Thomas creates the table shown to represent the function ƒ(x) = x2 + 3x - 10. determine the zeros of the equation.

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: A

Explanation: The zeroes of f(x) are the value/s of x such that f(x) = 0. So, we need to find the values of x in the equation f(x) = 0.

Note that

f(x) = 0
⇔ x² + 3x - 10 = 0

By factoring into binomials, x² + 3x - 10 = (x + 5)(x - 2). Thus,

x² + 3x - 10 = 0
⇔ (x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
⇔ x = -5 or x = 2

Hence, the zeroes of x are -5 and 2.

If f(x) = x2 − 1, and f(2a) = 35, then what could be the value of a ?

sdas [7]

F(x) = x² - 1

f(2a) = 35

f(2a) = (2a)² - 1 = 35

4a² - 1 = 35

4a² = 35 + 1

4a² = 36

a² = 36/4

a² = 9

a = √9

a = +3 or -3.

Answer:

$0.375$ , Terminating

Step-by-step explanation:

Mackenzie has 32 books and 12 of which are by her favorite author.

One of the easier ways to convert something to a decimal is to first start as a fraction. We need to have it be the number of books by her favorite author (12) out of the total number of books that she owns (32)

This in the form of a fraction would be $\frac{12}{32}$
