Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y be real numbers satisfying 2/x=y/3=x/y, then any two of the equation are equated as shown;

2/x = y/3 ... 1 and;

y/3 = x/y... 2

From equation 1, 2y = 3x ... 3

and from equation 2; y² = 3x ... 4

Equating the left hand side of equation 3 and 4 since their right hand sides are equal, we will have;

2y = y²

2 = y

y = 2

Substituting y = 2 into equation 3 to get the value of x;

2y = 3x

2(2) = 3x

4 = 3x

x = 4/3

The value of x³ will be expressed as (4/3)³ = 4*4*4/3*3*3 = 64/27

What is the zero in the quadratic function f(x)= 9x^2-54x-19?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

6.33... and 0.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is

$x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ .

It is important because while some quadratics are factorable and can be solved not all are. The formula will solve all quadratic equations and can also give both real and imaginary solutions. Using the formula will require less work than finding the factors if factorable. We will substitute a=9, b=-54 and c=-19.

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-54)+/-\sqrt{(-54)^2-4(9)(-19)} }{2(9)}\\x=\frac{54+/-\sqrt{2916+684} }{18}$

We will now solve for the plus and the minus.

The plus,,,

$x=\frac{54+\sqrt{3600}}{18}\\x=\frac{54+60}{18}\\x=\frac{114}{18}\\x=6.3$

and the minus...

$x=\frac{54-\sqrt{3600}}{18}\\x=\frac{54-60}{18}\\x=\frac{-6}{18}\\x=-0.333...$

What is the completely factored form 8x2-50y2?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Remember
a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)

8x²-50y²
2(4x²-25y²)
(2)([2x]²-[5y]²)
2(2x-5y)(2x+5y)

Which of the following notations correctly describe the end behavior of the polynomial graphed below?

algol13

The right answer is C

Let me to explain. From the graph we know that the vertex of this parabola is $V(0,8)$ . This is a maximum y-value. We also know that the parabola opens downward, so the leading coefficient is negative. Given that the function is even and the leading coefficient is negative, it follows that the graph falls to the left and right. In a mathematical language this is:

$x \rightarrow -\infty, f(x) \rightarrow -\infty \\ \\ x \rightarrow \infty, f(x) \rightarrow -\infty$
