Find all real solutions: x² - x - 12 = 0

1 answer:

8 0

Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.

x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0

Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4

x+3=0
x=-3

Final answer: x=-3, x=4

Q5: Identify the graph of the equation and write an equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$d.\:ellipse;\:3x^2+y^2+6x-6y+3=0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given conic has equation;

$3x^2+y^2=9$

Divide through by 9.

$\Rightarrow \frac{3x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{9}=\frac{9}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{3}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$ .

This is an ellipse centered at the origin;

This ellipse has been translated so that the center is now at;

$(-1,3)$

The translated ellipse has equation;

$\frac{(x+1)^2}{3}+\frac{(y-3)^2}{9}=1$ .

Clear the fraction;

$3(x+1)^2+(y-3)^2=9$ .

Expand;

$3(x^2+2x+1)+(y^2-6y+9)=9$ .

$3x^2+6x+3+y^2-6y+9=9$ .

Write in general form;

$3x^2+y^2+6x-6y+9-9+3=0$ .

$3x^2+y^2+6x-6y+3=0$ .

The correct choice is D

You roll five number cubes and the numbers rolled are 1,2, 3, 4, and 5. Are the events independent? Explain.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: B

Explanation

When rolling a dice, no matter how many times you get an outcome, it can never determine the exact outcome of the next roll, hence it is termed an independent event.

Hope this helps :)
