Put the terms in order of decreasing degree, all on the left. When convenient, it is nice to have mutually prime integer coefficients with the leading one positive.
a) x² -2x +1 = 0
b) x² +15 = 0
c) 4x² -12 = 0
or, better, divide out the common factor of 4.
x² -3 = 0
d) 3x² -x -5 = 0

Shown is the standard form for a single-variable second-degree equation. Form varies depending on the nature of the equation. Equations of conic sections have different standard forms, depending on the curve.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Get 15% of 870:
First, get 10 percent of 870, which is 87, then half that, which is 43.5
Get the 87 and add the 43.5 on it, to get the full 15%, you end up with $130.5, which is the monthly payment.
(Only problem is that im pretty sure you put an extra 0, because if you just wrote 87 dollar's then you would've got 13.05, the actual answer, but if you add an extra 0 then you end up with 130$, just to let you know.)
Answer:
x = 7 is the answer for the smaller number
7 + 1 = 8 is the answer for the larger number
Step-by-step explanation:
LET x and x+1 be the two numbers here, as your hint suggests.
5x + 3(x+1) = 59
5x + 3x+3 = 59
8x = 59-3
8x = 56
/8 /8
--------------------------
x = 56/8 ---> x = 7
x = 7 is the answer for the smaller number
7 + 1 = 8 is the answer for the larger number
Check:
5 * 7 + 3 * 8 = 59
35 + 24 = 59
59 = 59 CORRECT
When two fractions have the same denominator, you can compare which fraction is greater by just comparing the numerators.
For example, if you have 2/5 and 3/5, the denominators are the same. So you can just look at the numerators. 3 is greater than 5, so 3/5 is greater than 2/5.
The reasoning to this is that the two numbers are divided by the same number (5), so you can compare the original numbers (numerators).
slope intercept form
y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
if we change from point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
we distribute
y-y1 = mx -x*x1
then add y1 to each side
y = mx -x*x1+y1
remember x and y are variables and should stay in the equation
m,x1,y1 are numbers from the problem
you may have to calculate the slope (m) from the formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) from two points on the line
