(x+4)(x-3)=30

x^2 +x -12 =30

x^2 +x =42

x^2 +x -42 =0

(i solved it by factorising: _x^2 × -42)

x^2 -6x +7x -42 =0

x(x-6) +7(x-6) 0

(x-6)(x+7)=0

x=6; x=-7

since it's a length, x can't be a negative number, so it must be 6

Which equation matches the graph below?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:Given that the graph shows tha the functión at x = 0 is below the y-axis, the constant term of the function has to be negative. This leaves us two possibilities:

y = 8x^2 + 2x - 5 and y = 2x^2 + 8x - 5

To try to discard one of them, let us use the vertex, which is at x = -2.

With y = 8x^2 + 2x - 5, you get y = 8(-2)^2 + 2(-2) - 5 = 32 - 4 - 5 = 23 , which is not the y-coordinate of the vertex of the curve of the graph.

Test the other equation, y = 2x^2 + 8x - 5 = 2(-2)^2 + 8(-2) - 5 = 8 - 16 - 5 = -13, which is exactly the y-coordinate of the function graphed.

What would 897,100 be if rounded to the nearest ten thousand?
Finger [1]
90,000

the reason is because look at the 1,000 place that rounds the 10,000 place to 0 and carries the 1 over to the 100,000 place
