Find the x and y intercepts of 4x - 5y = 40 Is this correct and can someone explain why??

1 answer:

Answer:

no, the correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

for the x-intercept you would first add 5y to both sides giving you 4x=5y+40. then you would divide both sides by 4, so the final equation would be x=5/4y+10.

for the y-intercept you would subtract 4x from both sides, making -5y=-4x+40. then you would divide both sides by -5, making the final equation y=4/5x-8.

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\$

$5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k-5=0:\quad k=5\\\\k =5 , k=-3$

How do I write an equation for each parabolas?

fredd [130]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first parabola it opens on the left and the equation of parabola can be expressed as,

in vertical component <u>(y)² = (-) a (x-h)² + k</u>

cause the parabola is horizontal and it opens on the left.

2. In the second parabola the vertex opens on the right and hence the equation cane be given as,

in vertical component <u>(y)² = a (x-h)² + k</u>

cause the parabola is horizontal and opens on the right.

3. the third equation is given as,

in horizontal component<u> (x²) =</u> <u> (-) a (x-h)² + k</u>

since the parabola is vertical and opens down.

4. the fourth equation is given as,

in the horizontal component <u>(x)² = a (x-h)² + k</u>

since the parabola is vertical and opens up.

Find the perimeter of an isosceles triangle ABC. Side AB=4, and the base BC=3. Angles B & C are both 70 degrees.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since <em>∆ABC is isosceles, it means that at least two sides are congruent/equal in length</em>.

<em>Sides CA and AB are congruent</em>, since BC is the base. So, <em>CA = 4</em>.

That means the perimeter is <em>4 + 4 + 3 </em>= 11 un
