How do you solve the equation y-3=-¼(x+3)

1 answer:

8 0

Because you have two variables and only one equation, you can only solve for approximate answers, and not complete, absolute answers.

<h3><u>You can simplify this equation to x = -4y + 12</u></h3>

y - 3 = -1/4(x + 3)

Distributive property.

y - 3 = -1/4x - 3/4

Multiply all terms by 4.

4y - 12 = -x

Multiply all terms by -1

-4y + 12 = x

What is the solution to the equation

Dafna11 [192]

$\sqrt{4t+5}=3-\sqrt{t+5}\\\\D:4t+5\geq0\ \wedge\ t+5\geq0\ \wedge\ \sqrt{t+5}\leq3\\\\t\geq-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \wedge\ t\geq-5\ \wedge\ t\leq6$

therefore
$D:x\in\left< -\dfrac{5}{4};\ 6\right>$

$\sqrt{4t+5}=3-\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ |^2\\\\(\sqrt{4t+5})^2=(3-\sqrt{t+5})^2\ \ \ |use:(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\4t+5=3^2-2\cdot3\cdot\sqrt{t+5}+(\sqrt{t+5})^2\\\\4t+5=9-6\sqrt{t+5}+t+5\ \ \ \ |-t\\\\3t+5=14-6\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |-14\\\\3t-9=-6\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |change\ signs$
$9-3t=6\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |:3\\\\3-t=2\sqrt{t+5}\ \ \ \ |^2\\\\(3-t)^2=(2\sqrt{t+5})^2\\\\3^2-2\cdot3\cdot t+t^2=4(t+5)\\\\9-6t+t^2=4t+20\ \ \ |-4t-20\\\\t^2-10t-11=0\\\\t^2+t-11t-11=0\\\\t(t+1)-11(t+1)=0\\\\(t+1)(t-11)=0\iff t+1=0\ \vee\ t-11=0\\\\t=-1\in D\ \vee\ t=11\notin D$
Answer: t = -1.

Given: the function defined by f(x)=3x^2-4 Which statement is true? 1. f(0) = 0 2. f(-2) = f(2) 3. f(5)+ f(2) = f(7) 4. f(5) x f

sergeinik [125]

$f(x)=3x^2-4 \\ \Downarrow \\ f(0)=3 \times 0^2-4=0-4=-4 \\ -4 \not= 0 \\ f(0) \not= 0 \\
\hbox{statement 1 is false} \\ \\
f(-2)=3 \times (-2)^2-4 =3 \times 4-4=12-4=8 \\
f(2)=3 \times 2^2-4=3 \times 4-4=12-4=8 \\ 8=8
\\ f(-2)=f(2) \\
\hbox{statement 2 is true}$

$f(5)=3 \times 5^2-4=3 \times 25-4=75-4=71 \\ f(2)=8 \\
f(7)=3 \times 7^2-4=3 \times 49-4=147-4=143 \\
71+8 \not= 143 \\
f(5)+f(2) \not= f(7) \\ \hbox{statement 3 is false} \\ \\
f(5)=71 \\ f(2)=8 \\ f(10)=3 \times 10^2-4=3 \times 100-4=300-4=296 \\
71 \times 8 \not= 296 \\
f(5) \times f(2) \not= f(10) \\
\hbox{statement 4 is false}$

Stamement 2. f(-2)=f(2) is true.
