Find the set of values of k for which the line y=kx-4 intersects the curve y=x²-2x at 2 distinct points?

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

Circle O has a circumference of approximately 250π ft. Circle O with diameter d is shown. What is the approximate length of the
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

250 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of circle 'C' is defined as

C = 2πr

250π = 2πr

r = 250π/2π

r= 125

d = 2r = 2×125 = 250 .

diameter of the given circle is 250 ft

A space shuttle travels at 2.6 x 10,000 feet per second. An hour is 3.6 x 1,000 seconds. This expression can be used to find the
guapka [62]

Answer:

7.22 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

s = d/t................. Equation 1

Where s = speed of the space shuttle, d = distance traveled by the shuttle in an hour, t = time taken to travel the distance

make d the subject of the equation,

d = s×t.................... Equation 2

Given: s = 2.6×10000 feet per seconds, t = 1 hour =  3.6×1000 seconds.

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = (2.6×10000)/(3.6×1000)

d = 26000/3600

d = 7.22 feet.

Hence the shuttle travels 7.22 feet in an hour

What is the common difference of the sequence 8, 4, 0, -4, -16?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

Common difference of an Arithmetic progression can be found out by subtracting the preceding term from that given term.

i.e

  • common \:  \: difference = 4 - 8
  • common \:  \: difference =  - 4

therefore, the common difference of the above Arithmetic progression is -4 .
