Answer:

f(x) = 3x² - 15x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) has roots x = a and x = b, then

(x - a) and (x - b) are the factors

f(x) is then the product of the factors

f(x) = a(x - a)(x - b) ← where a is a multiplier

Given roots are x = 4 and x = 1, then

(x - 4) and (x - 1) are the factors

With a = 3, then

f(x) = 3(x - 4)(x - 1) ← expand factors using FOIL

     = 3(x² - 5x + 4) ← distribute

     = 3x² - 15x + 12

Al bought 24 stickers. He gave away 11 stickers. Then he bought 8 more stickers.
Yakvenalex [24]
24-11+8

He BOUGHT 24 stickers, so you'd write 24. Then because he GAVE AWAY 11 stickers, you would subtract 11 from 24, which is 24-11. Then because Al BOUGHT 8 stickers you'd add the 8 to the 24-11 to get 24-11+8.


(Bought means to add and Gave away is subtracting)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept equation of a line is written in the form

y= mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since y =4x+5 is written is this form, we can see that 4 is the slope and 5 is the y intercept
