I kinda got confused

Two collinear points on a line are given in the table below:

katrin [286]

Answer:

$(4,3)$ and $(7,2)$ do not lie on the line

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(0,0)\ and\ (2,1)$

Required

Determine which points that are not on the line

First, we need to determine the slope (m) of the line:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1}$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,1)$

So;

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1}$

$m = \frac{1 - 0}{2-0}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}$

Next, we determine the line equation using:

$y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)$

Where

$m = \frac{1}{2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)$ becomes

$y - 0 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 0)$

$y = \frac{1}{2}x$

To determine which point is on the line, we simply plug in the values of x to in the equation check.

For $(4,2)$

$x = 4$ and $y =2$

Substitute 4 for x and 2 for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$2 = \frac{1}{2} * 4$

$2 = \frac{4}{2}$

$2=2$

This point is on the graph

For $(4,3)$

$x = 4$ and $y = 3$

Substitute 4 for x and 3 for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$3 = \frac{1}{2} * 4$

$3 = \frac{4}{2}$

$3 \neq 2$

This point is not on the graph

For $(7,2)$

$x = 7$ and $y = 2$

Substitute 7 for x and 2 for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$2 = \frac{1}{2} * 7$

$2 = \frac{7}{2}$

$2 \neq 3.5$

This point is not on the graph

$(\frac{4}{8},\frac{2}{8})$

$x = \frac{4}{8}$ and $y = \frac{2}{8}$

Substitute $\frac{4}{8}$  for x and  $\frac{2}{8}$ for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1 * 4}{8 * 2}$

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{4}{16}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

This point is on the graph

Can anyone please help with this question?

vitfil [10]

The middle section is n(n+1)

The top row is n+2

The bottom row is 2n+1

So the rule for the total number of tiles will be the sum of the above rules...

s(n)=n(n+1)+n+2+2n+1

s(n)=n^2+n+n+2+2n+1

s(n)=n^2+4n+3

T+b = 41 t = 2b+2 Solve for t and b

erastovalidia [21]

Answer: b=13, t=29

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the first equation into the second,

$2b+2+b=41\\\\3b+2=41\\\\3b=39\\\\b=13\\\\\implies t=2(13)+2=29$

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): -2x^2 + 5x + 2 = -3

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                              x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
                              x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
                              x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
