We can solve this problem using discriminant.
x^2-4x-12's discriminant is
(-4)^2-4*-12=16+48 which is clearly larger than 0
This means that it crosses over the axes 2 times.
In case you don't know what discriminant is, its in equation ax^2+bx+c
the discriminant is b^2-4ac.
If its positive it has 2 crosses with x axis, if negative then 0 crosses, if 0 then 1 cross.
Hope this helped at least a little bit :D
Answer:
replace x with number then multiply or divide
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
480 students are transported to school each day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 12 buses and each one of them transports 40 students that means that the total amount of students will be equal to...

Answer:
a. Sage and Tom have the same number of talk minutes left on their cell phone plans.
b. y = x - 7
Explanation:
Sage talked for 7 minutes with her dad.
Tom talked for 4 minutes with a friend and 3 more minutes with his mom which means he spoke for :
= 4 + 3
= 7 minutes
They both spoke for 7 minutes and therefore have the same amount of time left.
Algebraic expression:
Assuming the time Tom started with is denoted by x and the time he is left with is denoted by y.
The expression is:
y = x - 7
Answer:
His score decreased by 9 percent this time.
