Answer:

a) the point is on the line

b) the lines are the same line

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distance from a point to a line is zero when the point satisfies the equation of the line. That is, the point is on the line.

b) Two lines are zero distance apart when they are on top of each other, indistinguishable. That is, they are the same line.

4(x+9)=8x-7<br> Solve for x
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

x = 10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+9)=8x-7

Step 1: Distribute the 4 to the x and 9

4 * x = 4x

4 * 9 = 36

We now have 4x + 36 = 8x - 7

Step 2: add 7 to both sides

36 + 7 = 43

-7 + 7 cancels out

We now have 4x + 43 = 8x

Step 3 subtract 4x from both sides

4x - 4x cancels out

8x - 4x = 4x

We now have 4x = 43

step 4 divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 ( the 4s cancel out and we're left with x )

43/4 = 10.75

We're left with x = 10.75

Consider the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+5=0,where a, b and c are rational numbers and the quadratic has two distinct zeros.
FrozenT [24]
You have shared the situation (problem), except for the directions:  What are you supposed to do here?  I can only make a educated guesses.  See below:

Note that if    <span>ax^2+bx+5=0    then it appears that c = 5 (a rational number).

Note that for simplicity's sake, we need to assume that the "two distinct zeros" are real numbers, not imaginary or complex numbers.  If this is the case, then the discriminant,    b^2 - 4(a)(c), must be positive.  Since c = 5, 

b^2 - 4(a)(5) > 0, or b^2 - 20a > 0.

Note that if the quadratic has two distinct zeros, which we'll call "d" and "e," then 

(x-d) and (x-e) are factors of ax^2 + bx + 5 = 0, and that because of this fact,

         - b plus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
d =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

and

 </span>         - b minus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
e =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

Some (or perhaps all) of these facts may help us find the values of "a" and "b."  Before going into that, however, I'm asking you to share the rest of the problem statement.  What, specificallyi, were you asked to do here?
