What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, -1) and (-2, 3)?
Can you help me answer this? I keep getting y = -4/6x + ? and it has to be written in general form.
-------------------------
Find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx = (3 - (-1))/(-2 -4) = 4/-6 = -2/3
----------
Use y = mx + b and either point to find b
-1 = (-2/3)*4 + b
b = -1 + 8/3 = 5/3
-------------
Then it's y = mx + b
--------------------
The eqn is
y = (-2/3)x + 5/3
Or 2x + 3y = 5

n & n+2 are the numbers
%28n%2B2%29%5E2+-+n%5E2+=+n%5E2+%2B+2n+%2B+4+-+n%5E2+=+2n+%2B+4
2*(n + n+2) = 2n+4
----------------
It's true for odd or even numbers, as shown above.
The difference between the squares is the difference between the numbers times the sum of the numbers.
Diff of squares = (Diff of numbers) * (sum of numbers)
There's no good reason to try to remember that, imo.

Condense the expression
Inx-In6-2Inx
------------
I think you mean ln, natural log
ln(x) - ln(6) - 2ln(x) = -ln(6) - ln(x)
= - ln(6/x)
= ln(x/6)

---------------------
The 2nd number should be n-2, since both numbers are odd.
n%5E2+-+%28n-2%29%5E2+=+40
n%5E2+-+%28n%5E2+-+4n+%2B+4%29+=+40
4n - 4 = 40
4n = 44
n = 11
--> 11 & 9

PS Use n^2 for squared, the shifted 6.

t/t-4 = t + 4/6
I assume you mean t/(t-4) and not (t/t) - 4
Use parentheses.
----------
t/(t-4) = (t+4)/6
Multiply thru by 6(t-4)
6t = (t-4)*(t+4) = t^2 - 16
t%5E2+-+6t+-+16+=+0
(t-8)*(t+2) = 0
t = -2, 8

eg: x%5E2+-+5x+%2B+7+=+0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B-5x%2B7+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-5%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A7=-3.

The discriminant -3 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -3 is + or - sqrt%28+3%29+=+1.73205080756888.

Here's your graph:

x%5E2+-+x+-12+=+0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-12+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-1%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-12=49.

Discriminant d=49 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28--1%2B-sqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-1%29%2Bsqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+4
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-1%29-sqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-3

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-12 can be factored:
1x%5E2%2B-1x%2B-12+=+%28x-4%29%2A%28x--3%29
Again, the answer is: 4, -3. Here's your graph:

60 mi/hr = 1 mile/minute
The truck is 7 miles ahead (1*7)
The car "gains on" the truck at 12 mph (72 - 60)
It'll take 7/12 hours = 35 minutes
----------------------------------
PS "gains on" is a common term, but it's better to consider a different frame of reference.
The speed of the car relative to the truck is 12 mi/hr is a better perspective.
