qrst is a square find Qu if qs =16t-14 and qu=6t+11

Answers

Answer 1

You have the square QRST, furthermore, you have that sides QS and QU are given by the following algebraic expressions:

QS = 16t - 14

QU = 6t + 11

Due to QRST is a square, the length of all sides are equal.

You can notice by the symmetry of the figure that QS = 2QU

Equal the expressions for QS and 2QU and solvde for t:

16t - 14 = 2(6t + 11) apply distribution property

16t - 14 = 12t + 22 add 14 both sides

16t = 12t + 22 + 14 subtract 12t both sides

16t - 12t = 22 + 14 simplfy like terms

4t = 36 divide by 4 both sides

t = 36/4 simplify the fraction

t = 9

Hence, the value of t is t = 9

Answer:

answer     y=-5/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is decreasing so the slope is negative

Rise is 5 run is 3 so its 5/3 but the slope is negative so its -5/3

Y intercept is located at 0,5 so it equals 5

y=-5/3x+5

The equation of line will be;

⇒ y = - 5/3x + 5

What is Equation of line?

The equation of line in point-slope form passing through the points

(x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) with slope m is defined as;

⇒ y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Where, m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Given that;

The equation of line is decreasing.

The rise will be 5.

The run will be 3.

Now,

Since, The equation of line is decreasing.

Hence, The slope of the line is negative.

Here, The rise will be 5.

The run will be 3.

So, The slope = Rise / Run

                      = 5/3

Thus, The slope = - 5/3

So, The equation of line in point-slope form will be;

⇒ y = mx + b

⇒ y = - 5/3x + 5

Thus, The equation of line will be;

⇒ y = - 5/3x + 5

The factored form of the quadratic equation 2x² + 25x + 50 is (2x + 5)(x + 10)

How to factor quadratic equations?

Factoring quadratics is a method of expressing the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 as a product of its linear factors as (x - k)(x - h), where h, k are the roots of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0.

Therefore, let's factor the equation 2x² + 25x + 50.

2x² + 25x + 50

The two numbers one can multiply and add to get 100 and 25 respectively are 20 and 5.

Therefore,

2x² + 20x + 5x + 50

2x(x + 10)+ 5(x + 10)

Answer the questions below about the quadratic function.f(x) = -2x² - 4x

Answers

We are given the function below;

[tex]f(x)=-2x^2-4x[/tex]

PART A

We then proceed to find if the function has a minimum or maximum value. To find if the function has a minimum or maximum value. If the x^2 coefficient is positive, the function has a minimum. If it is negative, the function has a maximum.

ANSWER: From the above, we can see that x^2 is negative, hence the function has a maximum

PART B and C

To find the minimum or maximum value, we would plot the graph of the f(x). The graph can be seen below.

From the graph, the black point helps answer part A and part B.

ANSWER: The function's maximum value is f(x)=2.

This is the point where the slope of the graph is equal to zero

ANSWER: The maximum value then occurs at x= -1

We can also solve this by differentiating the function.

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=-2x^2-4x \\ f^{\prime}(x)=-4x-4 \\ At\xi maxmum\text{ }f^{\prime}(x)=0 \\ -4x-4=0 \\ -4x=4 \\ x=-\frac{4}{4} \\ x=-1 \\ \therefore\text{The max}imum\text{ value occurs at x=-1} \\ \text{Inserting the value of x into the function, we have} \\ f(x)=-2(-1)^2-4(-1) \\ f(x)=-2+4 \\ f(x)=2 \\ \therefore\text{The function max}imum\text{ value is 2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Determine whether the dilation from A to B is an enlargement or a reduction. Then find the scale factor of the dilation.

Answers

From the figure we notice that the figure B is smaller than figure A, hence the dilation is a reduction.

Now, to find the dilation factor we notice that the right side of figure A has length 6; the same side for figure B has length 2; then we need to find a factor that fullfils:

solving for k we have that:

Solving Linear Inequalities

Answers

In Step 2 have a mistake in student solution so the option B is correct answer.

In the given question,

A student solved the inequality [tex]\frac{-x+4}{3} > \frac{x+1}{2}[/tex].

We have to find the error in the student solution.

To find the mistake we first solve the give inequality.

The equality is [tex]\frac{-x+4}{3} > \frac{x+1}{2}[/tex]

To solve this equality we firstly equal the denominator by multiplying and divide 2 on left side and 3 on right side.

So [tex]\frac{2}{2}\times\frac{-x+4}{3} > \frac{x+1}{2}\times\frac{3}{3}[/tex]

Now simplifying

[tex]\frac{2(-x+4)}{6} > \frac{3(x+1)}{6}[/tex]

Now simplifying the brackets of numerator ob both side using distributive property.

In Distributive Property: a(b+c)=ab+bc

[tex]\frac{2\times(-x)+2\times4}{6} > \frac{3\times x+3\times1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-2x+8}{6} > \frac{3x+3}{6}[/tex]

Since the both side have same numerator. So we can write the inequality as

-2x+8 > 3x+3

Subtract 8 on both side

-2x+8-8 > 3x+3-8

-2x > 3x-5

Subtract 3x on both side

-2x-3x > 3x-5-3x

-5x > -5

Divide by -5 on both side

-5/-5 x > -5/-5

x > 1

Hence the value of x is greater than 1.

Now we see the step on student.

We can see that in step 2 has mistake. In step 2 student doesn't use distributive property to solve the bracket.

Hence, we can say that option 2 is correct.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 7) and (-4, 19).
m =

Answers

The slope, m, of the line that passes through (2, 7) and (-4, 19) is -2.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

A line is passing through two points (2,7) and (-4,19).

We know that the slope of the line is denoted by m and the following formula is used to find the slope of the line passing through two points:

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(More to know: we can also easily find the equation of the line using the slope given and the points from which the line is passing.)

In this case, we have x1 = 2, y1 = 7, x2 = -4 and y2 = 19.

m = (19-7)/(-4-2)

m = 12/(-6)

m = -2

Hence, the slope, m, of the line that passes through (2, 7) and (-4, 19) is -2.

Answers

Solution

- To find the minimum values of the functions, we need to find the x-value of the vertex of the quadratic function, and then subsitute this x-value into the function to get its minimum value, while for the quintic equation, we simply apply the fact that it is an odd function. Because of this, the tails of the function move in opposite directions; one towards positive infinity, while the other moves towards negative infinity.

- The formula for finding the x-value of the vertex of a quadratic function is:

[tex]x=-\frac{b}{2a},\text{ Given, }ax^2+bx+c=f(x)[/tex]

- Thus, we can find the x-value of the vertex for the quadratic equation as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=3x^2+1 \\ a=3,b=0,c=1 \\ \\ \therefore x=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{0}{2(3)}=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

- Now that we have the x-value of the vertex of the quadratic equation, we can find its minimum value as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=3x^2+1 \\ put\text{ }x=0 \\ f(x)=3(0)^2+1 \\ f(x)=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

- Thus, the minimum value of the quadratic equation is 1.

- Next, we already know that the quintic equation moves down towards negative infinity. Thus f(x), the quintic equation, has a smaller minimum value

Final Answer

f(x), the quintic equation, has a smaller minimum value
