Answer:

A) (-1 ± √21)/ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms onto one side

$x^{2}$ = 5-x

$x^{2}$ + x - 5 = 0

Insert values into quadratic formula

a = 1 b= 1 c= - 5

[-b ± √( $b^{2}$ - 4ac)]/2a

[-1 ± √( $1^{2}$ - 4 (1(-5)]/ 2(1)

(-1 ± √21)/ 2

Find the slope of the lines. Are the 2 lines parallel or perpendicular? Explain how you can use the slope of two lines to tell i

rewona [7]

Answer:

slope = $\frac{3}{7}$ and - $\frac{7}{3}$ , perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = $\frac{3}{7}$ x + 11 is in this form with m = $\frac{3}{7}$

Rearrange 7x + 3y = 13 into this form

subtract 7x from both sides

3y = - 7x + 13 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - $\frac{7}{3}$ x + $\frac{13}{3}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with m = - $\frac{7}{3}$

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

• The product of perpendicular slopes = - 1

The lines are not parallel since slopes are not equal

$\frac{3}{7}$ × - $\frac{7}{3}$ = - 1

Hence lines are perpendicular

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of x² is known as the parent function. From it, all quadratics can be transformed to make their graphs. It can undergo a series of transformations like translations up/down/left/right or stretch and compression vertically and horizontally. Usually the equation can tell you you what transformations it undergoes. Since g(x) is the same equation as x² except for 4/5 this is a vertical compression. Since it is the leading coefficient under multiplication and 4/5 < 1, this is a compression vertically. Answer B is correct.
