Answer:

B. (-4,0) and (-3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a graphing tool to graph the equation. The parabola intercepts at (-4,0) and (-3,0). Therefore, (-4,0) and (-3,0) are the x-intercepts of the equation.

Option B should be the correct answer.

Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ.

vichka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that T is the midpoint of line PQ, segments PT = 5x + 2, and TQ = 7x - 6 that are formed would be equidistant or congruent. PT = TQ.

Therefore:

$5x + 2 = 7x - 6$

Let's find the value of x

Rearrange the equation, so that the terms having x would be on your left, while those without x would be on your right.

$5x - 7x = - 2 - 6$

$-2x = -8$

Divide both sides by -2

$x = 4$

Plug in the value of x into the expression, 5x + 2, to find PT.

PT = 5(4) + 2 = 22.

Sydney bought 5.65 lbs of roast beef, which was on sale for $4.50 per pound. if she divides the roast beef evenly among 6.5, how

Sever21 [200]

Okay. So, she buoyant 5.65 lbs of roast beef for $4.50. Multiply both of those numbers to get 25.425 or 25.43 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. So the total cost was $25.43. However, we now have to divide the amount by 6.5. 25.43/6.5 is 3.912 and other odd numbers or 3.91 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The cost per sandwich was $3.91.

Question 2 (1 point) (11.01 MC) Nina has a piece of fabric measuring 5 yards. How many 1-inch strips can be cut from the fabric?

maw [93]

Answer:

180 strips

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

1 yard = 36 inches

5 yards = x

Cross Multiply

x = 5 × 36 inches

x = 180 inches

Hence:

1 piece of fabric = 180 inches

How many 1-inch strips can be cut from the fabric?

180 inches = 1 piece of fabric

1 inch = x

x = 180 strips

considering the leading term of the polynomial function. what is the end behavior of the graph? describe the end behavior and pr

mario62 [17]

The leading term of polynomial function is the the term contain highest degree so here in the given question leading term is $-3x^5$

and leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with greatest exponent -3

RULES for End behaviour

we have following four cases

CASE1: Even degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE2: Even degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

CASE3: Odd degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE4: Odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

Here in the given case we have odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$
