Answer:
negative number times negative number gives you positive number.
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x-3
=27
Answer:
x= 2
x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solving as normal quadratic equation:</u>
- 2x^2+2x=12
- x^2 +x = 6
- x^2 + x - 6= 0
- x = (-1 ± √(1+4*1*6)/2
- x = ( - 1 ± √25)/2
- x = (-1 ± 5)/2
- x= 2
- x= -3
<u>Roots are</u> 2 and -3
One of the ways to graph this is to use plug in a few x-values and get an idea of the shape. Since the x values keep getting squared, there is an exponential increase on either side of the y-axis. You can see this by plugging in a few values:
When
x=0,f(x)=0
x=1,f(x)=1^2=1
x=2,f(x)=2^2=4
x=3,f(x)=3^2=9
x=4,f(x)=4^2=16
The same holds true for negative x-values to the left of the y-axis since a negative value squared is positive. For example,
x=−1,f(x)=(−1)2=1*−1=1
x=2,f(x)=(−2)2=−2*−2=4
The graph of f(x)=x^2 is called a "Parabola." It looks like this:
Let x be the number of minutes for
his normal walk
On the way to the airport, for the
2/5 (or 40%) of his route, his speed is twice faster. Hence, the number of x
should be divided to 2. The rest of the route (60%) was on his normal pace. The
total minutes is 6. The equation is:
0.4(x÷2) + 0.6x = 6
<span>Solving for x, the number of
minutes for his normal walk is 7.5 minutes.</span>
