g(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 5

g(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 5

g(x) = (x - 2)^2 + 5

g(x) = (x + 2)^2 + 5

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $g(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 5$

Cevap

The equation

g(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 5

could define the function

g

.

The vertex form of a quadratic function is given by

g(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

, where the point

(h, k)

is the vertex of the parabola. We are given that the vertex is

(2, -5)

, which means

h = 2

and

k = -5

. Substituting these values into the vertex form equation gives

g(x) = a(x - 2)^2 - 5

. Letting

a = 1

yields the equation

g(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the vertex form of a quadratic function.

The vertex form of a quadratic function is written as

g(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

, where

(h, k)

is the vertex of the parabola and

a

is a non-zero constant.

Recognizing the vertex form allows us to directly substitute the coordinates of the given vertex.

2

Substitute the given vertex coordinates into the vertex form equation.

Given the vertex is

(2, -5)

, we substitute

h = 2

and

k = -5

into the vertex form:

g(x) = a(x - 2)^2 - 5

. If we assume

a = 1

, this simplifies to

g(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 5

.

This matches one of the given choices to find the equation that could define the function.

Cevap: 6

6

The correct answer is 6. By substituting the line equation

y = kx

into the circle equation, we obtain the quadratic equation

(k^2 + 1)x^2 - 10(k + 1)x + 32 = 0

. For the circle and line to intersect at exactly two points, this equation must have two distinct real roots, meaning its discriminant must be positive. This leads to the inequality

7k^2 - 50k + 7 < 0

, which factors as

(7k - 1)(k - 7) < 0

. The solution is the interval

\frac{1}{7} < k < 7

. The integer values of

k

in this range are

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

and

6

, giving a total of 6 integers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Substitute the line equation

y = kx

into the circle equation

(x - 5)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 18

.

(x - 5)^2 + (kx - 5)^2 = 18

Substitution reduces the system of equations to a single quadratic equation in

x

, representing the

x

-coordinates of the intersection points.

2

Expand the terms and write the equation in standard quadratic form

Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0

.

(k^2 + 1)x^2 - 10(k + 1)x + 32 = 0

Putting the equation in standard form is necessary to analyze its discriminant.

3

Set the discriminant

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

strictly greater than zero to ensure exactly two distinct real solutions.

[-10(k+1)]^2 - 4(k^2 + 1)(32) > 0 \Rightarrow 7k^2 - 50k + 7 < 0

A quadratic equation has two distinct real roots if and only if its discriminant is positive.

4

Solve the quadratic inequality

7k^2 - 50k + 7 < 0

by factoring the quadratic expression.

\frac{1}{7} < k < 7

The roots of

(7k - 1)(k - 7) = 0

are

k = \frac{1}{7}

and

k = 7

. Since the leading coefficient is positive, the expression is negative between these roots.

5

Identify and count the integer values of

k

that lie within the interval

(\frac{1}{7}, 7)

The integers are

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Solving the system algebraically by expressing

y

as

2x + 5

and substituting it into the quadratic equation leads to

x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0

. Factoring this equation yields

x = 6

and

x = -1

. Evaluating these values in the linear equation gives the coordinates

(6, 17)

and

(-1, 3)

. Since

17 > 3

, the point

(6, 17)

corresponds to

(x_1, y_1)

and

(-1, 3)

corresponds to

(x_2, y_2)

. The difference

x_1 - x_2

6 - (-1) = 7

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Solve for

y

in the linear equation to express it in terms of

x

.

y = 2x + 5

This allows for substitution into the quadratic equation to eliminate one variable.

Substitute

2x + 5

for

y

in the quadratic equation.

2x + 5 = x^2 - 3x - 1

3

Rearrange the equation by subtracting

2x

and

5

from both sides to set it equal to zero.

x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0

Setting the quadratic equation to zero is the standard first step to find its roots.

4

Factor the quadratic trinomial.

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

5

Substitute the

x

-values back into the linear equation

y = 2x + 5

to determine the corresponding

y

-values.

For

x = 6

,

y = 2(6) + 5 = 17

. For

x = -1

,

y = 2(-1) + 5 = 3

. The intersection points are

(6, 17)

and

(-1, 3)

.

This defines the full coordinate pairs of the system's solutions.

6

Apply the condition

y_1 > y_2

to identify

Since

17 > 3

, the first solution is

(x_1, y_1) = (6, 17)

and the second solution is

Cevap: 1

Cevap

The value of

k

is 1.

Substituting

x^2 = k - y

into

x^2 + y^2 + 8y = 9

gives

y^2 + 7y + k - 9 = 0

. For the system to have exactly 3 distinct real solutions, the vertex of the parabola

y = -x^2 + k

must lie on the circle, which corresponds to the root

y = k

. Substituting

y = k

into the quadratic equation yields

k^2 + 8k - 9 = 0

, which gives

k = 1

or

k = -9

. For

k = 1

, the roots of the quadratic are

y = 1

and

y = -8

. The root

y = 1

yields 1 real solution,

(0, 1)

, and the root

y = -8

yields 2 real solutions,

(3, -8)

and

(-3, -8)

, for a total of 3 real solutions. For

k = -9

, the roots are

y = -9

and

y = 2

. The root

y = 2

does not yield any real solutions for

x

because

2 > -9

The correct answer is 18. Let the roots of the equation be

r

and

2r

. The product of the roots is given by

\frac{c}{a} = \frac{24}{3} = 8

. Therefore,

2r^2 = 8

, which means

r^2 = 4

. Since

k > 0

, the roots must be positive, so

r = 2

and the two roots are 2 and 4. The sum of the roots is

2 + 4 = 6

. According to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots is also equal to

-\frac{b}{a} = \frac{k}{3}

Define the roots and set up the product of the roots using Vieta's formulas.

Let the roots be

r \times 2r = 2r^2

. From the equation

3x^2 - kx + 24 = 0

Solve for the root variable

r

Setting

2r^2 = 8

\frac{3(x+2)}{x}

. The second term factors into

\frac{2(x+3)(x-2)}{x(x+3)}

To find the value of

k

where the line

3x + 4y = k

x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y = 20

in standard form by completing the square:

(x^2 - 2x + 1) + (y^2 - 4y + 4) = 20 + 1 + 4

, which simplifies to

(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25

. This is a circle centered at

(1, 2)

with a radius of

5

. A line is tangent to a circle if the perpendicular distance from the center of the circle to the line is equal to the radius of the circle. Using the distance formula

\frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 - C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}

for the point

(1, 2)

and the line

3x + 4y - k = 0

, we set up the equation:

\frac{|3(1) + 4(2) - k|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} = 5

. This simplifies to

\frac{|11 - k|}{5} = 5

, or

|11 - k| = 25

. Solving the absolute value equation gives

11 - k = 25 \Rightarrow k = -14

Identify the time

t

at which the maximum height occurs using the vertex formula

t = -\frac{B}{2A}

for the quadratic function

h(t) = At^2 + Bt + C

.

t = \frac{b}{10}

The vertex of a downward-opening parabola represents its maximum value. For

h(t) = -5t^2 + bt + 12

, the coefficients are

A = -5

and

B = b

.

2

Substitute the time

t = \frac{b}{10}

back into the height function

h(t)

and set the expression equal to the maximum height of

32

meters.

-5\left(\frac{b}{10}\right)^2 + b\left(\frac{b}{10}\right) + 12 = 32

At the maximum height, the height of the projectile is

32

meters, which corresponds to the value of the function at the vertex time.

3

Simplify the equation to solve for

b^2

.

\frac{b^2}{20} = 20

Squaring the fraction yields

-5\left(\frac{b^2}{100}\right) + \frac{b^2}{10} + 12 = 32

. Simplifying the coefficients leads to

-\frac{b^2}{20} + \frac{b^2}{10} = 20

, which simplifies to

\frac{b^2}{20} = 20

Solve the equation for

b

b = 20

Multiplying both sides by

For a constant $k$ , the quadratic equation $x^2 - 2kx + k^2 - 4k + 3 = 0$ has two distinct real solutions. If both solutions are positive, which of the following describes all possible values of $k$ ?

k > 3

\frac{3}{4} < k < 1

k > 3

k > \frac{3}{4}

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $k > 3$ or $\frac{3}{4} < k < 1$

Cevap

k > 3

or

\frac{3}{4} < k < 1

The correct answer is the option that includes both the interval between

\frac{3}{4}

and

1

and the interval greater than

3

. To ensure the quadratic equation has two distinct real solutions, the discriminant must be positive, which yields

k > \frac{3}{4}

. To ensure both solutions are positive, their sum and product must both be positive. The sum

2k > 0

requires

k > 0

. The product

k^2 - 4k + 3 > 0

requires

k < 1

or

k > 3

. The intersection of all these inequalities is

\frac{3}{4} < k < 1

or

k > 3

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the condition for two distinct real solutions using the discriminant.

k > \frac{3}{4}

For the quadratic equation

x^2 - 2kx + k^2 - 4k + 3 = 0

to have two distinct real solutions, its discriminant

\Delta

must be strictly greater than

0

. Here,

a = 1

,

b = -2k

, and

c = k^2 - 4k + 3

. Thus,

\Delta = (-2k)^2 - 4(1)(k^2 - 4k + 3) = 4k^2 - 4k^2 + 16k - 12 = 16k - 12

. Setting

\Delta > 0

gives

16k - 12 > 0

, which simplifies to

k > \frac{3}{4}

.

2

Set up conditions for both solutions to be positive using the sum and product of the roots.

2k > 0

and

k^2 - 4k + 3 > 0

If a quadratic equation has two positive solutions, their sum must be positive and their product must also be positive. By Vieta's formulas, the sum of the solutions is

-\frac{b}{a} = 2k

and the product of the solutions is

\frac{c}{a} = k^2 - 4k + 3

.

3

Solve the inequalities for the sum and product of the roots.

k > 0

and either

k < 1

or

k > 3

The sum condition

2k > 0

simplifies to

k > 0

. The product condition

k^2 - 4k + 3 > 0

factors as

(k-1)(k-3) > 0

, which is satisfied when

k < 1

or

k > 3

.

4

Find the intersection of all the derived inequalities.

\frac{3}{4} < k < 1

or

k > 3

We must find the values of

k

that satisfy all three conditions:

k > \frac{3}{4}

,

k > 0

, and (

k < 1

or

k > 3

). Combining

k > \frac{3}{4}

and

k > 0

yields

k > \frac{3}{4}

. Combining

k > \frac{3}{4}

with the constraint that

k

must be less than

1

or greater than

3

gives the combined solution of

\frac{3}{4} < k < 1

or

k > 3

.

Alternatif Yöntem

Alternatively, you can write the solutions using the quadratic formula:

x = \frac{2k \pm \sqrt{16k - 12}}{2} = k \pm \sqrt{4k - 3}

. For both roots to be positive and distinct, we first need the term under the radical to be positive, so

4k - 3 > 0 \implies k > \frac{3}{4}

. Then, we need the smaller root to be positive:

k - \sqrt{4k - 3} > 0 \implies k > \sqrt{4k - 3}

. Since

k > \frac{3}{4} > 0

, we can square both sides:

k^2 > 4k - 3 \implies k^2 - 4k + 3 > 0 \implies (k - 1)(k - 3) > 0

. This yields

k < 1

or

k > 3

. Combining this with

k > \frac{3}{4}

gives the same result:

\frac{3}{4} < k < 1

or

k > 3

.

To solve the equation

3^{x+4} = 9^x

3^2

, which gives

3^{x+4} = (3^2)^x

. Applying the exponent rule

(a^m)^n = a^{mn}

, we get

3^{x+4} = 3^{2x}

. Since the bases are now the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

x+4 = 2x

. Subtracting

x

from both sides yields the solution

4

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express both sides of the equation with a common base.

Since

9 = 3^2

, the equation

3^{x+4} = 9^x

can be rewritten as

3^{x+4} = (3^2)^x

. Using the power of a power rule, this becomes

3^{x+4} = 3^{2x}

.

To solve an exponential equation, it is helpful to have the same base on both sides so that the exponents can be equated.

2

Set the exponents equal to each other.

x + 4 = 2x

Since the bases are equal and positive (and not equal to 1), their exponents must be equal.

4 seconds

The height of the rocket is modeled by the quadratic function

h(t) = -5t^2 + 40t

. Because the coefficient of

t^2

is negative (

a = -5

), the graph of this function is a parabola that opens downward, meaning its vertex represents the maximum height. The time

t

at which the vertex occurs is given by

t = -\frac{b}{2a}

. Substituting

a = -5

and

b = 40

gives

t = -\frac{40}{2(-5)} = 4

seconds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation.

a = -5

,

b = 40

, and

c = 0

The equation is given in standard quadratic form

h(t) = at^2 + bt + c

.

2

Apply the vertex formula to find the time at which the maximum height occurs.

t = -\frac{b}{2a}

For a downward-opening parabola, the maximum value occurs at the vertex.

3

Substitute the values of

a

and

b

and simplify.

t = -\frac{40}{2(-5)} = 4

This calculation yields the time in seconds when the rocket reaches its maximum height.

Substitute the linear equation

y = 3x

Expand and simplify the equation.

10x^2 - 18x = 0

Expanding

(x - 3)^2

to

x^2 - 6x + 9

(3x - 2)^2

to

9x^2 - 12x + 4

, then combining like terms and subtracting 13 from both sides, isolates the quadratic terms.

The correct answer is 8. By Vieta's formulas, the sum of the solutions is

r + s = -\frac{-12}{3} = 4

and their product is

rs = \frac{c}{3}

. The given equation

\frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{s} = \frac{3}{2}

can be rewritten as

\frac{r+s}{rs} = \frac{3}{2}

. Substituting the expressions for the sum and product gives

\frac{4}{c/3} = \frac{12}{c} = \frac{3}{2}

. Solving this equation yields

c = 8

. Checking the discriminant of the resulting quadratic equation

3x^2 - 12x + 8 = 0

gives

\Delta = (-12)^2 - 4(3)(8) = 48

, which is positive and confirms the existence of two real solutions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Use Vieta's formulas to express the sum and product of the solutions in terms of the coefficients of the quadratic equation.

The sum of the solutions is

r + s = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-12}{3} = 4

, and the product of the solutions is

rs = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{c}{3}

.

Vieta's formulas relate the sum and product of the roots of a quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

directly to its coefficients.

2

Express the given algebraic relation

\frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{s}

in terms of

r+s

and

rs

by finding a common denominator.

\frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{s} = \frac{s + r}{rs} = \frac{r + s}{rs}

.

Finding a common denominator allows us to rewrite the sum of reciprocals using the sum and product of the solutions.

3

Substitute the sum and product from Step 1 into the rewritten equation and solve for

c

.

Substituting the values gives

\frac{4}{\frac{c}{3}} = \frac{3}{2}

, which simplifies to

\frac{12}{c} = \frac{3}{2}

. Solving for

c

yields

3c = 24

, or

c = 8

.

This substitution turns the given relation into a single linear equation in terms of the variable

c

.

4

Verify that

c = 8

yields two real solutions by checking the discriminant of the quadratic equation.

The discriminant is

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-12)^2 - 4(3)(8) = 144 - 96 = 48

. Since

\Delta > 0

, there are indeed two real solutions.

The problem states that the equation has two real solutions, so we must confirm that

c = 8

satisfies this condition.
