Answer:

x = - 6 , x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 5x - 6 = 0

consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 6 and - 1 , since

6 × - 1 = - 6 and 6 - 1 = + 5 , then

(x + 6)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

A 60-row theater has 20 seats in the front row. The second row has 21 seats. If each row has one more than the row in front of i
Aloiza [94]

The first row has 20 + 0 seats, the 2nd row, 20 + 1, 3rd row 20 + 2 . . . until 60th row has 20 + 59 (not 60 as the first row had 0 added on.

therefore you need to add up 20 + 21 + 22 . . . all the way to 76, 77, 78, 79.

79+ 21 = 100, 78 + 22 = 100, 77+ 23 = 100, in fact up to 49 + 51 = 100

That gives us 39 x 100 and add on the the other rows + 20 + 50

= 3970 seats

6 tenths or 6/10

it doesn't matter how many zeros you have after the .6 it's still 6 tenths. It can have a hundred zeros it will still be just .6 = 6/10 = 6 tenths

Hope that helps you. :-)
