First step is to factor. With a polynomial function in the form ax² + bx + c = f(x), we have to find what factors of term C have a sum of term B.
So with this, we need factors of -90 add up to become -1. Your factors are - 10 and 9.
f(x) = x² + 9x - 10x - 90
Now we group together and pull out GCFs.
f(x) = (x² + 9x) + (10x - 90)
f(x) = x(x² + 9) - 10(x + 9)
f(x) = (x - 10)(x + 9)
Now, set each factor equal to zero.
x - 10 = 0, x + 9 = 0
For the first equation you are going to add 10 to both sides to get x by itself. Subtract 9 from both sides in the second equation for the same reason.
x = 10, x = -9
Your zeros are at x = -9, 10 or at the ordered pairs (-9, 0) and (10, 0).
The value of s would be -2
So -2=s
Answer:
The answer is 3.6 acres per day
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unit rate divide the number of acres by number of days
∴ Unit rate = 
÷ 
= (6 × 4 + 3)/4 ÷ (1 × 8 + 7)/8 = 27/4 ÷ 15/8
= 27/4 × 8/15 = 18/5 = 3.6 acres per day
