1) The y- axis is where x = 0, so the line "y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis when x = 0. You plug in "x = 0" into the equation, and get y = 0 -3, so y = -3. That means the line " y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis ar (0, -3)
2) If there are 2 parallel lines, then there is no solution, because the definition of parallel lines is, " 2 lines in the same plane, that never meet." That makes the solution inconsistent.
Let

Differentiating twice gives


When x = 0, we observe that y(0) = a₀ and y'(0) = a₁ can act as initial conditions.
Substitute these into the given differential equation:


Then the coefficients in the power series solution are governed by the recurrence relation,

Since the n-th coefficient depends on the (n - 2)-th coefficient, we split n into two cases.
• If n is even, then n = 2k for some integer k ≥ 0. Then




It should be easy enough to see that

• If n is odd, then n = 2k + 1 for some k ≥ 0. Then




so that

So, the overall series solution is


Answer:
The answer is "MS and QS".
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ΔMNQ is isosceles with base MQ, and NR and MQ bisect each other at S. we have to prove that ΔMNS ≅ ΔQNS.
As NR and MQ bisect each other at S
⇒ segments MS and SQ are therefore congruent by the definition of bisector i.e MS=SQ
In ΔMNS and ΔQNS
MN=QN (∵ MNQ is isosceles triangle)
∠NMS=∠NQS (∵ MNQ is isosceles triangle)
MS=SQ (Given)
By SAS rule, ΔMNS ≅ ΔQNS.
Hence, segments MS and SQ are therefore congruent by the definition of bisector.
The correct option is MS and QS
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation
represents the discriminant of a quadratic. It is the part taken from under the radical in the quadratic formula.
For any quadratic:
- If the discriminant is positive, or greater than 0, the quadratic has two solutions
- If the discriminant is equal to 0, the quadratic has one distinct real solution (the solution is repeated).
- If the discriminant is negative, or less than 0, the quadratic has zero solutions
In the graph, we see that the equation intersects the x-axis at two distinct points. Therefore, the quadratic has two solutions and the discriminant must be positive. Thus, we have
.
