Because otherwise the two circles you build wouldn't have any intersection!

You have to draw two circles, centered at the endpoints of the segment, and connect their intersection.

If the radii are less than half the length of the circle, the circles will have no interserction.

How do the graphs of f (x) = x 2 and g (x)= 3/4 x 2? relate?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

$g(x)$ is a horizontal stretch of $f(x)$ by $\frac{3}{4}$ units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are;

$f(x)=x^2$

and

$g(x)=\frac{3}{4}x^2$

The parent function is $f(x)=x^2$ .

The function $g(x)=\frac{3}{4}x^2$ is a horizontal stretch of $f(x)=x^2$ by $\frac{3}{4}$ units.

A) Factorise 2x² - 9x - 5 (x-5)(2x+1) (2) b) Hence, simplify fully 2x^2- 9x - 5 3x – 15x (2)

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b).

2x² - 9x - 5 = ( x - 5 )( 2x + 1 )

3x² - 15x = 3x ( x - 5 )

$\frac{(x-5)(2x+1)}{3x(x-5)}$ = $\frac{2x+1}{3x}$
