Answer:
m∠QPM=43°
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
m∠NPQ=m∠MPN+m∠MPQ
we have
m∠NPQ=(9x-25)°
m∠MPN=(4x+12)°
m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°
substitute the given values and solve for x
(9x-25)°=(4x+12)°+(3x-5)°
(9x-25)°=(7x+7)°
9x-7x=25+7
2x=32
x=16
Find the measure of angle QPM
Remember that
m∠QPM=m∠MPQ
m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°
substitute the value of x
m∠MPQ=(3(16)-5)=43°
therefore
m∠QPM=43°
The letter a represents the coefficient of
The absolute value of a (the number without the sign) controls how wide or narrow it is. If the absolute value is a fraction less than 1 the graph gets wider. The smaller the absolute value of the fraction the wider the graph gets.
If the absolute value of a is greater than 1 the graph gets narrower (it gets skinnier). The bigger the absolute value the narrower the graph.
So, if all the graphs look like a U (concave up) then the one with the smallest a is the one that is the widest.
The a also controls whether the graph is concave up or concave down. If a is negative
If a is negative the graph is concave down so any graph that is concave down has a smaller value of a than any graph that is concave up. However, if the graph is concave down the one with the smallest a would be the most narrow one.
So to find the one with the smallest a...
If they are all concave up (like a U) pick the widest one
and
If they are not all concave up pick the narrowest one that is concave down (looks like an upside down U)
