Hi there! :)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{y = -1/4, 1/2.}

Given the equation:

8y² - 2y - 1 = 0

Find two numbers that multiply into -1 and sum up to -2. Remember, the 8 as the leading coefficient must be taken into account.

After guessing and checking, we get:

(4y + 1) (2y - 1) = 0

Use the Zero-Product Property to solve for y:

4y + 1 =

4y = -1

y = -1/4

--------------

2y - 1 = 0

2y = 1

y = 1/2

Therefore, solutions to this equation are:

y = -1/4, 1/2.

HELP PLEASE!!!Describe the change in the graph of the parabola f(x) when it transforms into g(x) =1/2f(x)
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

These are transformations. One thing to remember is that only a sign change (like a negative sign on the new function) will change the direction in which the parabola opens.

Here, going from f(x) to 1/2 * f(x) has no sign change, so the parabola will open in the same direction as before. Eliminate A and C.

Vertical transformations are those that are done to the entire function, as opposed to horizontal transformations which are done only on the x. Here, since we're multiplying 1/2 to f(x), we have a vertical transformation.

There are different transformations. The one here would be a vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2. Vertically shrinking a function is basically the same as compressing it, which would make it wider.

The answer is thus D.

A man can walk from A to B and back in a certain time at 7 km/hr.If he walks from A to B at 8 km/hr and returns from B to A at 6
DerKrebs [107]
We calculate the speed by dividing the distance over time:
s = d/t
So the distance described in the problem is always the same, A to B and B to A.
But we are told that;
7 = d/t
7 = 2d/(t + 2)
that is, the first equation say that at speed 7 km/h a distance d is walked in a time t
the second equation say that at a average speed of 7 (that is 8 on one way and 6 in the other: 8 + 6 = 14, half of it), twice the distance is walked in a time equal to the first time plus 2 minutes.
So we have a system of linear equations, 2 of them with two unknowns, we can solve that:
7 = d/t
7 = 2d/(t + 2<span>)
</span>lets simplify them:
7t = d
7(t + 2) = 2d
7t = 2d - 14
we substitute the first in the second:
<span>7t = 2d - 14
</span><span>7t = d
</span>so:
d = 2d - 14
d = 14
so the distance between A and B is 14 km
