Does the equation y = x(x - 3) represent a linear function

Mathematics
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No. You can see why if you remove the brackets.

y=x^2 - 3x.

A linear function must have x and y with powers of 1. Also it can't something like x^2 - y^2 = 5

x^2 - y^2 = 0 is the only exception I can think of, but that really is a system of equations. If you graph it. you get two equations which cross at 0 and nowhere else.

Which of the following is the result of completing the square for x2 + 8x - 6 ?
melamori03 [73]
STEP 1- since 6 doesn't contain the variable to solve for move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides
X^2-8X=-6
STEP 2- create a trinomial square on the left side of the equation find the value that is equal to the square of half of b the coefficient of x 
(b/2)^2 =(-4)^2
STEP 3- add the term to each side of the equation
x^2-8x+(-4)^2=-6=(-4) 
STEP 4- simplify the equation
x^2-8x+16=10 
STEP 5- factor the perfect trinomial square into (x-4)^2
(x-4)^2=10
STEP 6-solve the equation for x
x=4= square root of 10

The function h(t) = 210 – 15t models the altitude of a hot air balloon over time t, in minutes.
Liula [17]
H(10) is the altitude of a hot air balloon overtime after 10 minutes. In order to find h(10)'s value, you just have to substitute 10 as t in the equation. h(10) and h(t) represents the value of y in a linear equation. So pretty much: h(10)= 210 - 15(10). If calculated correctly, h(10)=60.

How do I work out A & B ?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

x² + 5x + 6

Consider the factors of the constant term ( + 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

The factors are 3 and 2, since

3 × 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5, hence

x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2) ← in factored form

(b)

To solve

x² + 5x + 6 = 0 ← use the factored form, that is

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

Solve the inequality for u<br>-5u+27 [less than or equal to] 2​
baherus [9]

Answer:

5≤u

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the words and numbers into an equation:

-5u+27≤2

Put all like terms on one side:

27-2≤5u ---> Do you see what I did there? Now you don't have to work with negatives. :)

Simplify:

25≤5u

Solve:

5≤u
