Solve y=x2-5 for x.

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: x=+/- square root of y+5 (A, i think this one kinda confused me)

y=x^2-5
substitute y for 0
0=x^2-5
subtract x^2 on both sides
-x^2=-5
since they both can be negative and positive change signs to positive to be easier
x^2=5
square root both sides
x=+/- square root of 5

write an equation for the line that passes through the point (8,3) and parallel to -4x+8y=23. Use slope-intercept form.

kvasek [131]

(1/2)x+b=y because the equation that given the slope is 1/2 if you leave y alone and take the x’s number

put the point now , 4+b=3 so b is -1

the equation is (1/2)x-1=y

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?

12345 [234]

Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

The slope of the line, m, is -2 because the line shows a negative trend and moves right 1 unit every time a point moves down 2 units.

The y-intercept, b, is 5 because the line crosses that number once on the y-axis.

Simplify and Evaluate

zalisa [80]

$\dfrac{2^{-1} + 5^{-1}}{10^{-1} - 5^{-2}} =$

$= \dfrac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{5^2}}$

$=\dfrac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{25}}$

$=\dfrac{\frac{5}{10} + \frac{2}{10}}{\frac{5}{50} - \frac{2}{50}}$

$=\dfrac{\frac{7}{10}}{\frac{3}{50}}$

$= \frac{7}{10} \times \frac{50}{3}$

$= \frac{7}{1} \times \frac{5}{3}$

$= \frac{35}{3}$
