What are the zeros of the function represented by the quadratic expression 2x^2-5x-3

1 answer:

3 0

2x2-5x-3=0

Two solutions were found :

x = -1/2 = -0.500

x = 3

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

(2x2 - 5x) - 3 = 0

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     Factoring  2x2-5x-3

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -3

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -3 = -6

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -6  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

If it is a rigid motion identify the type of transformation Help please

wel

A transformation is rigid if the original shape remains the same shape and size after the transformation.

Flipping a pancake:
After it is flipped, the pancake should stay the same size and shape, so it is a rigid motion and it is a rotation.

Deflating an air mattress:
Deflating a mattress changes its size, so the transformation is not rigid. This is called a dilation.

Moving a clock's minute hand:
Moving the minute hand does not change the hand's size or shape so the transformation is rigid. This transformation is a combination of a translation and a rotation. The translation is what moves the hand around the center of the clock, and the rotation is what changes the direction of the hand.

Enlarging a photo:
Enlarging a photo changes the photo's size, so this transformation is not rigid. This is called dilation.

Putting a golf ball:
Putting does not change the size or shape of a golf ball, so this transformation is rigid. Putting a golf ball both rotates and moves the ball, so the transformation is rotation and translation.

Looking in a car's rear view mirror:
Assuming the car is moving relative to something behind it(because otherwise there would be no transformation), As things come closer to the back of the car, they would appear larger in the mirror, and as things move away from the back of the car, they would appear smaller in the mirror. Because the size changes when looking at the mirror, this is not a rigid transformation and is called dilation.

Find the missing segment.

Bond [772]

Answer:

? = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar because of the AA Theorem.

The larger triangle's side that is equal to 9 + 3 corresponds to the smaller triangle's side length of 9, while the larger triangle's 21 + ? side corresponds to the smaller triangle's 21 side. Now, we can set up a proportion!

$\frac{9}{9+3} =\frac{21}{21 + ?}$
