What substitution should be used to rewrite 6(x + 5)2 + 5(x + 5) – 4 = 0 as a quadratic equation? u = (x + 5) u = (x – 5) u = (x

+ 5)2 u = (x – 5)2

6(x+5)² + 5(x+5)-4 = 0

(x+5)(x+5) = x(x+5)+5(x+5) = x² + 5x + 5x + 25 = x² + 10x + 25

6(x²+10x+25) + 5(x+5) - 4 = 0
6x² + 60x + 150 + 5x + 25 - 4 = 0
6x² + 60x + 5x + 150 + 25 - 4 = 0
6x² + 65x + 171 = 0

<span>u = (x + 5)</span>

If two or more polygons are congruent, which statement must be true about the polygons? Read all of the choices before deciding.
hodyreva [135]
The best correct answer is option E. If two or more polygons are congruent, then rigid transformations can be used to map one polygon onto the other. <span>Two figures are said to be congruent when they have the same shape and size or if one object is a mirror image of the other object.</span>

If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b (x) = StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot, what is the domain of (b circle a) (x)?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

[1,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}

a(x)=3x+1

Since we want to know the domain of (b \circ a)(x), let's first consider the domain of the inside function, that is, that of a(x)=3x+1. Every polynomial function has domain all real numbers.

So we can plug anything for function a and get a number back.

Now the other function is going to be worrisome because it has a square root. You cannot take square root of negative numbers if you are only considering real numbers which that is the case with most texts.

Let's find (b \circ a)(x) and simplify now.

(b \circ a)(x)

b(a(x))

b(3x+1)

\sqrt{(3x+1)-4}

\sqrt{3x+1-4}

\sqrt{3x-3}

Now again we can only square root positive or zero numbers so we want 3x-3 \ge 0.

Let's solve this to find the domain of (b \circ a)(x).

3x-3 \ge 0

Add 3 on both sides:

3x \ge 3

Divide both sides by 3:

x \ge 1

So we want x to be a number greater than or equal to 1.

The option that says this is [1,\infty)

-------------------------------

Give an example why option A fails:

A number in the given set is -2.

a(x)=3x+1

b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}

So a(-2)=3(-2)+1=-6+1=-5 and b(-5)=\sqrt{-5-4}=\sqrt{-9} \text{ which is not real}.

Give an example why option B fails:

A number in the given set is 0.

a(x)=3x+1

b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}

So a(0)=3(0)+1=0+1=1 and b(1)=\sqrt{1-4}=\sqrt{-3} \text{ which is not real}.

Give an example why option D fails:

While all the numbers in set D work, there are more numbers outside that range of numbers that also work.

A number not in the given set that works is 3.

a(x)=3x+1

b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}

So a(3)=3(3)+1=9+1=10 and b(1)=\sqrt{10-4}=\sqrt{6} \text{ which is real}.
