Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that r is inversely proportional to s then the equation relating them is

r = $\frac{k}{s}$ ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition r = 16 when s = 3

k = rs = 16 × 3 = 48

r = $\frac{48}{s}$ ← equation of variation → B

If x = –3, then x2 – 2x + 1 = ?

Since I just realized that you meant x^2-2x+1, let me evaluate this step by step:

x^2-2x+1
((-3)^2)-(2(-3))+1
9-(-6)+1
9+6+1
16

Therefore, that would equal 16.

Each of the line segments in the word MATH are numbered in the graph below. Find the slope (as a ratio of rise over run) of each

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

7. Line 1 = undefined.

Slope of a vertical line is always undefined. The run is zero as x-coordinate remains the same.

8. Line 2 = $\frac{4}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 -(-8)}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 + 8}$

$slope = \frac{4}{3}$

9. Line 3 = $\frac{4}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 -(-5)}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 + 5}$

$slope = \frac{4}{3}$

10. Line 4 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

11. Line 5 = $\frac{7}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 2}$

$slope = \frac{7}{3}$

12. Line 6 = $-\frac{7}{3}$

$slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 8}$

$slope = \frac{7}{-3}$

$slope = -\frac{7}{3}$

13. Line 7 = 0

An horizontal line has no rise.

14. Line 8 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

15. Line 9 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

16. Line 10 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

17. Line 11 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

18. Line 12 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

Solve each of the following quadratic equations 3x=0.5x^2 0=5x^2-2x+6

UNO [17]

Question 1

$3x=0.5x^{2}\\\\6x=x^{2} \\ \\ x^{2}-6x=0 \\ \\ x(x-6)=0 \\ \\ \boxed{x=0, 6}$

Question 2

$0=5x^{2}-2x+6 \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(5)(6)}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-116}}{10} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm 2i\sqrt{29}}{10} \\ \\ \boxed{x=\frac{1 \pm i\sqrt{29}}{5}}$
