Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180 degrees. Therefore,

Angle XYZ + angle MYZ = 180

Angle XYZ + 115 = 180

Angle XYZ = 180 - 115 = 65 degrees

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. It means that

Angle XZY + angle YXZ + angle MYZ = 180

Therefore,

4k + 5 + 6k + 10 + 65 = 180

4k + 6k + 5 + 10 + 65 = 180

10k + 80 = 180

10k = 180 - 80 = 100

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 10, it becomes

10k/10 = 100/10

k = 10

The line x = k intersects the graph of the parabola x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5 at exactly one point. What is k? Thank you! :)

Answer:

49/8 is the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system

x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5

x=k

We want to find k such that the system intersects once.

If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.

This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.

Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.

Subtracting k on both sides gives

0=-2y^2-3y+5-k

The discriminant can be found by evaluating

b^2-4ac.

Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that

a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.

So we want to solve the following equation for k:

(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0

9+8(5-k)=0

Distribute:

9+40-8k=0

49-8k=0

Add 8k on both sides:

49=8k

Divide both sides by 8"

49/8=k

Translate to an algebraic statement. "The quotient of twice a number and 7 is 20."

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Translation: 2x/7 = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

When we listen to the word "quotient", it means the solution to a division problem.
An unknown number that has been multiplied by 2 is in the numerator because it came before the 7 in the statement.
The number "7" is in the denominator because it came after the 2x in the statement.
The word "is" represents an equal sign.
The solution to the division problem (quotient) is 20.

If we put these clues together, we get 2x/7 = 20 as our translated equation.

Hence, our algebraic statement is 2x/7 = 20. The key is to listen to the statement.
