3 0
3(x^2 + 6x + 5) = 0
3(x^2 + 6x + 9 + 5 - 9) = 0
3(x + 3)^2 + 3(-4) = 0
3(x + 3)^2 - 12 = 0
3(x + 3)^2 = 12
(x + 3)^2 = 4
x + 3 = sqrt(4)
x = -3 + or - 2
x = -3 + 2 or -3 - 2
x = -1 or -5
The correct answer option is option c.

How do you find the equation of a line with Guassian elimination given two points?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

  The solution is similar to the 2-point form of the equation for a line:

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·x + (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the two points, write two equations in the unknowns of the equation of the line.

For example, you can use the equation ...

  y = mx + b

Then for the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) you have two equations in m and b:

  b + (x1)m = (y1)

  b + (x2)m = (y2)

The corresponding augmented matrix for this system is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&x1&y1\\1&x2&y2\end{array}\right]

____

The "b" variable can be eliminated by subtracting the first equation from the second. This puts a 0 in row 2 column 1 of the matrix, per <em>Gaussian Elimination</em>.

  0 + (x2 -x1)m = (y2 -y1)

Dividing by the value in row 2 column 2 gives you the value of m:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

This value can be substituted into either equation to find the value of b.

  b = (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . substituting for m in the first equation
