Answer:

$x = \frac{21}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x − 3(x+9) + 10 = 4

5x + (−3)(x) + (−3)(9) + 10 = 4 (Distribute)

5x + −3x + −27 + 10 = 4

(5x+−3x) + (−27+10) = 4 (Combine Like Terms)

2x + −17 = 4

2x − 17 = 4

Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.

2x − 17 + 17 = 4 + 17

2x = 21

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{21}{2}$

$x =\frac{21}{2}$

Hope it helps!!

Describe the sequence of transformations that would take the graph of f(x)=x² to each parabola described below. Focus: (1/4,0),d

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The parabola obtained is x=y²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the focus (1/4,0) and directrix: x=-1/4

A point on the parabola is determined by the distance of that point with the focus and with the directrix:

Distance between the parabola and the directrix: $\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{4})^{2} }$

Distance between the parabola and the focus: $\sqrt{(x-\frac{1}{4})^{2} +(y-0)^{2} }$

$\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{4})^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{(x-\frac{1}{4})^{2} +(y-0)^{2} }$

$(x+\frac{1}{4})^{2}$ = $(x-\frac{1}{4})^{2} +(y-0)^{2}$

$x^2+\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{16} = x^2-\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{16} + y^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} x=-\frac{1}{2} x + y^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{2} x = y^{2}$

x=y²
