<span>Each set of prices can be described by a linear function. In this case, Company A would be y = 5 + .5x, where y is the fare and x is the number of miles driven. Similarly, Company B would b y = 10 + .1x. The definition of intersection tells us that two lines interstect only at that point where their x and y coordinates are identical, which means, of course, that their y coordinates will be identical. So to find the point of intersection we can examine the point where the y coordinates are the same. Which is to say, where 5 + .5x = 10 + .1x. We can simplify this to .5x - .1x = 10 - 5, then .4x = 5, and finally, x = (5/.4) = 12.5. In other words, the fares will be equal when the miles driven is 12.5</span>
The factors of this polynomial would be (x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1).
To find these, you first have to start with long division to find the first factor. If you use x + 4 it would look like this.
= 
Now we are left with only . We can factor this by looking for numbers that multiply to the last number and add to the middle number. 2 and -2 multiply to -2 and add to 1. Therefore, we'll use those in parenthesis in their place.
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 1)
The sides are 2x, 3x-5 and 4x+2
perimiter is the sum of the sides
a.
2x+3x-5+4x+2=63 is an equation
b.
solve
group like terms
2x+3x+4x-5+2=65
add like terms
9x-3=65
add 3 to both sides
9x=68
divide both sides by 9
x=68/9
2x=2(68/9)=136/9 in
3x-5=3(68/9)-5=(68/3)-5=(68/3)-(15/3)=53/3
4x+2=4(68/9)+2=272/9+2=272/9+18/2=290/9
the side lengths are 136/9in, 53/3in, and 290/9in
Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
m = y2 - y1 / x2- x1
where slope is m,
so in this case it would be
m= 1-(-1) / 3-2
m=2/1
m=2
Note that you can do it either way
