Answer:

$\boxed{\sf (f - g)(x) = 2x - 3}$

Given:

f(x) = 3x - 1

g(x) = x + 2

To Find:

(f - g)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf (f -g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =(3x - 1) - (x + 2) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =3x - 1 - x - 2 \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =3x - x - 1 - 2 \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =(3x - x) - (1 + 2) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =2x - (1 + 2) \\ \\ \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: =2x - 3$

Use the quadratic formula s to solve 2y^2-6y-8=0

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

{4, - 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2y² - 6y - 8 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 2, b = - 6, c = - 8

Using the quadratic formula to solve for y

y = ( - (- 6) ± $\sqrt{(-6)^2-(4(2)(-8)}$ ) / (2 × 2)

= ( 6 ± $\sqrt{36+64}$ ) / 4

= ( 6 ± $\sqrt{100}$ ) / 4

= ( 6 ± 10 ) / 4

x = $\frac{6+10}{4}$ = $\frac{16}{4}$ = 4

x = $\frac{6-10}{4}$ = $\frac{-4}{4}$ = - 1

Solution is { 4, - 1 }

Determine whether line AB and line CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. A( 4, 2), B(-3, 1), C(6, 0), D(-10, 8)

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

<h2>neither</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB an CD are parallel, then their slopes are the same.

If AB and CD are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal -1.

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Calculate the both slope:

$A(4,\ 2),\ B(-3,\ 1)\\\\m_{AB}=\dfrac{1-2}{-3-4}=\dfrac{-1}{-7}=\dfrac{1}{7}\\\\C(6,\ 0),\ D(-10,\ 8)\\\\m_{CD}=\dfrac{8-0}{-10-6}=\dfrac{8}{-16}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=============================$

$m_{AB}\neq m_{CD}$

The line AB and line CD are not parallel

$m_{AB}\cdot m_{CD}=\left(\dfrac{1}{7}\right)\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=-\dfrac{1}{14}\neq-1$

The line AB and line CD are not perpendicular.

Steph,andra,emily,and becca are planning a road trip from their hometown to san antonio

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a. Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).

b. Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the group of girls travels from their hometown to San Antonio in a straight line. We know that each location is, respectively:

Hometown

$H(x,y) = (8,6)$

San Antonio

$T(x,y) = (-6,-7)$

Then, we can determine the end of each girl's turn to drive by the following vectorial expression based on the vectorial equation of the line:

Steph

$S(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{1}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (1)

$S(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{1}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$S(x,y) = (8,6) +\frac{1}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$S(x,y) = (4.5,2.75)$

Andra

$A(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{2}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (2)

$A(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{2}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$A(x,y) = (8,6)+\frac{2}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$A(x,y) =(1, -0.5)$

Emily

$E(x,y) = H(x,y) + \frac{3}{4}\cdot [T(x,y)-H(x,y)]$ (3)

$E(x,y) = (8,6) + \frac{3}{4}\cdot [(-6,-7)-(8,6)]$

$E(x,y) = (8,6)+\frac{3}{4}\cdot (-14,-13)$

$E(x,y) = (-2.5, -3.75)$

a. <em>If the girls take turns driving and each girl drives the same distance, at what point should they stop from Emily to begin her turn as the third driver? </em>

Emily's beginning point is the Andra's stop point, that is, $A(x,y) =(1, -0.5)$ .

Emily should begin her turn as the third driver at point (1, -0.5).

b. <em>At what point does Emily's turn to drive end?</em>

Emily's turn to drive end at point (-2.5, -3.75).
