Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
141x-1=2(70)
141x=140+1
141x=141
x=141/141
x=1
To answer this item, we let x be the first positive integer. Then, the second would be x+1. Their reciprocals would be 1/x and 1/(x+1). Then, the equation that would best represent the scenario above is,
1/x + 1/(x+1) = 17/72
Solving the equation above,
((x+1) + x) / (x)(x+1) = 17/72
If we take the numerators of both sides of the equation,
(x+1) + x = 17
The value of x from the equation is 8 and x+1 would be 9. Thus, the answer would be 8 and 9.
Answer:
A general line is written as:
y = a*x + b
where:
a is the slope
b is the y-intercept.
a) y-intercept = 2 and slope = 7.
This line is:
y = 7*x + 2
b) y-intercept = -1 and is parallel to y= 5x - 7.
Now, if two linear equations are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercept. Then if we want a line parallel to y= 5x - 7, this means that the slope of this line must also be equal to 5.
y = 5*x + (-1)
c) y-intercept 2 and is inclined at 45° to the x- axis.
When we have an inclination of A degrees from the x-axis, the slope of the equation is given by: a = Tan(A)
In this case, we have A = 45°
Then the slope is a = Tan(45°) = 1
Then the equation of this line is:
y = 1*x + 2
Answer:
--- Vertex
--- Axis of symmetry
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): The vertex
For an equation written in
The vertex is:
By comparison:
and
So, the vertex is:
Solving (b): The axis of symmetry
For an equation written in
The axis of symmetry is:
x = h
In (a):
So:
-x(3x-10)=8
-3x^2+10x=8 (DISTRIBUTE)
-3x^2+10x-8=0 (BALANCE TO ZERO)
(-3x+4)(x-2)=0 (FACTOR)
(-x+4/3)(x-2)=0 (SIMPLIFY)
{x=2 OR x= 4/3}
