Which graph represents the solution set for the quadratic inequality x2 + 2x + 1 > 0?

ipn [44]

Answer:

We have to determine the graph of the given inequality as:

$x^2+2x+1>0$

on solving this equation we get:

$(x+1)^2>0$

Since we know that:

$(x+1)^2=x^2+1^2+2\times x\times 1\\\\(x+1)^2=x^2+1+2x$

Now we know that when $x=-1$ the value of:

$(x+1)^2=0$

Also for the value other than -1 the function being a quadratic function will always give a non-zero positive value.

Hence, range of the function in intervals could be written as:

(-∞,-1)∪(-1,∞).

Hence, the graph of the function will be the whole of the number line with a open circle on -1.

Anja is creating a triangle using three straws. The two shorter straws have lengths of 20 cm and 21 cm. How long, in centimeters

Digiron [165]

A^2 + b^2 = c^2...a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
20^2 + 21^2 = c^2
400 + 441 = c^2
841 = c^2
sqrt 841 = c
29 = c <== third straw will be 29 cm

The top of a ladder is 4m up a vertical wall.The bottom is 2m from the wall.The coordinate axes are the wall and the horizontal

mash [69]

Answer:

Part a) $y=-2x+4$

Part b) The coordinates of the point are $(\frac{4}{3},\frac{4}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Find the equation representing the ladder

we have the ordered pairs

(0,4) and (2,0)

Find the slope

$m=(0-4)/(2-0)=-2$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-2\\b=4$

substitute

$y=-2x+4$

Part b) A square box just fits under the ladder.Find the coordinates of the point where the box touches the ladder.

If the box is a square

the x-coordinate of the point where the box touches the ladder must be equal to the y-coordinate

x=y

$y=-2x+4$

substitute

$x=-2x+4\\3x=4\\x=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=x=\frac{4}{3}$

therefore

The coordinates of the point are $(\frac{4}{3},\frac{4}{3})$

Brianna’s teacher asks her which of these three expressions are equivalent to each other. Expression A: 9x - 3x - 4 Expression B

kvasek [131]

Brianna's thinking is wrong because obviously all of the expressions are going to equal -4 when x is 0 because -4 would be the only value. Also, if x was a different number, the expressions wouldn't be equivalent. The equivalent expressions are A. 9x - 3x - 4, and C. 5x + x - 4. This is because when both are simplified, they equal 6x - 4.
