f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 1

g(x) = -(1/4) ( x - 4)^2 + 4

both the x and y values have to be the same. Start with the y values

f(x) = g(x)

(x - 4)^2 - 1 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 4 Add 1 to both sides.

(x - 4)^2 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 5 Add 1/4(x - 4)^2 to both sides.

(5/4) (x - 4)^2 = 5 Divide by 5/4 on both sides.

(x - 4)^2 = 5//(5/4)

(x - 4)^2 = (5/1)//5/4 Invert the second fraction and multiply

(x - 4)^2 = 5/1 * 4/5

(x - 4)^2 = 4 The 5s cancel

(x - 4)^2 = 4 Take the square root of both sides.

(x - 4) = +/- 2 Add 4 to each answer. Start with +2 on the right.

x - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4

x = 4 + 2 = 6

The x value that makes f(x)- g(x) = 0 is x = 6 The point is (6,3) answer.

Answer C.

================================================

You do not need this next part. It is just for completeness.

x - 4 = - 2

x = 4 -2

x = 2

What are the y values for these 2 x values?

y = (x - 4)^2 - 1

y = (6 - 4)^2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

The point where f(x) - g(x) = 0 is (6,3) <<<<<< Answer 1

The second point is

y = (x - 4)^2 - 1

y = (2 - 4)^2 - 1

y = (-2)^2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

The second point is (2,3). Answer 2

Note the y values are the same. You might expect that.

You can let q = (x-4)². Then you have

... f(q) = q - 1

... g(q) = -q/4 + 4

Putting these into the equation f - g = 0 gives you

...q - 1 - (-q/4 + 4) = 0

... (5/4)q = 5 . . . . collect terms, add 5

... q = (4/5)·5 = 4 . . . . multiply by the inverse of the q coefficient

Relating this back to x, you have

... (x -4)² = 4

... x - 4 = ±2 . . . . take the square root

... x = 4 ± 2 = {2, 6} . . . . . . add 4 to find x (there are two solutions)

The appropriate choice is

... (C) 6

what would it be if the sum of six consecutive even numbers is 130 what would the 2nd number be in the sequence PLZ HELP
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{Second\ Number = 42}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive even numbers be x,x+2,x+4, x+ 6, x+ 8 and x+10

So, the given condition is:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10 = 270

6x + 30 = 270

Subtracting both sides by 30

6x = 270 - 30

6x = 240

Dividing both sides by 6

x = 40

So,

First Number = x = 40

Second Number = x+2 = 40+2 = 42

Third Number = x+4 = 40+4 = 44

Fourth Number = x+6 = 40+6 = 46

Fifth Number = x+8 = 40+8 = 48

Sixth Number = x+10 = 40+10 = 50

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

y= 8x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>slope-intercept form:</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the gradient (or slope) and c is the y-intercept.

Since it is a linear function, the gradient of any 2 points would be equal.

gradient =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}

Thus, gradient of the line

=  \frac{39 - 23}{4 - 2}  \\  =  \frac{16}{2}  \\  = 8

Subst. m=8 into the equation:

y= 8x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x=0, y= 7,

7= 8(0) +c

c= 7

Thus, the equation of the linear function is y= 8x +7.

What is the answer to the length of a rectangle is 5 feet more then the width and the perimeter is 22 what is is width of the re
Margaret [11]
Question:
l = 5 + w
perimeter = 22
width?

Solution:
Perimeter = 22
2(l + w)     = 22
2(5+w+w) = 22
2 (5 + 2w) = 22
     5 + 2w = 11
           2w = 6
             w = 3

The width is 3
