Answer:

x = 5

y = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

the median and the base of the large triangle are parallel so angle y has the same measure as the one labeled as 40°

the median is half the base of the large triangle, so 5x = 8x + 10/2

cross-multiply: 10x = 8x + 10

2x = 10

x = 5

What was done to the quadratic parent function F(x) = x2 to get the

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If k<0, the function g(x) = f(x) + k represents the function f(x) shifted k units downwards.

In this case, given that k=-3 (k<0). The graph was shifted 3 units down. Therefore, the correct option is Option C.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\left\{-\dfrac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2};\ \dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}\right\}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+5x+1=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula:}\\\\\text{For}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\text{if}\ \Delta < 0,\ \text{then the equation has no real solution}\\\text{if}\ \Delta=0,\ \text{then the equation has one real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\\text{if}\ \Delta>0,\ \text{then the equation has two real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
