Answer:

x=-3, x=1, x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have to find the zero of an equation like (x+3) all you have to do is solve for x.

x+3=0 equal the equation to zero

x+3-3=0-3 cancel out 3

x=-3 answer

If you have to find the zero of an equation like f(x)=-2x^2 - 5x + 7 then you would have to factor the equation.

7*-2=-14 multiply

-7 & 2 find the two numbers that when multiplied =14 and when added = -5

(2x^2 + 2) (-7x + 7) replace -5 with -7 & 2

-2x (x - 1) -7 (x - 1) factor

(x - 1) (-2x - 7) rewrite

1st: x - 1 = 0

x = 1 : Answer

2nd: -2x - 7= 0

-2x - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7

-2x = 7

-2x / -2 = 7 / -2

x = 7 / -2 : Answer

Answer:

Solution : x = -3, x = 1 , x = 8,

Steps : 1) Set f ( x ) = 0.

2) Set each factor equal to zero and solve to find the x- intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : f(x)=(x+3)(x-1)(x-8).

To find : how to determine the zeros .

Solution : We have given that : f(x)=(x+3)(x-1)(x-8).

Steps for finding zeros

1) Set f ( x ) = 0.

2) Set each factor equal to zero and solve to find the x- intercepts.

Set f(x) = 0

(x+3)(x-1)(x-8) = 0

Now each factor equal to zero

(x+3) = 0

On subtracting by 3 both sides

x = -3

(x-1) = 0

On adding by 1 both side.

x = 1.

(x-8) = 0.

On adding by 8 both side.

x = 8.

Therefore, Solution : x = -3, x = 1 , x = 8,

Steps : 1) Set f ( x ) = 0.

2) Set each factor equal to zero and solve to find the x- intercepts.

X-intercept=2; containing the point (-5,4), using either the general form or the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

Rus_ich [418]

The line contains point (2, 0) and (-5, 4).
y - 0 = (4 - 0)/(-5 - 2) (x - 2)
y = -4/7 (x - 2)
7y = -4(x - 2)
7y = -4x + 8
4x + 7y = 8

Help me please im strugglin

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

propotianal

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise is how many you go up on the y axis x axis is how many you go to the left or right on the x axis if the number is negative you go the the right. the points match up with -4/1 - 1 so it's is proportional please give me brainliest

A group of engineers is building a parabolic satellite dish whose shape will be formed by rotating the curve y=ax 2 about the y-

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a = $\frac{1}{2}$ . Surface Area = $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ . and area of the Dish = $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ +pi $4^{2}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ $ft^{2}$ +50.27=51.6 $ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Constant. y(x) = a $x^{2}$ that is the curve that we need to rotate around the y axis to get the parabola with diameter of 8 feet and 2 meter depth that statement is translated in mathematics as x = -4 to 4 and y = 0 to 2.
