Plug in 38 for f(x)
38 = 2(x-1)2 + 6
Use distributive property
38 = 2x-1 * 2 + 6
38 = 2x -2 + 6
38 = 2x + 4
34 = 2x, x = 17
I believe x is 17

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=38

f(x)=2(x-1)2+6

38=4x-4+6

38=4x+2

36=4x

x=9

Simplify: [5×(25)^n+1 - 25 × (5)^2n]/[5×(5)^2n+3 - (25)^n+1]

Alekssandra [29.7K]

$\green{\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}}$

Given expression is 

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} }$

can be rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times { {(5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} - {5}^{2} \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {( {5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} }$

We know,

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ {( {x}^{m} )}^{n} \: = \: {x}^{mn}}}} \\$

And

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \: \: {x}^{m} \times {x}^{n} = {x}^{m + n} \: }}} \\$

So, using this identity, we

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times {5}^{2n + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 3 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 4} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

can be further rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 2 + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ {5}^{2n + 2} (5 - 1)}{ {5}^{2n + 2} ( {5}^{2} - 1)}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{25 - 1}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{24}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, 

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} } = \frac{1}{6} }}$

Which product is positive?

Natalija [7]

Option D:

$\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(-\frac{8}{9}\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)$ is positive product.

Solution:

If the negative sign is in even number of times then the product is positive.

If the negative sign is in odd number of times then the product is negative.

To find which product is positive:

Option A:

$$\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(-\frac{8}{9}\right)\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(-\frac{2}{7}\right)$

Here, number of negative signs = 3

3 is an odd number.

So, the product is negative.

Option B:

$$\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(-\frac{2}{7}\right)$

Here, number of negative signs = 3

3 is an odd number.

So, the product is negative.

Option C:

$$\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(-\frac{2}{7}\right)$

Here, number of negative sign = 1

1 is an odd number.

So, the product is negative.

Option D:

$$\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(-\frac{8}{9}\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)$

Here, number of negative sign = 2

2 is an odd number.

So, the product is positive.

Hence option D is the correct answer.

$\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(-\frac{8}{9}\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)$ is positive product.

Given a point translated from A(1,2) to B(4,4). If a point C at (0,0) is translated in the same way, what will be its new endpoi

avanturin [10]

Answer:

B. (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) When shifting from A(1,2) to B(4,4), the point shifted 3 units to the right (which means x=3) and 2 units upwards (which means y=2).

Step 2) So when you apply the same movements to point C(0,0), the new point will be (3,2).

See the diagram below. Step 1 is the graph on the left. Step 2 is the graph on the right. The movement is colored in green. Hope this helps!
