Show that y = 11x + 5 is a tangent to the curve y = 3x² + 5x + 8

Mathematics

Dafna1 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

There is only 1 solution for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

y = 11x + 5

y = 3x^2 + 5x + 8

This is a linear-quadratic system. If the line is tangent to the parabola, it means that it would only have 1 solution.

Set y equal:

3x^2 + 5x + 8= 11x + 5

Move everything to the left side:

3x^2 + 5x + 8-11x-5=0\\3x^2 -6x + 3=0

Divide both sides by 3:

x^2 -2x + 1=0

Factor:

(x-1)^2=0

Solve for <em>x</em>:

x-1=0\\x=1

Therefore, the only solution for x when y is set equal for both functions is 1. There is only 1 solution for x, so y = 11x + 5 is tangent to the curve y = 3x^2 + 5x + 8.

I hope this helps!

Choose the correct option.Immersive Reader (1 Point) (A) z-5=2 is an equation and z=5 is the solution of this equation (B) t+2&g
melomori [17]

Answer:

<h3>Find the explanation below</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given the equation z - 5 = 2

To get the solution, we will add 5 to both sides and find z as shown;

z - 5 = 2

z - 5 + 5 = 2 + 5

z + 0 = 2+5

z = 7

Hence z = 5 is not the solution of the equation but z = 7

B) Given the inequality expression t+2>5

Substract 2 from both sides of the equation;

t+2 - 2>5 - 2

t + 0> 3

t>3

Hence the solution t = 4 is not true for the expression. The solution is t > 3

C) Given the expression  x-2=2, to get the solution to the expression, you will add 2 to both sides of the equation;

x - 2+ 2 = 2 + 2

x + 0 = 4

x = 4

Therefore x = 4 is the solution of this equation.

Based on the question, only Option C is correct
