Let f(x) = x * (3x + 1) = 3x2 + x
Let's see what f(x) is when x is at the endpoints of the interval.
f(-7/3) = 3(-7/3)2 + (-7/3) = 14
f(2) = 3(2)2 + 2 = 14
Aha! they are the same, just as I suspected! 🕵️♀️
Let's see what f(x) is when x is in the interval.
f(0) = 3(0)2 + 0 = 0
And it is true that 0 < 14
Since f(x) is a parabola, we can be sure that f(x) < 14 if and only if x is in the interval (-7/3, 2)

(This question reminds me of this solution )
m∠EFH = m∠EGF because they are both right angles
m∠FEH = m∠GEF because they are the same angle
So by the AA similarity theorem, △EFH ~ △EGF
EF / EH = EG / EF
Multiply both sides of the equation by EF
EF2 / EH = EG
Multiply both sides of the equation by EH
EF2 = (EG)(EH)
Take the square root of both sides.
EF = \(\sqrt{\text{(EG)(EH)}}\)
By the way, welcome to the forum!
Remember, the radius of a circle is the distance between the center and a point on the circle.
The center of the circle is (2, 3)
The point (-2, 0) is on the circle.
Let's use the distance formula to find the radius.
radius = distance between (2, 3) and (-2, 0)
radius = \(\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(-2-2)^2}\)
radius = \(\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}\)
radius = \(\sqrt{9+16}\)
radius = \(\sqrt{25}\)
radius = 5

Let Mai's height = m
Let Jon's height = j
We want to find \(\frac{m}{j}\)
\(\frac14\) of Mai's height | - is equal to - | \(\frac25\) of Jon's height | |
\(\frac14\) of Mai's height | = | \(\frac25\) of Jon's height |
|
\(\frac14\cdot m\) | = | \(\frac25\cdot j\) |
\(\frac14\cdot m\ =\ \frac25\cdot j\)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4
\(m\ =\ \frac85\cdot j\)
Divide both sides of the equation by j
\(\frac{m}{j}\ =\ \frac85\)
The ratio of m to j is \(\frac85\)
