Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

QS = RS + QR

3x = 2x + 3x-8

3x = 5x - 8

8 = 2x

8/2 = x

4 = x

RS = 2x = 2(4) = 8

Write the equation of a line passing through the points (2, -4) and (2, -9). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Norma-Jean [14]

1. find our slope: y2 - y1/ x2- x 1

-9 + 4= -5
2 - 2 = 0

m = 0

2. now we need to use our point-slope form to find our y intercept

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = 0(x - 2)

distribute:
y + 4 = 0x

3. get y by itself

y + 4 - 4 = y
0x - 4 = 0x - 4

4. write in slope-intercept form:

y = 0x - 4
OR
y = -4

A rock is released from rest and freely falls 70 m to the ground. What is its velocity just before impact? A. 1.2 m/s B. 7.0 m/s

Yuri [45]

Answer:

37.04 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the equation x = x0 + v0t + 1/2at^2

a = -9.8 m/s^2, the acceleration due to gravity

x0 = 70 m, the starting point of x

v0 = 0 m/s

x = 0

this will allow us to solve for time

0 = 70 + 0 +-4.9t^2

t = 3.779

now we can use the equation v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8(3.77)

v = 37.04 m/s

Consider the parabola y = 8x − x2. (a) find the slope of the tangent line to the parabola at the point (1, 7). 6 (b) find an equ

Brut [27]

In order to find any of the info we need we have to find the first derivative of the equation. If $y=-x^2+8x$ , then $y'=-2x+8$ . We are told to find the slope at point (1, 7). Using that x value in our derivative will give us the slope of the line at that point. y' = -(1)^2+8. So y' = 7. That's the slope of the line. Now we will use that slope along with the x and y coordinate in the slope-intercept form of a line to solve for b. 7 = 7(1) + b so b = 0. Our equation then is y = 7x. If you graph these in the same window on your calculator, you can see how perfectly that align at the given point. It's really quite perfect.

Jason wrote this expression to describe the total amount he will spend on a magazine and a book.

kati45 [8]

The 11 may represent the price of the magazine if all the magazines at a certain store are $11. Then the s may represent the price of a book because all the books at a bookstore are different prices.

Hope this helps

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: There are 6 pieces of cloth are rectangles and 9 pieces of cloth are triangles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

For every 5 pieces of cloth, 2 are rectangles

So, remaining piece will be of triangle so,

$5-2=3$
