Answer:

b = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

You want your discriminant to be zero because then you have exactly one solution.

Solve b²-4ac = 0

b² - 4·400 = 0

b = ±√1600

so b=±40

but f(-20) also has to be 0

so b=40 remains as the solution

Answer:

b = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = - 20 is a zero of f(x) then f(- 20) = 0 , that is

(- 20)² - 20b + 400 = 0

400 - 20b + 400 = 0

800 - 20b = 0 ( subtract 800 from both sides )

- 20b = - 800 ( divide both sides by - 20 )

b = 40

liberstina [14]

Answer:

y=90x+2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

90 is the rate of change because the hot air balloon descends 90 feet per minute.

And 2,000 is the starting point because the hot air balloon started the descent at 2,000 feet.

Choose the equation that represents the graph below: (1 point) Graph of a line passing through points 0 comma 6 and 9 comma 0 y

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Equation of a line $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$ passing through (0,6) and (9,0).

Explanation:

Given the two points (0, 6) and (9 ,0).

To find the equation for the given two points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is,

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ ; where m is the slope and is given by:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

First find the slope m:

$m=\frac{0-6}{9-0} =\frac{-6}{9} =\frac{-2}{3}$

Substitute this value in equation of line:

$y-6=\frac{-2}{3} (x-0)$ or

$y-6=\frac{-2}{3} x$

⇒ $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$

Therefore, the equation for the given point is: $y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6$
