<h3>Answer: -6, 7, -8</h3>

Start with the sequence {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...}

Then change the sign of every other term so you'll have the first term positive, the second term negative, and so on.

That updates to {1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, 7, -8, ...}

Every odd term (1,3,5,..) is positive while every even term (-2,-4,-6) is negative.

Find the Perimeter of this shape. Can someone explain to me how to find the perimeter.

Agata [3.3K]

The little lines in each side show that the sides are the same length but you also need to find the length of the smaller side which isn’t the same. For this imagine that the shape is split into a square and a triangle and you need to find the long side of the triangle using Pythagoras
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 + 20^2 = 800
Square root of 800 = 28.3
Then do 28.3-20=8.3
So I think the answer is 20+20+20+20+20+8.3=108.3 cm

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. -2x^2-x+7=0.

Furkat [3]

-2x^2-x+7=0
Variable with the highest degree's (exponent) constant, -2 is a, next variable's constant, -1 is b, the constant or number without a variable, 7 is c

using substitution put the numbers into the formula
(-b±√(b^(2)-4ac))/(a^(2))

(-(-1)±√((-1)^(2)-4(-2)(7))/((-2)^(2)) simplify

(1±√(1+56))/4

1±√(57)/4 is your answer

Could someone help me rnnn?

Answer:

vertex = (0, -4)

equation of the parabola: $y=3x^2-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y-intercept of parabola: -4
parabola passes through points: (-2, 8) and (1, -1)

Vertex form of a parabola: $y=a(x-h)^2+k$

(where (h, k) is the vertex and $a$ is some constant)

Substitute point (0, -4) into the equation:

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{At}\:(0,-4) \implies a(0-h)^2+k &=-4\\ah^2+k &=-4\end{aligned}$

Substitute point (-2, 8) and $ah^2+k=-4$ into the equation:

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{At}\:(-2,8) \implies a(-2-h)^2+k &=8\\a(4+4h+h^2)+k &=8\\4a+4ah+ah^2+k &=8\\\implies 4a+4ah-4&=8\\4a(1+h)&=12\\a(1+h)&=3\end{aligned}$

Substitute point (1, -1) and $ah^2+k=-4$ into the equation:

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{At}\:(1.-1) \implies a(1-h)^2+k &=-1\\a(1-2h+h^2)+k &=-1\\a-2ah+ah^2+k &=-1\\\implies a-2ah-4&=-1\\a(1-2h)&=3\end{aligned}$

Equate to find h:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a(1+h) &=a(1-2h)\\1+h &=1-2h\\3h &=0\\h &=0\end{aligned}$

Substitute found value of h into one of the equations to find a:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a(1+0) &=3\\a &=3\end{aligned}$

Substitute found values of h and a to find k:

$\begin{aligned}\implies ah^2+k&=-4\\(3)(0)^2+k &=-4\\k &=-4\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the equation of the parabola in vertex form is:

$\implies y=3(x-0)^2-4=3x^2-4$

So the vertex of the parabola is (0, -4)

PLEASE HELP IM BEING TIMED!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER!!! 100PTS!!!

Answer:

B and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when we added the two functions together, we get:

$h(x)=-x+9$

However, when we multiplied them together, we get:

$j(x)=-9x$

Let's first consider what we can determine from this.

If we add them together, we get a linear equation. However, this doesn't mean that our two original functions are linear since if we have, say, -x^2 and x^2-x+9, they will cancel and form a linear equation if we add them together.

However, since we know that if we multiply the two functions together, we get a linear equation, this means that both our original functions must be linear.

But, if we multiplied two linear functions, then we should get a quadratic, since x times x will yield x².

Therefore, this means that one of our linear functions is a horizontal line with no x variable. This is the only way to have a linear equation when multiplied.

Therefore, we have determined that both of our original functions are linear functions, and one (only one of them) is a horizontal line.

Let's go through each of the answer choices.

A) Both functions must be quadratic.

This is false as we determined earlier. If this was true, then the resulting function should be a quartic and not a line. A is false.

B) Both functions must have a constant rate of change.

Remember that all linear equations have a constant rate of change.

Since we determined that both our original functions are linear equation, this means that both our functions will have a constant rate of change.

So, B is true.

C) Both functions must have a y-intercept of 0.

Remember that one of our functions is a horizontal line.

If the y-intercept was 0, then the equation of our horizontal line will be:

$y=0$

And we know that anything multiplied by 0 will give us 0. However, the product of our function is -9x.

So, C cannot be true.

Rather, only our linear equation (not the horizontal line) may have a y-intercept of 0.

D) The rate of change of either f(x) or g(x) must be 0.

Remember that we determined that one of our lines must a horizontal.

Remember that horizontal lines have a slope of 0. In other words, the rate of change is 0.

So, D is true.

E) The y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x) must be opposites.

Well, since B and D is are true, this must be false since we can only select two options ;D

But, we can think about this. Note that if we multiply the two functions, we have a function without a y-intercept.

Remember that our horizontal line is not 0. So, the y-intercept of the horizontal line is a number.

So, the opposite of a number is another number.

So, if we multiply two non-zero numbers, we must get another number.

However, from our product, j(x)=-9x, we don't have another number. The y-intercept from this is 0.

Therefore, the two y-intercepts cannot be opposites of each other. If it was so, then we should have a y-intercept. So, E must be false.

In fact, this means that the y-intercept of our line (not the horizontal one) must be 0.

So, our answers are B and D.

And we're done!

Edit: Some (minor) errors in reasoning. Sorry!
