1. vertex is -4 because:

x^2-8x-20,

a=1, b=-8 , c=-20

use vertex form! -b/2a = -8/2(1) = -8/2 = -4.

2. axis of symmatry is the x which is also -4. The same steps go for the second one.

3. y intercept, I think the answer is -20. Im not sure for this one.

Create and solve a system of equations for the following scenario: Luke and Leia are selling hot dogs and hamburgers at a minor

mixas84 [53]

So x + y = 45, and 4x + 5y = 195. Get y by itself. Subtract x from both sides in the first equation to get y = 45 -x, and subtract 4x from the second equation to get 5y = 195 - 4x. Divide by 5 to both sides to get y = 39 - 4/5x. 39 - 4/5x = 45 - x. Add x to both sides to get 39 - 1/5x = 45. Subtract 39 from both sides to get -1/5x = 6. Divide by -1/5 to get x = -30, or 30. In the first equation, do 30 + y = 45. Subtract 30 from both sides to get y = 15. Check. 4(30) + 15(5) = 195, or 120 + 75 = 195.

PLZZZZZZZzzz help i dont get it

Anna71 [15]

4/5-3/7. First they need the same denominater: 4/5(7)=28/35, 3/7(5)=15/35. 28/35-15/35. Now subtract numerators: 28-15=13. So your answer H. 13/35 :)

Solving a Two-Step Matrix Equation Solve the equation:

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$\boxed {x_{1} = 3}$

$\boxed {x_{2} = -4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following equation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2\\5&5\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1}\\x_{2}\\\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\2\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\-3\\\end{array}\right]$

-In order to solve a pair of equations by using substitution, you first need to solve one of the equations for one of variables and then you would substitute the result for that variable in the other equation:

-First equation:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2$

-Second equation:

$5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

-Choose one of the two following equations, which I choose the first one, then you solve for $x_{1}$ by isolating

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2$

-Subtract $1$ to both sides:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1$

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} = 1$

-Subtract $2x_{2}$ to both sides:

$3x_{1} + 2x_{2} - 2x_{2} = -2x_{2} + 1$

$3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1$

-Divide both sides by $3$ :

$3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1$

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)$

-Multiply $-2x_{2} + 1$ by $\frac{1}{3}$ :

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)$

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$

-Substitute $-\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3}$ for $x_{1}$ in the second equation, which is $5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$ :

$5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

Multiply $-\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3}$ by $5$ :

$5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

-Combine like terms:

$-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3$

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} = -3$

-Subtract $\frac{11}{3}$ to both sides:

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} - \frac{11}{3} = -3 - \frac{11}{3}$

$\frac{5}{3}x_{2} = -\frac{20}{3}$

-Multiply both sides by $\frac{5}{3}$ :

$\frac{\frac{5}{3}x_{2}}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}$

$\boxed {x_{2} = -4}$

-After you have the value of $x_2$ , substitute for $x_{2}$ onto this equation, which is $x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$ :

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}$

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}$

-Multiply $-\frac{2}{3}$ and $-4$ :

$x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}$

$x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}$

-Since both $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{8}{3}$ have the same denominator, then add the numerators together. Also, after you have added both numerators together, reduce the fraction to the lowest term:

$x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}$

$x_{1} = \frac{9}{3}$

$\boxed {x_{1} = 3}$

During the afternoon, and 18 foot tall tree casts a shadow 25 feet long. What is the approximate andle of elevation from the end

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

a tree casts a 25-foot shadow on sunny day. If the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree is 32 degree, what is the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Tan(32)=H/25

0.624869=H/25

H=.624869 X 25

H=15.6 feet-Height of the tree.
