EQUATION: 5x = 2x - 9
Add 9 to both sides
NEW EQUATION: 5x + 9 = 2x
Subtact 5x from both sides:
NEW EQUATION: 9 = -3x
Divide -x on bith sides
NEW EQUATION: -3 = x, or x=-3

Find the x-intercepts for the parabola defined by the equation below. y = x2 - 9x + 18
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercepts of the parabola are the solutions of the equation. These points can be determined either by graphical method or by solving the quadratic equation with any of the methods of solving a quadratic equation.

In order to use the graphical method, values of x are picked and substituted into the equation to get corresponding values of y. The y values are plotted against the x axis and the parabola (downward) is drawn. The points where it cuts the horizontal axis become the solutions of the equation

y = x^2 - 9x + 18

Solving the equation by using the factorization method,

x^2 - 9x + 18 = 0

x^2 - 6x - 3x + 18 = 0

x(x-6)-3(x-6)

(x-6)(x-3) = 0

x -6 = 0 or x -3 = 0

x = 6 or x = 3

The x-intercepts are (3, 0) and (6, 0)

What value of x is in the solution set of 9(2x + 1) &lt; 9x - 18? <br> -4<br> -3<br> -2<br> -1
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The only possible answer that is correct is the first one, x = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the given inequality as much as possible, and then substitute each of the given x values one by one to determine which is in the solution set.

9(2x + 1) < 9x - 18 becomes 18x + 9 < 9x - 18, which, if reduced by dividing all four terms by 9, becomes 2x + 1 < x - 2.

Simplifying further, we get x < - 3.  The only possible answer that is correct is the first one, x = -4.  -4 < -3 is true.

What is the argument of -5\sqrt{3}+ 5i?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

150 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Graphing the complex number we see the angle terminates in the second quadrant. This means the argument, the angle, will be between 90 degrees and 180 degrees.

So if we create a right triangle with that point after graphing it. We see the height of that triangle is 5 because that is the imaginary part. The base of that triangle has length 5\sqrt{3}. The problem is this doesn't give us any part of the angle we want, but it does give us the complementary of the part of the angle that is in second quadrant.

Let's find the complementary angle.

So the opposite side of the complementary angle is 5.

The adjacent side of the complementary angle is 5\sqrt{3}.

\tan(\theta)=\frac{5}{5\sqrt{3}}

\tan(\theta)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})

\theta=30

So 90-30=60.

The answer therefore 60+90=150.

What is 12/42 when you simplify it 
VashaNatasha [74]
First of all, to simplify a number/fraction, you must find a common multiple.
Both 12 and 42 is divisible by 6
\frac{12}{42}=\frac{2}{7} since 6 goes into 12, two times and goes into 42, 7 times. The answer is \frac{2}{7} when simplified.
