Division property of equality.
The number in parenthesis after f is the x coordinate. Basically, it says which y coordinate is tied with an x value. In choice a, it says that when x is 0 y is 3, etc.
So, you can look at the graph to see which answer choice has a point from the graph. Choice a says (0,3), and that does not match. Choice b says (5,-1) and that does match. So the answer is B.
*(x,y)*
1/4x-8=4
+8. +8
1/4x = 12
/ 1/4. / 1/4
X = No problem. 48
f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 - 4x - 20
The zeros of the polynomial function: x^3 + 5x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0
x^3 + 5x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0
x^2(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = 0
(x^2 - 4)(x + 5) = 0
(x + 2)(x - 2)(x + 5) = 0
(x + 2) = 0; x = -2
(x - 2) = 0; x = 2
(x + 5) = 0; x = -5
Answer is the first one
x = -5, x = -2, x = 2
Assuming that the room is rectangle and carpet is rectangle
area=legnth times width
legnth=longer than width
12 is longer than 8
12ft=legnth
8ft=width
now convert to yards
1 yard=3 feet
1 foot=1/3 yard
12 ft times 1/3=4yards
8 ft times 1/3=8/3yards
multiply
area=4 tiimes 8/3
area=32/3
area=10 and 2/3 square yards
