Ok, l = lewa's backpack and a= alai's. :)

1/2a -5 = l.
so to solve,
1/2 (36) - 5 = l.
18 - 5 = l.
13 = l. 

so Lewa's backpack weighs 13 pounds. Hope it helps!

one x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (2, 0). use the quadratic formula to find the other x-intercept for the parabola
omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 ways to find the other x intercept.

1) Polynomial Long Division.

Divide x^2 - 3x + 2 by the binomial x - 2, because by the Factor Theorem if a is a root of a polynomial then x - a is a factor of said polynomial.

2) Just solving for x when y = 0, by using the quadratic formula.

x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0\\x_{12} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(1)(2)}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm 1}{2} = 2, 1.

So the other x - intercept is at (1, 0)

3) Using Vietta's Theorem regarding the solutions of a quadratic

Namely, the sum of the solutions of a quadratic equation is equal to the quotient between the negative coefficient of the linear term divided by the coefficient of the quadratic term.

x_1 + x_2 = \frac{-b}{a}

And the product between the solutions of a quadratic equation is just the quotient between the constant term and the coefficient of the quadratic term.

x_1 \cdot x_2 = \frac{c}{a}

These relations between the solutions give us a brief idea of what the solutions should be like.

Prove : the graphs of the function f(x)=x4<br> and g(x)=x3-x2 have aunique intersection<br> point.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The unique intersection point for the given functions which is at x = 0.

The intersection point is (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

f(x) = x^4\\g(x) = x^3-x^2

We have to find the intersection point.

Equating the two equations we get,

x^4 = x^3 - x^2\\x^4 - x^3 + x^2 = 0\\x^2(x^2-x +1) = 0\\x^2 =0, x^2-x +1 = 0\\x = 0, x = 0, x^2-x +1=0

Since the quadratic equation gives complex root, thus there is a unique intersection point for the given functions which is x = 0.

The attached image shows the graph for the given function.

The red line represent f(x) and blue line represent g(x).

The intersection point is (0,0)
