Answer:
Nothing new about leading coefficient. Definition says it can't be zero. It can always be made equal to one by dividing through.
Constant term cannot be zero unless a root is zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3/4 = 0 has root 3/4 constant term -3/4
(x-3/4)(x-b) = 0 has roots 3/4 and b, constant term 3b/4 which is zero only if b is zero.
(x-3/4)(x-b)(x-c) = 0 has roots 3/4, b, c, constant term -3bc/4 which is zero only if b or c is zero.
Etc. ...
Answer:
2) C
3) 62 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
72+46=118
180-118
Hope this helps
The first 3 are examples of the difference of 2 squares so you use the identity
a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
x^2 - 49 = 0
so (x + 7)(x - 7) = 0
so either x + 7 = 0 or x - 7 = 0
giving x = -7 and 7.
Number 7 reduces to 3x^2 =12, x^2 = 4 so x = +/- 2
Number 8 take out GCf (d) to give
d(d - 2) = 0 so d = 0 , 2
9 and 10 are more difficult to factor
you use the 'ac' method Google it to get more details
2x^2 - 5x + 2
multiply first coefficient by the constant at the end
that is 2 * 2 = 4
Now we want 2 numbers which when multiplied give + 4 and when added give - 5:- -1 and -4 seem promising so we write the equation as:-
2x^2 - 4x - x + 2 = 0
now factor by grouping
2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2) is common so
(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
and 2x - 1 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 and now you can find x.
The last example is solved in the same way.
It’s going to be -2 because the y intercept is when x=0.
Answer:
x=36
Step-by-step explanation:
First rewrite equation then multiply each side by 36. 9x-36=4x+144.
then move the variable 9x-4x+36=144. Next subtract 9x and 4x ...5x=144+36.... 5x=180. Lastly you divide 180÷5 this your answer x=36
