Considering the definition of zeros of a function, the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = x² + 4x +9 do not exist.

<h3>Zeros of a function</h3>

The points where a polynomial function crosses the axis of the independent term (x) represent the so-called zeros of the function.

In summary, the roots or zeros of the quadratic function are those values ​​of x for which the expression is equal to 0. Graphically, the roots correspond to the abscissa of the points where the parabola intersects the x-axis.

In a quadratic function that has the form:

f(x)= ax² + bx + c

the zeros or roots are calculated by:

x1,x2=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

<h3>This case</h3>

The quadratic function is f(x) = x² + 4x +9

Being:

  • a= 1
  • b= 4
  • c= 9

the zeros or roots are calculated as:

x1=\frac{-4+\sqrt{4^{2}-4x1x9 } }{2x1}

x1=\frac{-4+\sqrt{16-36 } }{2x1}

x1=\frac{-4+\sqrt{-20 } }{2x1}

and

x2=\frac{-4-\sqrt{4^{2}-4x1x9 } }{2x1}

x2=\frac{-4-\sqrt{16-36 } }{2x1}

x2=\frac{-4-\sqrt{-20} }{2x1}

If the content of the root is negative, the root will have no solution within the set of real numbers. Then \sqrt{-20} has no solution.

Finally, the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = x² + 4x +9 do not exist.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -8)((−15,−16)? Write your answer in simplest form.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Therefore the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -8),(−15,−16) is

Slope=\dfrac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let,

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -9 ,-8)

point B( x₂ , y₂ )≡ (-15 ,-16)

To Find:  

Slope = ?

Solution:

Slope of Line Segment AB is given as

Slope(AB)=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }

Substituting the values we get

Slope(AB)=\dfrac{-16-(-8)}{-15-(-9)}\\\\Slope(AB)=\dfrac{-16+8}{-15+9}\\\\Slope(AB)=\dfrac{-8}{-6}=\dfrac{4}{3}

Therefore the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -8),(−15,−16) is

Slope(AB)=\dfrac{4}{3}

Find the A) slope B) Point Slope equation and C) Slope Intercept form of the line through points (9,18),(-4,14)
Lana71 [14]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

A) Use the slope formula to find the slope  m.


m=4/13


B)  Use the point-slope formula,  y−y1=m(x−x1)  to find the equation of the line.


y=4/13x+198/13


C) Write in slope-intercept form,  y=mx+b.


y=4/13x+198/13
