Building a is 271 meters taller than building

Mathematics
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
4 0

Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).

... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b

... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211

Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.

... 2b - (b+271) = 211

... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271

... a = b +271 = 753

Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.

(08.05)Jason earned scores of 90 points, 82 points, 95 points, and 86 points on four tests. What is the lowest score he can get
Irina-Kira [14]

If he'll have 5 tests and the average is 90, this means that the scores of each test added must be equal to 90 * 5 or 450.

450 = 90 + 82 + 95 + 86 + x

450 = 353 + x

97 = x which means that he must get a 97% on the fifth test to have an average of 90%

Given the x-intercepts for the graph of a quadratic function, write a possible formula for the quadratic function, in
eduard

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are SOLUTIONS to a quadratic whereas when you put those solutions into factor form (in a set of parenthesis), you have the FACTORS of the quadratic.  They are the same thing generally, they are just written in different forms.  For example, if a solution to a quadratic is x = 3, it has been understood that x = 3 when y = 0. Therefore, if x - 3 = y and y = 0, then x - 3 = 0.  Solving that for x, you get x = 3.  That factor of x = 3 is (x - 3).

Following that logic, for a:

If the x intercepts are x = 0 and x = 3, it is understood that x + 0 = 0 so x = 0 and the factor is (x + 0) (it could also be x - 0 since adding 0 is the same as subtracting 0); if x = 3 it is understood that x - 3 = 0 and the factor is (x - 3).

For b:

If the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 1, then originally the factors were (x + 1) and (x - 1).  Again, set each of those equal to 0 and solve for x (THE X-INTERCEPT EXISTS WHERE Y = 0!)

For c:

If the x-intercepts are x = -5 and x = 10, then originally the factors were (x + 5) and (x - 10).

For d:

If the x-intercept is a fraction, do the same thing:

x = 1/2 so

x - 1/2 = 0 Now multiply both the x and the 1/2 by a 2 to get the factor (2x - 1) and the other factor from x = 4 is (x - 4)
