We can solve this problem using discriminant.
x^2-4x-12's discriminant is
(-4)^2-4*-12=16+48 which is clearly larger than 0
This means that it crosses over the axes 2 times.
In case you don't know what discriminant is, its in equation ax^2+bx+c
the discriminant is b^2-4ac.
If its positive it has 2 crosses with x axis, if negative then 0 crosses, if 0 then 1 cross.
Hope this helped at least a little bit :D
Answer:
That is has root -12 meaning if you replace x with -12 you get 0.
Applying a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor 
has the effect of multiplying both coordinates of a point by :
So, in your case, the coordinates of the points double:
P(blue) is 23/82 the sum is 82 and there is 23 blue balls
Answer:
x = 3
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When 2 triangles are congruent, they will have exact same 3 sides length and exact same 3 angles measure.
So we can say:
-2x + 6y = 6
and
-7x + 8y = -5
Let's multiply first equation by 7 and 2nd equation by -2, to get:
7 [-2x + 6y = 6] = -14x +42y = 42
and
-2 [-7x + 8y = -5] = 14x - 16y = 10
Now adding these 2 new equations and solving for y:
-14x +42y = 42
14x - 16y = 10
----------------------
26y = 52
y = 52/26
y = 2
Now we put y = 2 into 1st equation (or any other) and solve for x:
-2x + 6y = 6
-2x + 6(2) = 6
-2x + 12 = 6
6 = 2x
x = 6/2
x = 3
