Find the other x-intercept for the parabola defined by this equation y=2x2+3-2
1 answer:
Answer:
( , 0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is
2x² + 3x - 2 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × - 2 = - 4 and sum = + 3
The factors are + 4 and - 1
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 4x - x - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x + 2) - 1 (x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term
(x + 2)(2x - 1) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x =
The x- intercepts are (- 2, 0 ), ( , 0 )

Answer:
m(∠y) = 64°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
m(∠e) = 90°
m(∠b) + 67° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]
m(∠b) = 180 - 67
= 113°
m(∠c) + 75° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]
m(∠c) = 105°
m(∠a) = m(∠d)
By the property of a polygon,
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by,
Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°
Here, n = number of sides of the polygon
For n = 5,
Sum of interior angles = (5 - 2)×180°
= 540°
m(∠a) + m(∠b) + m(∠c) + m(∠d) + m(e) = 540°
2m(∠d) + 113° + 105° + 90° = 540°
2m(∠d) + 308 = 540°
2m(∠d) = 540 - 308
m(∠d) = 116°
m(∠d) + m(∠y) = 180°
m(∠y) + 116° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]
m(∠y) = 64°
