Answer:

(2)  x^2-3x-4=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a quadratic equation:  ax^2+bx+c=0

When factoring a quadratic (finding the roots) we find two numbers that multiply to ac and sum to b, then rewrite b as the sum of these two numbers.

So if the roots <u>sum to 3</u> and <u>multiply to -4</u>, then the two numbers would be 4 and -1.

\implies b=1+-4=-3

\implies ac=1 \cdot -4

As there the leading coefficient is 1, c=-4.  

Therefore, the equation would be:  x^2-3x-4=0

<u>Proof</u>

Factor  x^2-3x-4=0

Find two numbers that multiply to ac and sum to b.

The two numbers that multiply to -4 and sum to -3 are:  -4 and 1.

Rewrite b as the sum of these two numbers:

\implies x^2-4x+x-4=0

Factorize the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

\implies x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

Factor out the common term  (x-4):

\implies (x+1)(x-4)=0

Therefore, the roots are:  

(x+1)=0 \implies x=-1

(x-4)=0 \implies x=4

So the sum of the roots is:  -1 + 4 = 3

And the product of the roots is:  -1 × 4 = -4

Thereby proving that  x^2-3x-4=0  has roots whose sum is 3 and whose product is -4.

A pound of chocolate cost $6. Nicole buys p pounds. Write an equation to represent the total cost of c that Nicole pays.?
leonid [27]

Answer:

C=6p

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost (c) will be by itself since that is the answer you are looking for. 6p is grouped together because for every pound you pay $6. For example if you had 2 pounds of chocolate. You would multiple $6 by 2 and your cost would equal $12

If ƒ(x ) = 3x + 1 and ƒ -1 = , then ƒ -1(7) =
Elden [556K]
F(x) = 3x + 1

let f(x) = y

y = 3x + 1

y - 1 = 3x

3x = y - 1

x = (y - 1)/3

From y = f(x),  x = f⁻¹(y) 

<span>x = (y - 1)/3
</span>
 f⁻¹(y)  = (y - 1)/3

f⁻¹(7)  = <span>(7 - 1)/3 = 6/3 = 2

</span>f⁻¹(7)<span> = 2</span>
