Step-by-step explanation:
x-intercepts are SOLUTIONS to a quadratic whereas when you put those solutions into factor form (in a set of parenthesis), you have the FACTORS of the quadratic. They are the same thing generally, they are just written in different forms. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is x = 3, it has been understood that x = 3 when y = 0. Therefore, if x - 3 = y and y = 0, then x - 3 = 0. Solving that for x, you get x = 3. That factor of x = 3 is (x - 3).
Following that logic, for a:
If the x intercepts are x = 0 and x = 3, it is understood that x + 0 = 0 so x = 0 and the factor is (x + 0) (it could also be x - 0 since adding 0 is the same as subtracting 0); if x = 3 it is understood that x - 3 = 0 and the factor is (x - 3).
For b:
If the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 1, then originally the factors were (x + 1) and (x - 1). Again, set each of those equal to 0 and solve for x (THE X-INTERCEPT EXISTS WHERE Y = 0!)
For c:
If the x-intercepts are x = -5 and x = 10, then originally the factors were (x + 5) and (x - 10).
For d:
If the x-intercept is a fraction, do the same thing:
x = 1/2 so
x - 1/2 = 0 Now multiply both the x and the 1/2 by a 2 to get the factor (2x - 1) and the other factor from x = 4 is (x - 4)
Answer:
?
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, assuming that the "ground level" is 0;
The lift is not starting from 0, so we also need to account for the extra 15 meters above the ground the lift is.
The total distance the lift would cover in the downward direction: 15+350=365m
Now, you know that the lift covers 5 m/min
Therefore, 5x=365 (ignoring units because they can complicate things)
x=365/5
x=73 minutes
Therefore, they would take 73 minutes to reach 350 m deep into the ground with a starting position 15 m above the ground.
Hope I helped :)
