Solve for x, x^2-3x-5=0

1 answer:

7 0

Okay so for this one, we have to isolate our X.Lets start by moving the negative 5 on the other side of the equal sign. Remember to not mix a number that is with an X with a normal number (in this case it would be the -3x and the -5). So in putting our -5 on the other sign it becomes positive. Here’s what we have: x^2-3x=5. x^2 is the same thing as 2x.So now you have to minus 3x off of your 2x. This gives us -1x, but can just be put as -x. So now we have -x=5. You’re answer could either be 5 or -5 if you decided to divide it by -1 seeing as your -x is technically -1.

Expand to write an equivalent expression: -1/4(-8x+12y)

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

8x -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property. 16 outside wishes to go inside and multiply each term; you get 16x/2 which is 8x minus ¾ of 16 which is 12.

Tell whether each graph is a function and justify your answer. Which graph is not a good representation of a real-world situati

mina [271]

Using the function concept, it is found that:

Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.

In a function, one value of the input can be related to only one value of the output.

In a graph, it means that for each value of x(horizontal axis), there can be only one respective value of y(vertical axis).

In this problem, at Graph A, when x = 5, for example a vertical line crosses the function 3 times, hence there are 3 respective values of y for x = 5, and the same is valid for other values of x, hence it is not a function.

At Graph B, for each value of x, there is only one value of y, hence it is a function.

Hence:

Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.

When drawn in standard position, in which quadrant does the terminal side of the angle −240° lie?

valina [46]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles are positive when measured counterclockwise from the x-axis.

Terminal side of 240° degrees when measures counterclockwise will lie in the 3rd quadrant.

But the angle is -240°.

That means angle is being measured clockwise from the x-axis.

Therefore, terminal side of the of the angle will be in the 2nd quadrant.

Option (2) will be the correct option.
