Hey guys I really need help. You don't have to give the answer I just really need an explanation as to how to find the roots wit

h work, thank you so much.
Find the roots of f(n)=n^2-2n-15.
Tip: The ^2 means "to the power of" so n^2 is n to the power of 2.
Please help!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. by making factors

consider ax²+bx+c=0

if a×c or ac>0 , then break b=d+e such that de=ac

if ac<0,then write b=d-e (e.g.,5-2=3)

such that de=ac

here n²-2n-15

1×-15=-15

-2=-(5-3)

5×-3=-15

n²-2n-15=n²-(5-3)n-15

=n²-5n+3n-15

=n(n-5)+3(n-5)

=(n-5)(n+3)

roots are n-5=0,n=5 and n+3=0,n=-3

2. by using formula

ax²+bx+c=0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\n^2-2n-15=0\\n=\frac{2 \pm\sqrt{(-2)^2-4*1*-15} }{2*1} \\=?

24)
The number 1/10 can be expressed as a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom.
1/10=0.1
0.8>0.1
0.8>1/10

26)
The number 3/5 can also be expressed as a decimal, using the method I described for 24.
3/5=0.6
0.6>0.35
3/5>0.35

28)
The number 2/5 can also be expressed as a decimal.
2/5=0.4
0.4>0.3
2/5>0.3

30)
The number 1/6 cannot be expressed as a decimal. So, express 0.2 as a fraction.
0.2=2/10=1/5
1/5=6/30
1/6=5/30
6/30>5/30
0.2>1/6

Hope this helps!

L is the midpoint of line segment KM. If KL = 2x - 3 and LM = x + 7. find the value of x.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since L is the midpoint

KL = LM

2x-3 = x+7

Subtract x from each side

2x-3-x = x+7-x

x-3 = 7

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 7+3

x = 10

Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each
Paul [167]

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

  • Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
  • Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
  • And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

\displaystyle 3x+4y=12

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3<em>x</em> from both sides:

4y=-3x+12

And divide both sides by four:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

-6x-8y=24

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6<em>x</em> to both sides:

-8y=6x+24

And divide both sides by negative eight:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (−4, −1) and (5, 7) ?
Sergio039 [100]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{7-(-1)}{5-(-4)}=\dfrac{7+1}{5+4}=\dfrac{8}{9}\\\\\boxed{y-7=\dfrac{8}{9}(x-5)}
