X= -2
Y= -1
Z= 1
You may use solve this problem by substituting the values as well. If everything goes wrong , go for Cramer’s rule
The equation of line that passes through point (-3, 8) and has an undefined slope is x = -3
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that we have to find the equation of line that passes through point (-3, 8) and has an undefined slope
Since the line has an undefined slope. This informs us that it is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points in the plane with the same x-coordinate.
If the slope of the line is undefined, then, by definition the line is a vertical line.
For a vertical line, the value of x is the same for each and every value of y
Given point is (x, y) = (-3 , 8)
Because the value of x in the point provided in the problem is -3, we get
Equation of line is : x = -3

Answer: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of red balloons = 17
Number of purple balloons = 11
Number of orange balloons = 3
Number of green balloons = 1
Number of yellow balloons = 2
Total number of balloons = 34
The probability that a randomly selected balloon will be red will be:
= Number of red balloons/Total number of balloons
= 17/34
= 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.
===========
This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
