What is the area of the square whose side measures 2x-5 cm?
It is: (2x-5)(2x-5) = 2.5 square cm when solved as a quadratic equation
What is 10x squared -29x plus 10 equals 0 when factored and its solutions?
Equation: 10x^2 -29x +10 = 0 When factored: (2x-5)(5x-2) = 0 Its solutions: x = 5/2 or x = 2/5
What is the equation of the line that goes through 3 1 and is parallel to the line 3x plus 5y equals 6?
Known equation: 3x+5y = 6 or y = -3/5x +6/5 Slope of equation: -3/5 Slope of parallel equation: -3/5 Parallel equation: y-1 = -3/5(x-3) => 5y = -3x+14 Parallel equation in its general form: 3x+5y-14 = 0
How do you find the standard form of a linear equation knowing only the y intercept and the slope IE A line has a slope of 5 over 3 and a y intercept of 1 over 2 State the equation in standard form?
Since we know the slope, m = 5/3, and the y-intercept 1/2, we arw able to write the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, so we have y = (5/3)x + 1/2.The standard form of the equation of the line is Ax + By = C.y = (5/3)x + 1/2y - y - 1/2 = (5/3)x - y + 1/2 - 1/2-1/2 = (5/3)x - y or(5/3)x - y = -1/2Thus, the standard form, Ax + By = C, of the equation of the line is (5/3)x - y = -1/2.
How do you graph a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is an equation with the form: y=Ax2+Bx+C The most important point when graphing a parabola (the shape formed by a quadratic) is the vertex. The vertex is the maximum or minimum of the parabola. The x value of the vertex is equal to -B/(2A). Once you have the x value, just plug it back into the original equation to get the corresponding y value. The resulting ordered pair is the location of the vertex. A parabola will be concave up (pointed downward) if A is +. It will be concave down (pointed upward) if A is -. It is often helpful to find the zeroes of a function when graphing. This can be done by factoring or using the quadratic formula. For every n units away from the vertex on the x-axis, the corresponding y value goes up (or down) by n2*A. Parabolas are symetrical along the vertex, which means that if one point is n units from the vertex, the point -n units from the vertex has the same y value. As an example take the following quadratic: 2x2-8x+3 A=2, B=-8, and C=3 The x value of the vertex is -B/2A=-(-8)/(2*2)=2 By plugging 2 into the original equation we get that the vertex is at (2,-5) 3 units to the right (x=5) has a y value of -5+32*2=13. This means that 3 units to the left (x=-1) has the same y value (-1,13). If you need a clearer explanation, ask a math teacher.
