You need to find points where the line g(x) intercepts the quadratic function f(x) in one and only one point.
Then 3x^2 + 4x -2 = mx - 5
solve 3x^2 + 4x - mx -2 + 5 = 0
3x^2 + (4 - m)x + 3 = 0
In order to there be only one solution (one intersection point) the radicand of the quadratic formula must be 0 =>
b^2 - 4ac = (4 - m)^2 - 4(3)(3) = 0
(4 - m)^2 = 24
4 - m = +/- √(24)
m = 4 +/- √(24) = 4 +/- 2√(6)
Then m, the slope of the line, may be 4 + 2√6 and 4 - 2√6
The equation is y=16(1.35)ˣ.
This equation is of the form y=a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial amount, r is the rate of growth expressed as a decimal number, y is the total, and x is the amount of time. For our problem, a is 16; b is 0.35 (35%=35/100=0.35). This gives us the equation above.
Answer:
The tip would be approximately $2.33. The total amount of money that should be left on the bill is $17.73.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the tip: 15.50 times 0.15 = 2.325 ≈ 2.33
To determine the total: 15.50 plus 2.33
Answer:
From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:
12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16
