The solutions for the given quadratic equation are x = -1 and x = 3. So, option B is correct.

<h3>What are the solutions to an equation?</h3>
  • The solutions to an equation are the one that satisfies the equation and makes it true.
  • There are different methods to solve an equation and find its solutions.
  • These solutions are also called zeros or roots of the equation.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given equation is 4x² - 8x - 12 = 0

Since it is a quadratic equation, it has 2 roots or solutions.

On factorizing the given equation,

4x² - 8x - 12 = 0

⇒ 4x² - 12x + 4x -12 = 0

⇒ 4x(x - 3) + 4(x - 3) = 0

⇒ (4x + 4)(x - 3) = 0

According to the zero-product rule,

4x + 4 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

So, x = -4/4 = -1 or x = 3

Therefore, the solutions of the given equation are -1 and 3.

So, option B) x = -1 and x = 3 is correct.

How do you solve 0.75(8+e)=2−1.25e ?
mash [69]
Distribute first.
.75 times 8 + .75 times e, which is 6+.75e = 2-1.25e
Then subtract 2 from both sides,
4+.75n=-1.25e
Next subtract .75 from both sides,
4=-2e
Divide both sides by -2, and you will get e= -2. Hope this helps!

On the number line above, points J, K, L, and M are integers, and JK:KL:KM = 2:1:3. What is the value of KM? number line shown b
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

<h2>F. 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between A and M i.e JM = M - J = 5-(-19)

JM = 5+19

JM = 24

If JK:KL:KM = 2:1:3

The total ratio = 2+1+3

Total ratio = 6

Dividing each length based on ratio

length JK = 2/6 * JM

JK = 1/3 * 24

JK = 8

length KL = 1/6 * JM

KL = 1/6 * 24

KL = 4

length KM = 3/6 * JM

KM = 1/2 * 24

KM = 12

<em>Hence the value of KM is 12</em>

Find the reference angle given: t= -5π/3.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The reference angle is \frac{\pi}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angle is t=-\frac{5\pi}{3}

The reference angle is the acute angle, that a given angle  makes with the x-axis.

First let us make a sketch of the given angle. <em>See diagram in attachment.</em>

Let \theta be the reference angle of  t=-\frac{5\pi}{3}


Then, from the diagram, we need to subtract \theta from -\frac{5\pi}{3} to get to -2\pi.


We can therefore write the following equation and solve for \theta.


\Rightarrow -\frac{5\pi}{3}-\theta=-2\pi


We group like terms to get,

\Rightarrow -\theta=-2\pi +\frac{5\pi}{3}

We collect LCM to get,

\Rightarrow -\theta=\frac{-6\pi+5\pi}{3}

We simplify to get,

\Rightarrow -\theta=-\frac{\pi}{3}

We divide through by -1

\theta=\frac{\pi}{3} to get,

The correct answer is D.

Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (07.04 LC) Factor completely 49x2 − 9. (7x + 3)(7x − 3) (7x + 3)(x − 3) (7x − 3)(7x −
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We take a look at this expression: 49x^2-9 and notice that both terms are square numbers. 49x^2=(7x)^2 and 9=3^2.

There is a specific formula that I highly recommend you memorize involving differences of squares. It states that given the difference of squares a^2-b^2, it can always be factored into (a+b)(a-b).

Here, we can apply that. In this case, a = 7x and b = 3. So:

49x^2-9=(7x)^2-3^2=(7x+3)(7x-3)

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!
