A)5/2 is the answer.
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
6 0
(1/2)x² - (5/4)x - 3 = 0

0.5x² - 1.25x - 3 = 0

Comparing to the quadratic function, ax² + bx + c = 0,    
a = 0.5,  b = -1.2,  c = -3.

Sum of roots = -b/a   =    -(-1.25)/0.5 =    1.25/0.5 = 2.5

2.5 = 5/2  Option (a)

Determine weather each table represents a linear, quadratic, or exponential function.
solong [7]

Answer:

A: Exponential

B: Quadratic

C: Linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We will closely inspect each Table and find the difference between each "Y" value at every unit increase in "x" value:

Table A:

 X            Y              ΔY/ΔX

 1             5               xxxxxx              Exponential because [ ΔY/ΔX ]          

 2            11              11 - 5 = 6            increases at the fastest rate out of all

 3           29             29 - 11 = 18         functions.

 4           83             83 - 29 = 54

 5           245          254 - 83 = 171

 6           731           731 - 254 = 477

Table B:

 X            Y                 ΔY/ΔX            Δ^2Y/ΔX^2          

 0             5                 xxxxxx              xxx             Quadratic because

 1              7                 7 - 5 = 2            xxx            Δ^2Y/ΔX^2 is a constant

 2             13               13 - 7 = 6           6-2 = 4       for all quadratic functions

 3             23              23 - 13 = 10       10-6 = 4

 4             37              37 - 23 = 14       14-10 = 4

 5             55             55 - 37 = 18        18-14 = 4

Table C:

 X            Y                 ΔY/ΔX                      

 3             20               xxxxxx                 Linear because

 6             18                 2 / 3                    ΔY/ΔX is a constant

 9             16                 2 / 3                   for all linear functions

 15            12                 2 / 3      

 27            4                  8/12 = 2/3      

 39           -4                  8/12 = 2/3

Which value for x makes the open sentence true. 4•3 -2x < X2 -2
Angelina_Jolie [31]
First subtract 12 from both sides, then subtract 2x from both sides, multiply both sides by -1, then divide by 4.  

x > 3.5

Rewrite equation to solve for m 4n-6m=-2
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4n - 6m = - 2              Subtract 4n from both sides.

4n-4n - 6m = -2-4n

-6m = - 2 - 4n             Divide by - 6

-6m/-6= -2/-6 -4n/-6  Do the division

m = 1/3 + 2n/3

The signs change because each term has 2 minus signs. 2 minus signs make a plus. Or both minus signs cancel.

50 POINTS! Plot function h on the graph.<br><br> NO LINKS
tangare [24]

See attachment for the graph of the piecewise function h(x)

<h3>How to plot the function?</h3>

The function is given as:

h(x) = | -4,    x < 3

         | x + 5,    x >= 3

The above function is a piecewise function.

It has 2 separate functions at two domains

This means that we plot the sub-functions in the piecewise function at their respective domain

See attachment for the graph of the piecewise function h(x)
