Answer:

49/8 is the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system

x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5

x=k

We want to find k such that the system intersects once.

If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.

This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.

Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.

Subtracting k on both sides gives

0=-2y^2-3y+5-k

The discriminant can be found by evaluating

b^2-4ac.

Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that

a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.

So we want to solve the following equation for k:

(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0

9+8(5-k)=0

Distribute:

9+40-8k=0

49-8k=0

Add 8k on both sides:

49=8k

Divide both sides by 8"

49/8=k

Answer:

= 3.5 miles per hour

Showing Work

This is a fraction equal to

7 miles ÷ 2 hours

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 2

7 miles ÷ 2

2 hours ÷ 2

=

3.5 miles

1 hour

=

3.5 miles

hour

= 3.5 miles per hour

The freezing point of water is 32°F. When water is at or below this temperature, it is in solid form. Which statements are true
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The number 32 is part of the solution set

The circle on the graph is closed

The arrow on the graph points to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 32 is part of the solution because it said that water freezes at 32 degrees when it is at or below 32

The circle on the graph is closed because 32 is part of the answer , when the solution is showed then the circle is closed.

Last but not least the arrow on the graph points left because water freezes when it is at 32 or below 32 degrees, so when it points left the numbers become lower.

Hope this helped! :)
