Find x and y for the following problem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 5/4

y = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and the larger one are similar, so the sides are proportional.

(x+5)/5 = 10/8

x/5 + 1 = 1/4 + 1 . . . . . divide it out

x/5 = 1/4 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1

x = 5/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5

___

For y, you can do exactly the same computations, replacing every instance of 5 with a 7. Then you get ...

y = 7/4

Which equation is y = –3x2 – 12x – 2 rewritten in vertex form?
Andrej [43]
<span>The general equation of a quadratic is expressed as y = ax^2+bx+c. To convert the general equation to vertex form, we need to obtain this form:

(y- k)= a(x - h)^2

This could be done by using completing the square method.

</span><span>y = –3x^2 – 12x – 2
</span><span>y + 2 = –3(x^2 + 4x) 
</span>y + 2 -12 <span>= –3(x^2 + 4x + 4) 
</span>y - 10 = -3(x+2)^2

Therefore, the answer is the first option.

Using transformation (x-2 y+3) find the new coordinates of (7 -5) brainly
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

(5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the coordinates (7, -5), 7 is the x-coordinate and -5 is the y-coordinate.

The transformation, (x-2 y+3), states that the x-coordinate, 7, must be subtracted by 2.

When subtracted by two, (7 - 2), the difference is 5.

The transformation, (x-2 y+3), states that the y-coordinate must be increased by 3.

When added by 3, (-5 + 3), the sum is -2.

Therefore, the new coordinates are (5, -2).
