Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a quadratic inequality, first solve it normally like you would for a normal quadratic equation. We have:

9x^2-15x

Ignore the less than sign and replace it with an equal sign and solve the quadratic for its zeros:

9x^2-15x=6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

9x^2-15x-6=0

Divide everything by 3:

3x^2-5x-2=0

Factor. Find two numbers that equal (3)(-2)=-6 that add up to -5.

-6 and 1 works. Thus:

3x^2-6x+x-2=0\\3x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0\\(3x+1)(x-2)=0

Find the x using the Zero Product Property:

3x+1=0 \text{ or }x-2=0\\x=-1/3\text{ or }x=2

Now, we need to replace the equal signs with symbols again. To do so, we need to test which symbol to place. Let's do the first zero first.

So, the first zero is:

x=-1/3

Assume that the correct symbol is >. Thus,

x>-1/3

Now, pick any number that is greater than -1/3. I'll pick 0 since it's the easiest. Now, plug 0 back into the very original inequality. If it works, then the sign is correct, if it doesn't, then simply use the opposite one. Therefore:

9x^2-15x

0 is indeed less than six, so our first correct solution is:

x>-1/3

For the second one, do the same thing. We have:

x=2

Assume that the correct symbol is <. Thus:

x

Again, pick any number less than 2. I'm going to use 0. Plug 0 back into the original equation

9x^2-15x

Again, this is correct. Therefore, x<2 is also the correct inequality.

So together, we have:

x>-1/3 \text{ and } x

Together, we can write them as:

-1/3

(Note that we don't need to worry about the "or equal to" part since the original inequality didn't have it.)

Please help! what is the polar equation r = -5 theta in parametric form?<br><br> thank you!
Rudiy27

Use these equations when converting polar equations to parametric equations:

x=r\cos\theta

y=r\sin\theta

We know that r=5\theta, so substitute that into both equations for x and y.

x=5\theta\cos\theta

y=5\theta\sin\theta

Now, replace \theta with any variable that you want to represent the parametric equations in. I'll use the standard variable, t

x=5t\cos t

y=5t\sin t

Thus, r=5\theta represented in parametric form is:

(x,y)=(5t\cos t, 5t \sin t)

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Graph the linear equation using the slope and​ y-intercept.<br> Y=4X+3
JulsSmile [24]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have y = 4x + 3

m = 4 - slope

3 - y-intercept


m=\dfrac{\Delta Y}{\Delta x}\to4=\dfrac{4}{1}
