Which equation has x-intercepts located at (-1,0) and (-5,0)?

Answer:

B. y = (x+1)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x-intercepts are (-1,0) and (-5,0), then the solutions (also called zeros and x-intercepts) are

x = -1 and x = -5

This is a "working backwards" kind of problem. If you were solving the equation, right before the final step, x=-1 would have been:

x + 1 = 0

Right before x=-5

would have been,

x + 5 = 0.

These two: x+1 and x+5 are called the linear factors. You multiply them back together to find the equation.

y = (x+1)(x+5)

The expression 87000(1.12)^t represents the population of a town t hears after 1996. By what percent does the population increas
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage increase of something is often represented in a formula of a format like this:

X=Ar^t

Where X represents the total amount after t years.

A or 87000 in this case represents the starting value, which is this case is the starting population of the town. r or 1.12 represents the percentage increase, if it increases by 12% than the next year has 1.12 times as many people as the previous year so this is represented by 1.12 rather than say 0.12 which would indicate a 88% decrease instead.  t is the time, no. of years in this case, that has elapsed since 1996.

This formula basically means that a town population of 87000 increases by 12% for every year of time that elapses.
