<span>The number of x-intercepts that appear on the graph of the function
</span>f(x)=(x-6)^2(x+2)^2 is two (2): x=6 (multiplicity 2) and x=-2 (multiplicity 2)

Solution
x-intercepts:
f(x)=0→(x-6)^2 (x+2)^2 =0

Using that: If a . b =0→a=0 or b=0; with a=(x-6)^2 and b=(x+2)^2

(x-6)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x-6)^2] = sqrt(0)→x-6=0
Adding 6 both sides of the equation:
x-6+6=0+6→x=6 Multiplicity 2

(x+2)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x+2)^2] = sqrt(0)→x+2=0
Subtracting 2 both sides of the equation:
x+2-2=0-2→x=-2 Multiplicity 2

The ratios of the angles in ABC is 3:5:7. Find the<br> measure of the angles

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of triangle = 3:5:7

Total ratio = 3+5+7 = 15

The sum of angle in a triangle is 180°

1st angle= 3/15× 180 = 3 × 12 = 36°

2nd angle= 5/15 × 180 = 5 × 12 = 60°

3rd angle= 7/15 × 180 = 7 × 12 = 84°

The total number of pears and oranges in a basket is between 30 and 40 . There are 25% more apple than orange how many apples ar

Verdich [7]

The number of apples there are in the basket as described in the task content is; 20 apples.

<h3>What is the number of apples there are in the basket?</h3>

Inference drawn from the task content show that;

The ratio of apples to oranges in the basket is; 5:4. making the total partitions be 9.

On this note, we must identify a number divisible by 9 between 30 and 40.

The number is 36 and once divided by 9 is 4 units per partition.

On this note, the total number of apples in the basket is; 4 × 5 = 20 apples.

1. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 6. What is the length of the shortest

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

b. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the short side is ½ the hypotenuse [the long side is double the short side].

30°-60°-90° Triangles

x√3 → long side

x → short side

2x → hypotenuse

45°-45°-90° Triangles

x → two legs

x√2 → hypotenuse

What is the measure of an angle if the measures of its two adjacent supplementary angles add up to 100°?

Sindrei [870]

<h3>Answer: 130</h3>

Explanation:

Let x be the unknown angle we want to find.

Let y be adjacent and supplementary to x. This means x+y = 180

Let z also be adjacent and supplementary to x. So x+z = 180 also

Subtracting the two equations leads to y-z = 0 and y = z. So effectively we've proven the vertical angle theorem.

Since the supplementary angles to x add to 100, we know that y+z = 100. Plug in y = z and solve for z

y+z = 100

z+z = 100

2z = 100

z = 100/2

z = 50

Therefore,

x+z = 180

x+50 = 180

x = 180-50

x = 130

A quadrilateral has vertices at A(-5,5), B(1,8), C(4,2), and D(-2,-2). Use slope to determine if the quadrilateral is a rectangl

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The quadrilateral is not a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle

then

Opposite sides are congruent and parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

A(-5,5), B(1,8), C(4,2), and D(-2,-2)

Plot the figure to better understand the problem

see the attached figure

Find the slope of the four sides and then compare

step 1

Find slope AB

A(-5,5), B(1,8)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{8-5}{1+5}$

$m=\frac{3}{6}$

$m_A_B=\frac{1}{2}$

step 2

Find slope BC

B(1,8), C(4,2)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{2-8}{4-1}$

$m=\frac{-6}{3}$

$m_B_C=-2$

step 3

Find slope CD

C(4,2), and D(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-2-2}{-2-4}$

$m=\frac{-4}{-6}$

$m_C_D=\frac{2}{3}$

step 4

Find slope AD

A(-5,5), D(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-2-5}{-2+5}$

$m=\frac{-7}{3}$

$m_A_D=-\frac{7}{3}$

step 5

Verify if the opposites are parallel

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

The opposite sides are

AB and CD

BC and AD

we have

$m_A_B=\frac{1}{2}$

$m_C_D=\frac{2}{3}$

$m_A_B \neq m_C_D$

It is not necessary to continue verifying, because two of the opposite sides are not parallel

therefore

The quadrilateral is not a rectangle
