . . rewrite the middle term to enable factoring

  2x(x -2) -1(x -2) = 0 . . . . factor by grouping

  (2x -1)(x -2) = 0 . . . . factor out (x -2)

  x = 1/2, 2 . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

Find intercepts of: 3x-3y+9=0 <br> X-intercept as a ordered pair<br> Y-intercept as a ordered pairr
ahrayia [7]
3x - 3y + 9 = 0

The y-intercept is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis, and has coordinates of (0, b). It is also the value of y when x = 0.

To solve for the y-intercept, set x = 0:

3(0) - 3y + 9 = 0
3(0) - 3y + 9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides:
- 3y + 9 - 9 = 0 - 9
- 3y = -9
Divide both sides by -3 to solve for y:

-3y/-3 = -9/-3
y = 3

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, 3).

The x-intercept is the point on the graph where it crosses the x-axis, and has coordinates of (a, 0). It is also the value of x when y = 0.

To solve for the x-intercept, set y = 0:

3x - 3(0)+ 9 = 0
3x -0 + 9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides:
3x + 9 - 9 = 0 - 9
3x = -9

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

3x/3 = -9/3
x = -3

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-3,0).

The correct answers are:
Y-intercept = (0, 3)
X-intercept = (-3, 0)

An angle measures 18.6° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

X = 35.7 Y=54.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 angles be called X and Y were X is the smaller angle

we know that both angles are complementary therefore
X+Y=90

X = Y - 18.6 ( Given )

Y - 18.6 + Y = 90 ( substitution)

2Y = 90 + 18.6

Y = 108.6/2

Y=54.3

X= Y-18.6= 54.3-18.6 = 35.7

Check : X + Y = 35.7+54.3=90

What is 12.1 as a fraction in simplest form
Alex787 [66]
12 1/10
A quick way to get this one is to recognize that .1 is a decimal in the tenth place. Because of this, we know to put it over 10. Because 1/10 cannot be simplified, it is in simplest form. Now, simply return the whole number to the fraction.

Michela’s skateboard ramp is at an incline of 40°. When she attempts a trick on the ramp, she finds that it is too steep. She ad
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

22.7604763 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the answer is NOT 20 degrees.

She adjusted the ramp to half the original <em>incline</em>

Therefore we have tan 40 = x = 0.839099631.

We want an incline of y degrees where tan y = x/2 = 0.839099631/2 = 0.419549815

Taking the arctan of both sides, we get

y = arctan(0.419549815) = 22.7604763 degrees
