Hello,

x²+2*3x+3²+7-9=0
==>(x+3)²-2=0
==>(x+3-√2)(x+3+√2)=0
==> x=-3+√2 or x=-3-√2

Mental math is something that can be done i your head.

for example you can do 1+1 in your head and you dont need a calculator or paper to do it so i would be called mental math

Hope this helps

remember if you ever need anything and you dont want to waste points you can just post it on my pfp or message me the question

Write the equation of each line using the given information.

Leni [432]

a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3>Solution:</h3>

a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

$y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)$

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

$y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))$

On solving we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}$

b.) m= -1 and the point (2, -1) lies on the line

The equation of line in point slope form is y – b = m(x – a)

where m is slope and (a, b) is a point on it

Here m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, -1)

Thus the required equation is:

y – (-1) = -1(x - 2)

y + 1 = -x + 2

y = -x + 2 -1

y = -x + 1

c. )It has the same slope as y = 5 and passes through (1, 1)

our line has same slope with y = 5, then our equation would be y = k and it passes through (x, y) = (1, 1) so, then by substitution

1 = k

k =1

Then our equation will be y = k

y = 1

d. ) m= -3 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8)

line equation in slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y – intercept.

Then, our equation will be y = -3x + 8

We took y- intercept = 8 as it is the value of y when x = 0
