Answer:

After 120 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of seconds after which both spotlights will change colors at the same time again.

Basically, what we want to do here is to

calculate the value with which 30 and 40 have the same multiples or we want to

calculate the lowest common multiple of 30 and 40

The multiples of 30 are 30,60,90,120 etc

The multiples of 40 are 40,80,120 etc

We can see that the lowest common multiple of both is 120

So therefore the spotlights will change colors at the same time after 120 seconds

Write a two column proof. If ZY=3XY, then ZX=4XY
Blababa [14]

Answer:

As you have written

Z Y  = 3 X Y,

It means X, Y, Z are collinear points i.e they lie in the same line or line segment.

Locating points X, Y,Z  on the line

Two possibilities are possible

1. First Z, then X and then Y on the line or line segment

→ Z X + Y X= Z Y

But Z Y = 3 X Y [ Given]

→  Z X + Y X = 3 X Y

→  Z X = 3 X Y -  Y X

→  Z X = 2 X Y ⇒ which is not the result.

2. 2nd Possibility

First Z, then Y and then X on the line or line segment

→ Z X  =  Z Y + Y X

→ Z X= 3 X Y + Y X  [Z Y=3 X Y→(given)]

→ Z X= 4 X Y , Which is the result.

F(x) = x2 + 2x - 2<br> Show graph
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x2 + 2x - 2  should be rewritten using " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:

f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 2.

We find a couple of key points and use the fact that this parabola is symmetric about the line

          -2

x = ----------- = -1.  When x = -1, y = f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 2, or 1 - 2 -2, or -3.

        2(1)

Thus the vertex is at (-1, -3).  The y-intercept is found by letting x = 0:  y = -2.  The axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Graph x = -1 and then reflect this y-intercept (0, -2) about the line x = -1, obtaining (-2, -2).  If necessary, find 1 or two more points (such as the x-intercepts).

To find the roots (x-intercepts), set f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 2 = 0 and solve for x.

Completing the square, we obtain x^2 + 2x + 1 - 2 = + 1, or (x + 1)^2 = 3.

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 1 = ±√3.  One of the two roots is x = 1.732 - 1, or 0.732, so one of the two x-intercepts is (0.732, 0).
