Find the values of p and q such that 4x^2+12x=4(x+p)^2-q

Answer:

p = 1.5 and q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side then compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is

4(x + p)² - q ← expand (x + p)² using FOIL

= 4(x² + 2px + p²) - q ← distribute parenthesis

= 4x² + 8px + 4p² - q

Comparing coefficients of like terms on both sides

8p = 12 ( coefficients of x- terms ) ← divide both sides by 8

p = 1.5

4p² - q = 0 ( constant terms ), that is

4(1.5)² - q = 0

9 - q = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- q = - 9 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

q = 9

find the equation of a straight line passing through the point (3,3) which is perpendicular to the line y=-1/2x-4
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{2}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} } = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 6 = - 3

y = 2x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. Parallel lines u and w are cut by transversal t. At the intersection of lines u
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

I think it's 105.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording is sort of unclear, but I drew it out and it seems that they are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent! If this is not the right answer, please tell me and I might be able to tell another one.

Well, technically, it has to be either 75 or 105, because all of the special relationships of triangles are either that they are supplementary or they are congruent. So if it's not 105, try 75 :)
