Find the solutions to the equation.

1 answer:

3 0

You can write the equation using conventional symbols as
3x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0

You can recognize that the middle coefficient is equal to the sum of the other two, so those two coefficients can be used to factor the equation.
(1/3)(3x +3)(3x -5) = 0 . . . . . put the coefficients in the form (1/a)(ax + ...)(ax + ...) (x+1)(3x-5) = 0 . . . . . simplify

The solutions are the values of x that make one or the other of the factors equal to zero.
x = -1
x = 5/3

Is 56 a multiple of 6?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Good evening ,

_______

Answer:

____________________

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is a multiple of 6 if it can be divided by 6 .

Since 3 don’t divide 56 because 5 + 6=11 and 3 don’t divided 11 ,

Then 6 don’t divide 56

then , 56 isn’t a multiple of 6.

Write the fuction for the graph. (1,8) (0,2)

kirill115 [55]

ANSWER
The function if the graph is,

$y = 6x + 2$

EXPLANATION

We want to write the function for the graph that, goes through (1,8) and (0,2).

Let the function be of the form

$y = mx + c$

Where m is the slope and

$c = 2$

is the y-intercept.

The slope is

$m = \frac{2 - 8}{0 - 1} = - \frac{ - 6}{ - 1} = 6$

The equation becomes,

$y = 6x + 2$
