Answer:

f(2) = 3

f(5/2) = 5

f(½) = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear function f(x) = 4x - 5:

3 = 4x - 5

3 + 5 = 4x - 5 + 5

8 = 4x

8/4 = 4x/4

2 = x

Therefore, when f(x) = 3, x = 2.

5 = 4x - 5

5 + 5 = 4x - 5 + 5

10 = 4x

10/4 = 4x/4

5/2 = x

Therefore, when f(x) = 5, x = 5/2.

-3 = 4x - 5

-3 + 5 = 4x - 5 + 5

2 = 4x

2/4 = 4x/4

½ = x

Therefore, when f(x) = -3, x = ½.

Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-directi

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a$

Equation:

$y=ax^2 -2ax+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1$

Solve:

$c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}$

Parabola equation:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}$

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0$

Equation:

$y=ax^2+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1$

Solve:

$a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7$

Parabola equation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7$

System of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

What is -2 sqrt 50 - sqrt 125 in simplest radical form

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

- 10√2 - 5√5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2√50

√50 = √( 2 x 5 x 5 ) = 5√2

- 2√50

= - 2 x 5√2

= - 10√2

- √125

= - √( 5 x 5 x 5 )

= - 5√5

- 2√50 - √125

= - 10√2 - 5√5
