Answer:

k = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 5x + k

dy/dx = 2x - 5 = the slope of the tangent to the curve

The slope of the normal = -1/(2x - 5)

The line  3y + x =25 is normal to the curve so finding its slope:

3y = 25 - x

y = -1/3 x + 25/3 <------- Slope is -1/3

So at the point of intersection with the curve, if the line is normal to the curve:

-1/3 = -1 / (2x - 5)

2x - 5 = 3  giving x = 4.

Substituting for x in y = x^2 - 5x + k:

When x = 4, y =  (4)^2 - 5*4 + k  

y = 16 - 20 + k

so y = k - 4.

From the equation y = -1/3 x + 25/3,  at x = 4

y = (-1/3)*4 + 25/3 = 21/3 = 7.

So y = k - 4 = 7

k = 7 + 4 = 11.

If 3x - 8= -2, find the value of x - 6.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

x-6 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8= -2

Add 8 to each side

3x - 8+8= -2+8

3x = 6

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 6/2

x =2

We want to find x-6

2-6 = -4

How to answer this on descending powers of x please help pretty please
zheka24 [161]

Answer:  25x² - 64

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  (5x + 8)(5x - 8)

=        5x(5x - 8)   +    8(5x - 8)

=      25x² - 40x    +    40x - 64

=      25x²         + 0x           - 64

=              \large\boxed{25x^2-64}

NOTE: descending powers means the biggest exponent goes first, then the next biggest exponent, etc.

For example: x⁴ then x³ then x² then x then the number (which is actually x⁰)

1. Find the value of
spin [16.1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. -√5
  2. 3/5
  3. -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  sec = ±√(tan² +1)

  cos = 1/sec

  csc = 1/sin = ±1/√(1 -cos²)

Sine and Cosecant are positive in quadrants I and II. Cosine and Secant are positive in quadrants I and IV.

__

1. sec(θ) = -√((-2)² +1) = -√5

2. cos(θ) = 1/sec(θ) = 1/(5/3) = 3/5

3. csc(θ) = -1/√(1 -(-3/5)²) = -√(16/25) = -4/5

what are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 4x – 12? (–6, 0), (2,0) (–2, –16), (0, –12) (–6, 0), (–2, –16),
joja [24]
F(x) = x^2 + 4x - 12
x-intercepts are the values of x when y = 0
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0
x - 2 = 0 or x + 6 = 0
x = 2 or x = -6
Therefore the x-intercepts are (-6, 0), (2, 0)
