To solve by completing square method we proceed as follows:
2x^2+16x=-18
dividing through by 2 we get:
x^2+8x=-9
but
c=(-b/2a)^2
c=(-8/2)=16
hence
x^2+8x+16=-9+16
x^2+8x+16=7
(x+4)(x+4)=7
(x+4)^2=7
thus getting the square root of both sides
x+4=+/-√7
x=-4+/-√7
x=

Assume that y varies inversely with x. If y=1/3 when x=1/2, find y when x=1/4.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

y = \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = \frac{1}{3} when x = \frac{1}{2} , thus

\frac{1}{3} = \frac{k}{\frac{1}{2} } = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

k = \frac{1}{6}

y = \frac{1}{6x} ← equation of variation

When x = \frac{1}{4} , then

y = \frac{1}{6(\frac{1}{4}) } = \frac{1}{\frac{3}{2} } = \frac{2}{3}

3tenths - 3 twentieth​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

3 tenths- 3 twentieth

⇒

=\frac{3}{10} -\frac{3}{20} \\=\frac{6}{20} -\frac{3}{20}\\=\frac{6-3}{20} \\=\frac{3}{20} \\=0.15

Therefore value of given expression is 0.15

Which graph represents the solution to the given system ? Y=- 6X - 2Y +2=- 6X
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the first equation:

y=- 6x - 2

You can identify that:

m=-6\\b=-2

 By definition, the line intersects the x-axis when y=0. Then, subsituting this value into the equation and solving for "x", you get that the x-intercept is:

0=- 6x - 2\\\\2=-6x\\\\x=-\frac{1}{3}\\\\x=-0.333

Now you can graph it.

Solve for "y" from the second equation:

y +2=- 6x\\\\y=-6x-2

 You can identify that:

m=-6\\b=-2

Notice that the slopes and the y-intercepts of the first line and the second line are equal; this means that they are exactly the same line and the System of equations  has<u> Infinitely many solutions.</u>

See the graph attached.
