If f(x) = x2 – 3x – 40 intersects the x-axis at points A and B, what is the sum of A and B?

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersections on the x axis occur when y = 0. f(x) is another term for y, so set f(x) equal to zero and solve for the two possible x's.

0 = x^2 - 3x - 40

0 = (x-8)(x+5)

By solving for x, you get 8 and -5. 8 and -5 added together will equal 3.

What is the volume of a sphere with a surface area of ​ 16π ​ft²?
zheka24 [161]
Sphere Surface Area     =    <span> 4 • <span>π <span>• r²
For it to equal 16 PI, then radius must equal 2
4*PI*2*2 = 16 PI

</span></span></span>
Sphere Volume   = <span>  4/3 • <span>π <span>• r³
</span></span></span>
Sphere Volume   = <span>  4/3 • <span>π <span>• 2^3
</span></span></span>
Sphere Volume   = <span> 4/3 *PI * 8
</span>
Sphere Volume   = <span> 32 / 3 PI

</span>
Sphere Volume   = <span> 10.666 PI cubic feet AND I think that is answer B
which SHOULD read 10 (2/3) PI ft^3
</span>
