Answer:

  • b = -10, c = -106

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

<u>Quadratic function </u>

  • g(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

with the roots:

  • (-5+9i) and (-5-9i)
<h3>To find </h3>
  • b and c if a = -1
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>As we know the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product of the roots is c/a. Substituting values and solving for b and c:</u>

  • (-5 + 9i) + (-5 - 9i) = -b/-1
  • -10 = b
  • b = -10

And

  • (-5 + 9i)(-5 - 9i) = c/-1
  • (-5)² - (9i)² = -c
  • 25 - 81(-1) = -c
  • - c = 25 + 81
  • - c = 106
  • c = -106

g(x) = -x² -10x - 106

Which expression is equivalent to 1/4(2−5x+6) ?<br> Please answer fast!
Alecsey [184]
If x=3 then 5x3=15-2=13+6=19x1/4=4 3/4 so that means that 2 1/4+2 1/2 could be equivalent

P.S.I just chose 3 because it was the first number to pop into my head

What is the product of −2 1/4 and −4 1/2 ?
frozen [14]
To multiply fracti0ons, we need to convert them to improper fractions:

-2 1/4 = -9/4
-4 1/2 = -9/2

Now, lets multiply:

-9/4 * -9/2 = 81/8

Hope this helps!

Take note that the answer is positive because when multiplying, two negatives make a positive.

Given the function f(x) = 4(2)x, Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2 and Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure you want your functions to appear as perfectly formed as possible so that others can help you.  f(x) = 4(2)x should be written with the " ^ " sign to denote exponentation:  f(x) = 4(2)^x

                                                                                      f(b) - f(a)

The formula for "average rate of change" is a.r.c. = --------------

                                                                                           b - a

                                    change in function value

This is equivalent to  ---------------------------------------

                                            change in x value

For Section A:  x changes from 1 to 2 and the function changes from 4(2)^1 to  4(2)^2:  8 to 16.  Thus, "change in function value" is 8 for a 1-unit change in x from 1 to 2.  Thus, in this Section, the a.r.c. is:

                 8

               ------ = 8 units    (Section A)

                  1

Section B:  x changes from 3 to 4, a net change of 1 unit:  f(x) changes from

4(2)^3 to 4(2)^4, or 32 to 256, a net change of 224 units.  Thus, the a.r.c. is

        224 units

      ----------------- = 224 units (Section B)

            1 unit

The a.r.c for Section B is 28 times greater than the a.r.c. for Section A.

This change in outcome is so great because the function f(x) is an exponential function; as x increases in unit steps, the function increases much faster (we say "exponentially").

Complete the following proof.<br> Given: m ∠XOY = m ∠WOV<br> m YZ = m ZW<br> Prove: m XZ = m ZV
horsena [70]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m ∠XOY = m ∠WOV

so, m XY = m WV --- (i)

     { If angle subtended by two arcs at the center are equal, then length of arc are equal}

m YZ = m ZW  ------- (ii)    {given}

Add (i) and (ii)

XY + YZ = WV + ZW

XZ = ZV    

Hence proved.
