Answer:x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x+1) = 6x+2

since xy and yz are the parts of a midpoint they are equal to eachother

so 6x+2=5x+22

if you subtract 5x from both sides you get x+2 = 22 then you subtract 2 from both sides so you have x=20

Write the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10).

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$\displaystyle f(x)=x^2+2x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System Of Linear Equations </u>

In this problem, we'll need to solve a 3x3 system of linear equations because we have three unknowns and three conditions.

We are required to find the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10)

The general quadratic function can be written as

$\displaystyle f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

We need to find the values of a,b, and c. Let's use the first condition, i.e. f(-1)=1

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a(-1)^2+b(-1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a-b+c$

$\displaystyle a-b+c=1.....[eq\ 1]$

Now we use the second condition f(1)=5

$\displaystyle f(1)=a(1)^2+b(1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(1)=a+b+c$

$\displaystyle a+b+c=5.......[eq\ 2]$

Finally, we use the third condition f(2)=10

$\displaystyle f(2)=a(2)^2+b(2)+c$

$\displaystyle f(2)=4a+2b+c$

$\displaystyle 4a+2b+c=10....[eq\ 3]$

We put together eq 1, eq 2, and eq 3 to form the system

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a-b+c=1\\ a+b+c=5\\ 4a+2b+c=10\end{matrix}\right.$

Adding the first two equations we have

$\displaystyle 2a+2c=6$

$\displaystyle a+c=3$

And also

$\displaystyle b=2$

Using the above equation and the value of b in the third equation, we have

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a+c=3\\ 4a+c=6\end{matrix}\right.$

Subtracting the first equation from the second

$\displaystyle 3a=3$

$\displaystyle a=1$

And therefore

$\displaystyle c=2$

Now we have all the values, the quadratic function is

$\displaystyle \boxed{f(x)=x^2+2x+2}$

Graph the line that passes through the points (1, -9) and (1, -3) and determine

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is a vertical line with an equation of x = 1

y can be anything.

Draw (on graph paper) a dot at x = 1. Go down to - 3 and keep on going down to - 9. Then go up from x = 1. That's what this problem should give you.

Select the correct answer.

The rational expression that results into x-4/2(x+4) is<em> x²-16/2x+8 * x+4/x²+8x+16</em>

<h3>Multiplying rational expressions</h3>

Rational expressions are written in the form a/b where a and b are integers.

According to the question, we need to determine the expression that is equal to x-4/2(x+4)

From the fourth option;

x²-16/2x+8 * x+4/x²+8x+16

Factorize the quadratic part to have;

x²-16/2x+8 * x²+8x+16/x+4

(x+4)(x-4)/2(x+4) * x+4/(x+4)^2

Cancel out the common expression to have;

x-4 * 1/2(x+4)

x-4/2(x+4)

Hence the rational expression that results into x-4/2(x+4) is<em> x²-16/2x+8 * x+4/x²+8x+16</em>
