Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{JK}{AB}$ = $\frac{KL}{BC}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{2}$ = $\frac{8}{4}$ = 2 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

x = 4

The second shape is double the first so you would do AB = 2 and then times by 2 as its double and you will get 4
answer = 4

The graph 4x^2-4x-1 is shown. Use the grpah to find the estimates for the solutions of 4x^2-4x-1=0 and 4x^2 - 4x-1=2

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

a) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 0$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.25$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.25$ .

b) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 2$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.5$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

From image we get a graphical representation of the second-order polynomial $y = 4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1$ , where $x$ is related to the horizontal axis of the Cartesian plane, whereas $y$ is related to the vertical axis of this plane. Now we proceed to estimate the solutions for each case:
