Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

(x-8)(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

using quadratic formula we have

x=  \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c}}{2*a}

we have:

x^2-x-56=0

a= 1 b=-1 c=-56

so we have:

x=(-(-1)+-sqrt(1^1-4*(1)*(-56)))/(2*1)

x=1+-sqrt(1-4*(-56))/(2)

x=(1+-sqrt(225))/2

x=(1+-15)/2

so we have the roots:

x1=(1+15)/2 =8

x2=(1-15)/2=-7

so the answer is (x-8)(x+7)

x^2-x-56

Think of two numbers that will equal to -x and -56.

Use the 7 and 8 times table.

(x-8)(x+7)

Because - negative number * + positive number= - negative number

(x-8)(x+7)= 0

x-8= 0

Move -8 to the other side. Sign changes from -8 to +8.

x-8+8= 0+8

x= 8

x+7= 0

Move +7 to the other side. Sign changes from +7 to -7.

x+7-7= 0-7

x= -7

Answers:

x= 8 , x= -7

Given the definitions of f (x) and g(x) below, find the value of (g • f)(9).
Stells [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (g·f)(9) = 496

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this is to find the values of g(9) and f(9).

  g(9) = (3x -1)x +14 = (3(9) -1)(9) +14 = 26(9) +14 = 248

  f(9) = -(9) +11 = 2

Then ...

  (g·f)(9) = g(9)·f(9) = 248·2

  (g·f)(9) = 496

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-6,1) and (2,5)?
kow [346]
Slope is simply rise/run.
or
(vertical shift)/(horizontal shift)
therefore, the x value went from -6 to 2 which means it vertically shifted by 8.
and the y value went from 1 to 5, which means it horizontally shifted by 4.
the slope is 8/4.
or 2.
