I am assuming this is a triangle.....P = a + b + c
P = 2a - 3 + 2a + 3a + 1....combine like terms
P = 7a - 2 <==
First solve the quadratic as you would an equation, so you will get two real zeroes p and q so that (x-p)(x-q)=0 is another way of expressing the quadratic. All quadratics can be represented graphically by a parabola, which could be inverted. When the x² coefficient is negative it’s inverted. If the coefficient of x² isn’t 1 or -1 divide the whole quadratic by the coefficient so that it takes the form x²+ax+b, where a and b are real fractions. The curve between the zeroes will be totally below the x axis for an upright parabola, and totally above for an inverted parabola. This fact is used for inequalities. An inequality will be <, ≤, > or ≥. This makes it easy to solve the inequality. If the position of the curve between the zeroes is below the axis then outside this interval it will be above, and vice versa. So we’ve defined three zones. x
q, and p
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Look what happens if you do the multiplication of P(x):
P(x) = x^3 - 9x
This is a variation of the basic cubing function y = x^3.
The graph begins in QIII and ends in QI; in other words, if you go left the graph drops; if you go right, the graph rises (without limit, in both cases).
Answer:
Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent distance between Mai's house and mountains and r represent Mai's rate while going to mountains.
We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip to mountains took 8 hours.


We are also told that when Mai drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. Her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home.

Upon equating equation (1) and equation (2), we will get:






Upon substituting
in equation (1), we will get:

Therefore, Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains.
