X=84° because the 84 above it and x are corresponding angles
if a b 9 are in GP
b÷a = 9 ÷ b
b^2 = 9a
if a - 1 b 9 are in AP
2b = a+8
b = a+8÷2
substitute
b is equal to a + 8 by 2 in b square equal to 9 a
(a+8÷2)^2 = 9a
a^2+16a+64 = 36a
a^2 -20a +64 =0
(a-16) (a-4) =0
a= 16 or a=4
when a=16 b= 12
when a=4 b= 6
Value of a and b are given above
14+x=84
x=70
The team lost 70 games.
84+70=x
154=x
The team played a total of 154 games.
The vertex is (3,0).
The 3 inside the abs val bar tells you the x value of the vertex is 3. No number outside the abs value bar is a +0 which is the y value of the vertex.
