Answer:

solve for x

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x2-20x-17=-53

reorder like terms x2= 2x 2x=20x-17=-53

collect like terms 2x-20x=-18x -18x-17=-53

move constant to the right hand side and change its sign -18x=-53+17

calculate the sum -53+17= -36 -18x=-36

divide both sides by -18 -18x÷-18= x -36÷-18=2

x=2

How do you find the total sum of squared values?

tester [92]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sum^{12}_{r=1} r^2 = \frac{12(12+1)(2*12+1)}{6}= A$

$\sum_{r=3}^{12}= \sum_{r=1}^{12} - (r_1+r_2)$

$r_1= 1^2$

$r_2= 2^2$

you do your math!!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,7) and is parallel to the line y= -2x-1

Nuetrik [128]

if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore, $\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-2}x-1$ has a slope of -2.

now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope = m\implies -2\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=-2[x-(-1)]\\\\\\y-7=-2(x+1)\implies y-7=-2x-2\implies y=-2x+5$
