Answer:

(x, y) = (5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

LP = x

MP = 2y+3

NP = y+3

KP = 3x -8

KP = MP, LP = NP

Find:

x, y

Solution:

The given relations between the segment lengths let us write two equations:

KP = MP

3x -8 = 2y +3 ⇒ 3x -2y -11 = 0 [eq1]

LP = NP

x = y +3 ⇒ x -y -3 = 0 [eq2]

Subtracting 3 times [eq2] from [eq1] gives ...

(3x -2y -11) -3(x -y -3) = 0

y -2 = 0 . . . . . . . . simplify

y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . add 2

Substituting this value into [eq2] gives ...

x = 2 + 3 = 5

The values of x and y are ...

x = 5, y = 2

Amplitude: 4

If midline means center, it is -5
I'm also implying that there is an x in cos(4x)

Q.16 please With steps

blsea [12.9K]

The equations

$2x^2+9x-5=0$

and

$2\left(t-\dfrac12\right)^2+9\left(t-\dfrac12\right)-5=0$

are really the same, we're just setting $x=t-\dfrac12$ , or $t=x+\dfrac12$ .

$2x^2+9x-5=(2x-1)(x+5)=0\implies x=\dfrac12,x=-5$

So we get

$t=\dfrac12+\dfrac12=1,t=-5+\dfrac12=-\dfrac92$

Option C: -3 is the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$

Explanation:

The formula to determine the average rate of change is given by

Average rate of change = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We need to find the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$

Thus, from the table, we have,

$x_1=-1$ , $y_1=5$

$x_2=1$ , $y_2=-1$

Thus, substituting these values in the formula, we get,

Average rate of change = $\frac{-1-5}{1+1}$

$=\frac{-6}{2}$

$=-3$

Thus, the average rate of change between $x=-1$ and $x=1$ is -3.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
