Find the smallest zero of f(x+5)

podryga [215]

ANSWER

1. k=13

2. x=-10

EXPLANATION

The given function is

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 3x - 10$

To find f(x+5), plug in (x+5) wherever you see x.

This implies that:

$f(x) = {(x + 5)}^{2} + 3(x + 5) - 10$

Expand:

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 10x + 25+ 3x + 15- 10$

Simplify to obtain

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 13x + 30$

We now compare with,

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + kx + 30$

This implies that:

$k = 13$

To find the smallest zero of f(x+5), we equate the function to zero and solve for x.

${x}^{2} + 13x + 30 = 0$

${x}^{2} + 10x + 3x + 30 = 0$

$x(x + 10) + 3(x + 10) = 0$

$(x + 3)(x + 10) = 0$

$x = - 10 \: or \: x = - 3$

The smallest zero is -10.

What’s the value of x for a-d?

patriot [66]

Answer:

a = 76 b = 22 c = 58 d = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 180 - 133 = 47

so you have two angles found, which is 57 and 47. Add them together and subtract from 180. You get 76

B. 68 + 90 = 158

You subtract the 158 from 180 and get 22

C. This took some guess work, but when you multiply 58 by 2 you get 116. When subtracted from 180 you get 64. If you add 58 + 58 + 64, you get 180, so this made sense

D. There's an actual rule in trig that explains this, but I forgot it. If you look at the top angle, the other side of the line added to the 68 is a right angle. So you subtract 68 from 90 and get 12. Because there is already the right angle in the triangle, you just need the other two angles to equal 90, and because of the 68 that we found in the other triangle, this made sense.

Sorry, not the best at explanations. Hope that helped
