Type the correct answer for each box write your answer in decimal form rounded to the nearest tenth if necessary type the soluti

stira [4]

The solution is $x=-1$ and $x=-0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is $2x(x+1.5)=-1$

Multiplying the term $x+1.5$ by $2x$ , we get,

$2x^{2} +3x=-1$

Adding both sides by 1,

$2x^{2} +3x+1=0$

Taking factor, we get,

$\begin{array}{r}{x^{2}+2 x+x+1=0} \\{2 x(x+1)+1(x+1)=0} \\{(2 x+1)(x+1)=0}\end{array}$

Equating the factors to 0,

$\begin{aligned}2 x+1 &=0 \\2 x &=-1 \\x &=-\frac{1}{2}\\x&=-0.5\end{aligned}$ and $\begin{aligned}x+1 &=0 \\x &=-1\end{aligned}$

Thus, the smaller value is $x=-1$

The solution is $x=-1$ and $x=-0.5$

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(-5,-9) and (-5,-13)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

slope is undefined

ex. a straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

Step-by-step explanation:

formula is

y2-y1 / x2-x1

-13 + 9 / -5 + 5

-4 / 0

slope is undefined

straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

undefined slope is the slope of any vertical line that goes up or down. There is no horizontal movement and hence the denominator is zero while calculating the slope. Thus the slope of the line is undefined.
