Answer:

The positive difference between the a values is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Both parabolas cross the x axis at (-4,0) and (6,0)

so

The general equation is

y=a(x+4)(x-6)

<em>Find the value of a in the first parabola</em>

The y-intercept is (0,-12)

so

For x=0, y=-12

substitute

y=a(x+4)(x-6)

-12=a(0+4)(0-6)

-12=a(-24)

a=0.5

<em>Find the value of a in the second parabola</em>

The y-intercept is (0,-24)

so

For x=0, y=-24

substitute

y=a(x+4)(x-6)

-24=a(0+4)(0-6)

-24=a(-24)

a=1

<em>Find the positive difference between the a values for the two functions</em>

so

1-0.5=0.5

What is the equation of the line that passes through point (4, 12) and has a y-intercept of —2?
zmey [24]

Answer:

<h2>y = 3.5x - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

<h3>y = mx + b</h3>

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have y-intercept b = -2. Substitute:

<h3>y = mx - 2</h3>

We have the point (4, 12) → x = 4, y = 12. Put them in the equation:

12 = 4m - 2         <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

14 = 4m       <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

14/4 = m → m = 3.5

Find mZ3 if mZ5 = 145º and mZ4 = 45°
trapecia [35]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  100°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

  ∠5 = ∠3 +∠4

  145° = ∠3 +45° . . . . fill in the given values

  100° = ∠3 . . . . . . subtract 45° from both sides

What’s the answer to 10a - 13a being factored
solmaris [256]

Answer:

a(10 - 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

The only common factor between these numbers is a, as 10 and 13 do not share factors (13 is prime). We can only factor out a.
