The equation d = 2t^ gives the distance from the start point of a toy boat that starts at rest and accelerates at 4 cm/s2. The e

quation d = 10t - 8 gives the distance from the start point of a second boat that starts at rest 8 cm behind the first boat and travels at a constant rate of 10 cm/s.
a) By setting the equations equal to each other, you can determine when the cars are the same distance from the start point: 2t2 = 10t - 8. Rewrite the equation so it is equal to 0 on the right hand side of the equation.

b) Factor the expression on the left side of the equation.

c) boats are the same distance from the start point at t = 1 and t = 4. Explain how the factors you found in part b were used to find these two times.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

d = 2t^2 and d = 10t - 8

If we equate both since they are distances, we have:

2t^2 = 10t - 8  

Algebraically, moving the equation to the right side, we get:

2t^ 2 = 10t -8 \\ \\ 2t^2 -10t +8 =0

To factor the equation on the left side:

2t^2 - 10t + 8 = 0

Factor out 2 on the left-hand side:

2 (t^2 -5t + 4) =0

=2 (t^2 -t-4t + 4)

= 2[t(t-1)-4(t-1)]

=2(t-1) (t-4)

To determine the time when the two boats have to cover an equal distance:

2(t -1)(t-4) =0 \\ \\(t-1)(t-4) =0

Thus:

t - 1 = 0 \  or \  t - 4 = 0 \\ \\ t = 1  \   or   \  t = 4

Solve for g.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

g =6/5                           g=-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5g − 6)(2g + 5) = 0

Using the zero product property

(5g − 6)  =0          (2g + 5) = 0

5g-6+6 =0+6             2g+5-5=0-5

5g =6                          2g =-5

5g/5 = 6/5                  2g/2 =-5/2

g =6/5                           g=-5/2

Sketch the graph of y (x +3)2-4 and identify the axis of symmetry.
masya89 [10]

The axis of symmetry is at x = -3.


This can be found by looking at the basic form of vertex form:


y = (x - h)^2 + k


In this basic form the vertex is (h, k). By looking at what is plugged into the equation, it is clear that h = -3 and k = -4. This means the vertex is at (-3, -4).


It is a fact that the axis of symmetry is a vertical line of x = (vertex value of x). So we can determine that the axis of symmetry is at x = -3
