Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides then it divides those sides proportionally, that is

$\frac{6}{x+1}$ = $\frac{4}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

6x = 4(x + 1)

6x = 4x + 4 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

The area of triangle formed by points of intersection of parabola y=a(x−1)(x−4) with the coordinate axes is 3. Find a if it is k

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The value of a will be $a=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by graphing the parabola and the three points of the triangle. These points are at intersections of y=a(x-1)(x-4) and the axes

so the y = 0 points are (1,0) and (4,0).

The x = 0 intersection is when y=a(-1)(-4) or (0,4a)

The base and height of this triangle are

The base would be the distance between the y=0 intersections and the height would be the y value of the other vertex.

Hence, base=3 units and height = 4a units. Thus, area can be calculated as

$A = \frac{1}{2}\times b\times h =\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 4a = 3$

$a=\frac{1}{2}$

∵ the parabola opens downward therefore a will be negative.

hence, $a=-\frac{1}{2}$
