Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
Factor the left side: (x + 2) · (x - 6) = 0
The equation is true if either factor is zero.
If (x + 2) = 0 then x = -2 .
If (x - 6) = 0 then x = 6 .
1. The additive identity is 0. This is because adding 0 to anything leads to the same value. Example: 0+3 = 3.
2. An equation is where you have two expressions separated by an equal sign. In your case it would be "a mathematical sentence whose verb is 'equal' (=)"
3. The multiplicative identity is 1. Multiply 1 with any number and the result is that same number. Example: 1*7 = 7.
4. An open sentence is an equation that contains one or more variables. An example would be x+2 = 4. The reason why we call it open is because the true or false nature of the sentence is up in the air until we know what x is. If we knew that x = 3 for instance, then x+2 = 4 would be false since 3+2 = 4 is false. If we nailed down what x was then it would go from open to closed.
5. The symmetric property is that if a = b then b = a. Think of a mirror how the image reverses.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)
Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4=
and 11/4=
. Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio <em>3</em> to <em>1</em> from <em>C</em> to <em>D</em>. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is (
).
I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.
Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.
For this case we have that by definition it is fulfilled:

Where:
a: It is the base
b: It is the exponent
So, if we have the following expression:
-6 to the power of 4, is equivalent to: 
So we have to:
-6: It is the base
4: It is the exponent
Answer:
-6: It is the base
4: It is the exponent
