Answer:

-6 < k < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = x^2 - 2x

y =kx -4

Required

Possible values of k

The general quadratic equation is:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Subtract y = x^2 - 2x and y =kx -4

y - y = x^2 - 2x - kx +4

0 = x^2 - 2x - kx +4

Factorize:

0 = x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4

Rewrite as:

x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4=0

Compare the above equation to: ax^2 + bx + c = 0

a = 1

b= -2-k

c =4

For the equation to have two distinct solution, the following must be true:

b^2 - 4ac > 0

So, we have:

(-2-k)^2 -4*1*4>0

(-2-k)^2 -16>0

Expand

4 +4k+k^2-16>0

Rewrite as:

k^2 + 4k - 16 + 4 >0

k^2 + 4k - 12 >0

Expand

k^2 + 6k-2k - 12 >0

Factorize

k(k + 6)-2(k + 6) >0

Factor out k + 6

(k -2)(k + 6) >0

Split:

k -2 > 0 or k + 6> 0

So:

k > 2 or k > -6

To make the above inequality true, we set:

k < 2 or k >-6

So, the set of values of k is:

-6 < k < 2

Please helppp!! Find the missing side . Round to the nearest tenth
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

7.  7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Tan of this angle to find the missing side (in this case, the side adjacent to the angle measuring 57°)

 Tan A = (opposite side)/(adjacent side)

    Tan 57° = 12/x

solve for x

           x(Tan 57°) = 12

               x = 12/(Tan 57°)

                 x = 7.8   (rounded to the nearest tenth)

A greedy hamster hoarded 2 piles of sunflower seeds. Yesterday the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4; but today the greedy h
poizon [28]

The weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

A greedy hamster hoarded 2 piles of sunflower seeds. Yesterday the ratio of the seeds in these piles was 3:4

Let 3x and 4x are the seeds from the smaller and bigger pile.

= 4x + 2  (greedy hamster placed another 2 pounds of seeds in the bigger pile)

= 3x - 1/4 (ate 1/4 pound from the smaller pile)

4x + 2 = 5x

Because the quantities of seeds in those piles is in the ratio of 5:16

After solving:

x = 2

Smaller pile weight = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bigger pile wieght = 4x = 4(2) = 8

Thus, the weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4
