The values of the coefficients a, b and c in the equation is -2, 1 and -1 respectively.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on any other variable for its value whereas a dependent variable is a variable that depend on any other variable for its value.

Given the polynomial:

-2x³ - 7x² + 3x - 4

Simplifying:

= -(2x² - x + 1)(x + 4)

Hence:

-2x³ - 7x² + 3x - 4 = (-2x² + x - 1)(x + 4)

(x + 4)(ax² + bx + c) = −2x³ − 7x² + 3x − 4

The values of the coefficients a, b and c in the equation is -2, 1 and -1 respectively.

Answer:

80 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

First, work out how many minutes are in two hours.

2 hours = 120 minutes.

Multiply 2/3 by 120

2/3 × 120 = 240/3

Simplify the the fraction

240/3 = 80/1 = 80.

Mark, Jessica, and Nate each downloaded music from the same website. Mark downloaded 10 songs in total consisting of pop, rock,
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Mark:

x + y + z = 10

Jessica:

5x + 2y + 3z = 28

Nate:

3x + 3y + z = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of pop song downloaded by Mike

y = number of rock song downloaded by Mike

z = number of hip song downloaded by Mike

Mark downloaded 10 songs in total consisting of pop, rock, and hip hop

Mark:

x + y + z = 10

Jessica downloaded five times as many pop songs, twice as many rock schgs, and three times as many hip hop songs as Mark. She downloaded 28 songs total.

Jessica:

5x + 2y + 3z = 28

Nate downloaded 20 songs total with three times as many pop songs, three times as many rock songs, and the same number of hip hop songs as Mark.

Nate:

3x + 3y + z = 20

The following system of equations represents their music choices

Mark:

x + y + z = 10

Jessica:

5x + 2y + 3z = 28

Nate:

3x + 3y + z = 20

What is the focus of the parabola? y=−1/4x^2−x+3
Delvig [45]
We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c

in this problem
y=−1/4x²<span>−x+3
where
a=-1/4
b=-1
c=3

</span><span> the coordinates of the focus are
</span>
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where
D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(-1/4)*3-----> D=1+3---> D=4
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> -2

y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1-4)/(-4/4)---> 3

the coordinates of the focus are
(-2,3)
