Answer:
y = 3/2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3/2x - 4
y-intercept through point (-2, 3):
3 = 3/2(-2) + b
3 = -3 + b
b = 6
Equation of line:
y = mx + b
y = 3/2x + 6
**Parallel line share the same slope, in this case 3/2.
Answer:
A) y = 3(x -3)^2 -46
B) (3, -46)
C) look at the y-coordinate of the vertex
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Factor the leading coefficient from the variable terms.
y = 3(x^2 -6x) -19
Inside parentheses, add the square of half the x-coefficient. Outside, subtract the same value.
y = 3(x^2 -6x +9) -19 -3(9)
y = 3(x -3)^2 -46
__
B) Compared to the vertex form, ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
we find a=3, (h, k) = (3, -46).
The vertex is (3, -46).
__
C) The vertex is an extreme value (as is any vertex). The sign of the leading coefficient tells you whether the parabola opens upward (+) or downward (-). This parabola opens upward, so the vertex is a minimum.
If the leading coefficient is positive, the y-coordinate of the vertex is a minimum. If the leading coefficient is negative, the y-coordinate of the vertex is a maximum.
Answer:
{1, (-1±√17)/2}
Step-by-step explanation:
There are formulas for the real and/or complex roots of a cubic, but they are so complicated that they are rarely used. Instead, various other strategies are employed. My favorite is the simplest--let a graphing calculator show you the zeros.
___
Descartes observed that the sign changes in the coefficients can tell you the number of real roots. This expression has two sign changes (+-+), so has 0 or 2 positive real roots. If the odd-degree terms have their signs changed, there is only one sign change (-++), so one negative real root.
It can also be informative to add the coefficients in both cases--as is, and with the odd-degree term signs changed. Here, the sum is zero in the first case, so we know immediately that x=1 is a zero of the expression. That is sufficient to help us reduce the problem to finding the zeros of the remaining quadratic factor.
__
Using synthetic division (or polynomial long division) to factor out x-1 (after removing the common factor of 4), we find the remaining quadratic factor to be x²+x-4.
The zeros of this quadratic factor can be found using the quadratic formula:
a=1, b=1, c=-4
x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (-1±√1+16)/2
x = (-1 ±√17)2
The zeros are 1 and (-1±√17)/2.
_____
The graph shows the zeros of the expression. It also shows the quadratic after dividing out the factor (x-1). The vertex of that quadratic can be used to find the remaining solutions exactly: -0.5 ± √4.25.
__
The given expression factors as ...
4(x -1)(x² +x -4)
Answer:
2.75 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
If it took both (meaning 2) dresses a certain amount, half of that amount is one dress. So, we need to divide 5 1/2 by 2
*1/2 of 1 = 0.5
0.5 + 5 = 5.5
5.5 / 2 = 2.75
(2.75 also equals 2 3/4)
