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

Hey there!

ANSWER: \frac{23}{20}

EXPLANATION:

To find the answer to your question, you will need to add.

\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{5}

First, multiply the denominator.

5*4=20

So the denominator will be 20.

Now move on to the numerator. Multiply 5 by 3.

5*3=15

Now multiply 4 bu 2.

4*2=8

If you want to get the numerator, add what you got after multiply.

15+8=23

The numerator is 23. So now let's complete the fraction.

\frac{23}{20}

This is your answer!

Hope this helps!

what is the probability of rolling 6 five times in a row? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
qaws [65]

Answer:

1/7776.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a six in 1 throw = 1/6.

Rolling   a 6 5 times in a row = (1/6)^5

= 1/7776.

The probability is multiplied because each roll is independent from other rolls.

Explain how you can write an equation for a line with slope 1/2 that crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-1).
andre [41]

Answer:

y= 1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is y= mx+c

m represents the slope of the line

c represents the y-intercept

So we plug in our information into the equation.

The slope is 1/2 so y= 1/2x + c

The line crosses at (0,-1) which makes -1 the y-intercept as the line crosses at this point on the y-axis.

Therefore, y= 1/2x-1

Rainbow [258]
For this case, we can model the problem as a triangle with a right angle.
 Where,
 x, y: lengths of the sides of the triangle
 d: hypotenuse of the triangle
 We then have the following relationship:
 d ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + y ^ 2&#10;
 Clearing d we have:
 d = \sqrt{ x^2 + y^2}
