Answer:
x=i or no solution exists depending on the user's grade
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x^2-5
-7 = 2x^2-5
-2 = 2x^2, x^2=-1, x=i
<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate
<u>We are given:</u>
First point = (2,5)
Second point = (5, 14)
<u>Calculating the change in y coordinate:</u>
change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y
Δy = 14 - 5
Δy = 9
<u>Calculating the change in x coordinate:</u>
Δx = second x - first x
Δx = 5 - 2
Δx = 3
<u>Slope of the line:</u>
Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)
Slope = 9 / 3 [replacing the values]
Slope = 3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand with the distributive rule:


Add 4/3 to both sides:

Subtract 4x from both sides



Plug the 5 into the x in the equation 2x. it should be 2(5) which equals 10.
