Answer:

  b = 17

  ∠QPS = 124°

  ∠SPT = 17°

  ∠TPR = 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The sum of the three angles shown is a linear angle, with a measure of 180°.

This fact can be used to write an equation:

  (8b -12)° +b° +(2b+5)° = 180°

  11b -7 = 180

  11b = 187

  b = 17

  8b -12 = 8(17) -12 = 124

  2b +5 = 2(17) +5 = 39

The value of b is 17.

The angle measures are ...

  ∠QPS = 124°

  ∠SPT = 17°

  ∠TPR = 39°

Determine if the functions are even, odd or neither. f(x) = -5x4 - 2 and g(x) = x3 + 2x
Setler [38]
Try this option:
the rule: if f(-x)=f(x), then the function f(x) is even, if f(-x)=-f(x) then the function is odd.
1. f(x)=-5x⁴-2;
if to substitute x→(-x), then f(-x)=-5*(-x)⁴-2; ⇔ f(-x)=-5x⁴-2, in other words f(x)=f(-x), it means that this function is even.
2. f(x)=x³+2x.
if to substitute x→(-x), then f(-x)=(-x)³+2*(-x); ⇔ f(-x)=-(x³+2x), in other words f(-x)=-f(x), it means that this function is odd.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs not all tiles will be used match each quadratic graph to its respectiv
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Part 1) The function of the First graph is f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)

Part 2) The function of the Second graph is f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)

Part 3) The function of the Third graph is f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)

See the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

f(x)=a(x-c)(x-d)

where

a is the leading coefficient

c and d are the roots or zeros of the function

Part 1) First graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-1 and x=3

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

f(x)=a(x-3)(x+1)

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (1,-4)

substitute and solve for a

-4=a(1-3)(1+1)

-4=a(-2)(2)

a=1

therefore

The function is equal to

f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)

Part 2) Second graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-3 and x=1

The parabola open down, so the leading coefficient a is negative

The function is equal to

f(x)=a(x-1)(x+3)

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (-1,8)

substitute and solve for a

8=a(-1-1)(-1+3)

8=a(-2)(2)

a=-2

therefore

The function is equal to

f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)

Part 3) Third graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-2 and x=6

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

f(x)=a(x-6)(x+2)

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (2,-8)

substitute and solve for a

-8=a(2-6)(2+2)

-8=a(-4)(4)

a=0.5

therefore

The function is equal to

f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)

Percy solved the equation x2 + 7x + 12 = 12. His work is shown below. Is Percy correct? Explain.
antoniya [11.8K]
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12

= > x² + ( 4 + 3 )x + 12 = 12

= > x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = 12

= > x( x + 4 ) + 3( x + 4 ) = 12

= > ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 12


Percy did correct till this step. But by doing like this, Percy can't get the values of the variable x.



Percy should follow the following steps :

= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12


Add -12 on both sides,


= > x² + 7x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12

= > x² + 7x = 0

= > x( x + 7 ) = 0

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x + 7 = 0 )

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x = - 7 )



Hence, required value(s) of x is 0 or -7

Please answer and use statement reason
masha68 [24]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

FD and AC are parallel because both are perpendicular to EB. Angle EDF and Angle DCA are congruent because they are corresponding angles. The measure of Angle DCA is also 3x because congruent angles have the same measure.

Now consider Triangle ACD. Because the sum of all three measures of the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

x + 8x + 3x = 180°

12x = 180°

12x/12 = 180/12

x = 15

Systems of equations and inequalities<br> solving systems by elimination<br> {y= -x+1<br> {y= 4x-14
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

x = 3  , y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = 1 - x | (equation 1)

y = 4 x - 14 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{x + y = 1 | (equation 1)

-(4 x) + y = -14 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(4 x) + y = -14 | (equation 1)

x + y = 1 | (equation 2)

Add 1/4 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(4 x) + y = -14 | (equation 1)

0 x+(5 y)/4 = (-5)/2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 4/5:

{-(4 x) + y = -14 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-(4 x)+0 y = -12 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -4:

{x+0 y = 3 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 3  , y = -2
