- Zero Product Property: if a × b = 0, then either a or b = 0 or both a and b = 0.
(Make sure to set f(x) to zero)
So for this equation, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -5x^2 and a sum of 4x? That would be 5x and -x. Replace 4x with 5x - x: 
Next, factor 5x^2 + 5x and -x - 1 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as: 
Now apply zero product property to the factors to solve for x:
<u>The x-intercepts are (1/5 ,0) and (-1,0).</u>
Answer:
Hey there!
Think of 45000 being split to 9 pieces.
Each piece would be 5000 dollars.
Thus, the ratio would be 20000 to 25000
Hope this helps :)
49.5 / 71.5 = x / 97.5
x = 49.5 * 97.5 / 71.5
x = 67.5
answer
x = 67.5 ft
Answer:
the first one is -9/40. the second one is 109/20. the third one is -8/35.
Step-by-step explanation:
here is the work for the first one 3/8-.6 and convert into a simplified fraction and came up with -9/40. here is the work for the second one 4 4/3+0.7 and then convert into a simplified fraction and came up with 109/20. here is the work for the third one 4/7-0.8 and then convert into a simplified fraction and came up with -8/35.
Answer:
The width of the similar rug is 3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the percentage between the lengths:
3/9 = 1/3 (percentage)
The percentage is fixed for the widths as well which means 1/x = 1/3
x=3
