Find the value of x if the points (x,5) and (3,7) lie on the line whose slope is 4/7

Mathematics
1 answer:
muminat3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation in which the slope from the definition of slope is on the left side and the given slope, 4/7, is on the right side:

        7 - 5          4

m = ---------- = --------

         3 - x         7

Simplifying with the aim to find the value of x:

2(7) = 4(3 - x), or 7 = 3 - x.  Then x = -4.

How to find minimum and maximum of this equation.
Westkost [7]

Using it's vertex, the maximum value of the quadratic function is -3.19.

<h3>What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The vertex is given by:

(x_v, y_v)

In which:

  • x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}
  • y_v = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}

Considering the coefficient a, we have that:

  • If a < 0, the vertex is a maximum point.
  • If a > 0, the vertex is a minimum point.

In this problem, the equation is:

y + 4 = -x² + 1.8x

In standard format:

y = -x² + 1.8x - 4.

The coefficients are a = -1 < 0, b = 1.8, c = -4, hence the maximum value is:

y_v = -\frac{1.8^2 - 4(-1)(-4)}{4(-1)} = -3.19

4-Fui al supermercado y había un descuento del 15% en el total de la compra, si pagaba en efectivo. Gasté $ 2.400. ¿Qué cantidad
Grace [21]

Answer:

$2.040

Step-by-step explanation:

Para calcular la cantidad que fue abonada en realidad, debes encontrar el valor del descuento calculando el 15% del valor total de la compra y este resultado se debe restar del total:

$2.400*15%= $360

$2.400-$360= $2.040

De acuerdo a esto, la cantidad abonada en realidad es: $2.040.

What is the equation of a line passing through (5,2) and parallel to the line represented by the equation y - 2x + 1?
34kurt

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not sure if its supposed y = -2x + 1 or y = 2x + 1 but I'll solve the problem for both.

First for y = -2x + 1

Since the line has to be parallel to y = -2x + 1

the slopes would be the same.

so, so far the equation would be

y = -2x + b

now we substitute (5,2) into the equation

2 = -2(5) + b

2 = -10 + b (Add 10 to both sides of the equation)

+10 +10

12 = b

Now that we solved for b

The equation would be

y = -2x + 12

^^ This equation is parallel to y = -2x + 1

Now to solve for an equation parallel to y = 2x + 1

Both equations would have the same slope

So far we would have

y = 2x + b

Now we solve for be by substituting the point (5,2)

2 = 2(5) + b

2 = 10 + b (subtract 10 from both sides)

-10 -10

-8 = b

After solving for b

The equation is

y = 2x - 8

This equation is parallel to y = 2x + 1

The graph of a quadratic function passes through the points (-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2). Write the quadratic function in general f
ddd [48]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2+3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we have the points

(-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2)

Plot the points

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The graph of a quadratic function must be a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The quadratic function in general form is equal to

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of each given ordered pair in the general equation and solve for a,b and c

(0,2)

For x=0, y=2

substitute

2=a(0)^2+b(0)+c

c=2

(-1,0)

For x=-1, y=0

substitute

0=a(-1)^2+b(-1)+2

0=a-b+2 ----> a=b-2 ----> equation A

(-2,0)

For x=-2, y=0

substitute

0=a(-2)^2+b(-2)+2

0=4a-2b+2 ----> equation B

we have the system

a=b-2 ----> equation A

0=4a-2b+2 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

0=4(b-2)-2b+2

solve for b

0=4b-8-2b+2

2b=6

b=3

Find the value of a

a=3-2=1

therefore

The quadratic function in general form is equal to

f(x)=x^2+3x+2

see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem

The probability that the card drawn from a standard 52-card deck is queen is​
Fed [463]

There are 4 queens in a deck of cards.

You have 4 chances out of 52 total cards to get a queen.

The probability is 4 queens / 52 cards = 4/52, which can be reduced to 1/13
