Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Take out 4:
4(x^2-8x)-12
=4(x^2-8x+16-16)-12
=4(x^2-8x+16)-64-12
=4(x^2-4)^2 - 76
=
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the variation is proportional dividing the y-value by the x-value will give the same result for all table entries. That quotient is the constant of variation (k).
Here 6.4/4 = 11.2/7 = 16/10 = 20.8/13 = 1.6
The value of y varies directly as x, and the constant of variation is 1.6. The equation is ...
y = 1.6x
11 centimeters is the length of the launch pad
4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope!
(-8,5) (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]
10 - 5 5
--------- = ----- = 1
-3-(-8) 5
Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b
Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]
y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b SUBSTITUTE
10=-3+b MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3 +3 ADD
----------
13=b SIMPLIFY
So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13
y=1x+13 is our final answer.
5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2)
We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope!
--> y=-1/3x-1
Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:
y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y- -4=-3+b intercept of our perpendicular equation.
+3 +3 ADD
--------
-1=b SIMPLIFY
So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)
6) I don't know, sorry! :(
