Quadratic formula where:
ax ^{2}  + bx + c
\frac{ - b + { \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }}{2a}
\frac{ - b -  \sqrt{b { }^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}
do both do get the roots of the equation

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

A short answer is that you cannot factor this the way you are trying to do it. What to do to go on is a question. You could use the quadratic formula to get some sort of answer but if factoring is your only option, forget about it.

Here's how you can check.

  • a = 12
  • b = 1
  • c = -15

There is a part of the quadratic solution is the sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c). In order to be factorable, this sqrt must result in a perfect square.

sqrt(1 - 4(12)(-15) ) = sqrt( 1 - - 720) = sqrt(721)

This is anything but a perfect square. (721 does factor, however, into 7 * 103). I03 is prime. So the long and short of it is, there's no way it will factor.

Write an equation for the vertical line that contains point E(-12, 7). Is anybody able to help?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical lines take the form of x = something and horizontal lines take the form of y = something

Why is this? Notice that whenever you make a horizontal line on a graph and select virtually any point that's on that line, all of the points you pick will have the same y value. Try to imagine the same thing with a vertical line, are the results the same?

So the line x = -12 (we got -12 from the coordinate that was given to us on the question prompt) is a vertical line that passes through virtually all possible y values (from positive infinity to negative infinity, or vice-versa) which means that the question prompt having given us the y value was negligible.

Good luck!
