Answer:

EG = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If a line bisects another line that means the point of intersection

 divides the second line into two equal parts

∵ EF bisects CD at G

∴ CG = GD

∵ CG = 5x - 1

∵ GD = 7x - 13

∴ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

* Lets solve the equation

∵ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

- Subtract 5x from both sides and add 13 to both sides

∴ 7x - 5x = 13 - 1

∴ 2x = 12

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 6

- Point G divides EF into two parts EG and GF

∴ EF = EG + GF

∵ EF = 6x - 4

- Substitute the value of x to find EF

∵ x = 6

∴ EF = 6(6) - 4 = 36 - 4 = 32

∴ EF = 32

∵ GF = 13

- Substitute the values of EF and GF in the equation of EF

∴ 32 = EG + 13

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 19 = EG

* EG = 19

Answer:

  • 4x² - 13x + 8 = 0
  • 4x² - 11x + 5 = 0
  • 16x² - 41x + 1 = 0
  • x² + 5x + 4 = 0
  • x² - 66x + 64 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • α and β are roots of 4x²-5x-1=0

<u>Then the sum and product of the roots are:</u>

  • α+b = -(-5)/4 = 5/4
  • αβ = -1/4

(i) <u>Roots are α + 1 and β + 1, then we have:</u>

  • (x - (α + 1))(x - (β + 1)) = 0
  • (x - α - 1)(x - β - 1) = 0
  • x² - (α+β+2)x + α+β+ αβ + 1 = 0
  • x² - (5/4+2)x +5/4 - 1/4 + 1 = 0
  • x² - 13/4x + 2= 0
  • 4x² - 13x + 8 = 0

(ii) <u>Roots are 2 - α and 2 - β, then we have:</u>

  • (x + α - 2)(x + β - 2) = 0
  • x² + (a + β - 4)x - 2(α + β) + αβ + 4 = 0
  • x² + (5/4 - 4)x - 2(5/4) - 1/4 + 4 = 0
  • x² - 11/4x - 10/4 - 1/4 + 16/4 = 0
  • x² - 11/4x + 5/4x = 0
  • 4x² - 11x + 5 = 0

(iii) <u>Roots are α² and β², then:</u>

  • (x - α²)(x-β²) = 0
  • x² -(α²+β²)x + (αβ)² = 0
  • x² - ((α+β)² - 2αβ)x + (-1/4)² = 0
  • x² - ((5/4)² -2(-1/4))x + 1/16 = 0
  • x² - ( 25/16 + 1/2)x + 1/16 = 0
  • x² - 33/16x + 1/16 = 0
  • 16x² - 33x + 1 = 0

(iv) <u>Roots are 1/α and 1/β, then:</u>

  • (x - 1/α)(x - 1/β) = 0
  • x² - (1/α+1/β)x + 1/αβ = 0
  • x² - ((α+β)/αβ)x + 1/αβ = 0
  • x² - (5/4)/(-1/4)x - 1/(-1/4) = 0
  • x² + 5x + 4 = 0

(v) <u>Roots are 2/α² and 2/β², then:</u>

  • (x - 2/α²)(x - 2/β²) = 0
  • x² - (2/α² + 2/β²)x + 4/(αβ)² = 0
  • x² - 2((α+β)² - 2αβ)/(αβ)²)x + 4/(αβ)² = 0
  • x² - 2((5/4)² - 2(-1/4))/(-1/4)²x + 4/(-1/4)² = 0
  • x² - 2(25/16 + 8/16)/(1/16)x + 4(16) = 0
  • x² - 2(33)x + 64 = 0
  • x² - 66x + 64 = 0

Of the following equations below, which equation represents a direct variation between x and y?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C. y +3 = x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find in below option x has direct variation with y.

We solve for each;

A. 2y = 3x-7

From above equation we can state that 2 times y is equal to 7 less than 3 times of x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.  

B. y-4 = x+6

Solving above expression we get;

y-4 = x+6\\y = x+6+4\\y=x+10

From above equation we can state that y is equal to 10 more than x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.

C. y+3 = x+3

Solving above expression we get;

y+3 = x+3\\y = x+3-3\\y=x

From above equation we can state that y is equal to x.

Hence it represent direct variation.

D. 4y+1 = 4x-1

Solving above expression we get;

4y+1 = 4x-1\\4y = 4x-1-1\\4y=4x-2

From above equation we can state that 4 times y is equal to 2 less than 4 times of x.

Hence it doesn't represent direct variation.

Hence the Answer which represent direct variation of x and y is,

C. y+3 = x+3

I need help graphing 2x - 6y = 42 I'm just really lazy​
solong [7]

Answer:

We can use slope intercept form to get the points needed. Y= -7+1/3x The points are (0,-7) and (3,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 2x from the left side and place it over to the right side with the 42. Now we have -6y= 42-2x. From here we divide by -6 and we get y= -7+1/3x. We know that are slope is 1/3 which the one is the rise and the 3 is the run. We also know that our y intercept is -7. We plot the points at (0,-7) and (3,-6)
