Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 - 2x

g(x) = 6x + 4

Add them together

f(x) = x^2 - 2x

g(x) =       6x + 4

-----------------------

f(x) + g(x) =x^2 +4x+4

We want to find when this equals 0

0 =x^2 +4x+4

Factor

What two numbers multiply together to give us 4 and add together to give us 4

2*2 =4

2+2=4

0=(x+2) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

x+2 =0    x+2=0

x+2-2=0-2

x=-2

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's plug your functions f(x)=x^2-2x and g(x)=6x+4 into (f+g)(x)=0 and then solve your equation for x.

So (f+g)(x) means f(x)+g(x).

So (f+g)(x)=x^2+4x+4

Now we are solving (f+g)(x)=0 which means we are solve x^2+4x+4=0.

x^2+4x+4 is actually a perfect square and is equal to (x+2)^2.

So our equation is equivalent to solving (x+2)^2=0.

(x+2)^2=0 when x+2=0.

Subtracting 2 on both sides gives us x=-2.

Solve the following linear equation and please explain how you did it 6y+8=6(y+4)−16
Tasya [4]

Answer:

infinite solutions, true for all y

Step-by-step explanation:

6y+8=6(y+4)−16

Distribute

6y+8 = 6y+ 24 - 16

Combine like terms

6y+8 = 6y+8

Subtract 6y from each side

8=8

Since this is always true, the equation is true for all real y

A quadrilateral has vertices A, B, C, and D. A line of reflection is drawn so that A is 6 units away from the line, B is 4 units
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct option is O B'

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a quadrilateral with vertices A, B, C and D. A line of reflection is drawn so that A is 6 units away from the line, B is 4 units away from the line, C is 7 units away from the line and D is 9 units away from the line.

Now we perform the reflection and we obtain a new quadrilateral A'B'C'D'.

In order to apply the reflection to the original quadrilateral ABCD, we perform the reflection to all of its points, particularly to its vertices.

Wherever we have a point X and a line of reflection L and we perform the reflection, the new point X' will keep its original distance from the line of reflection (this is an important concept in order to understand the exercise).

I will attach a drawing with an example.

Finally, we only have to look at the vertices and its original distances to answer the question.

The vertice that is closest to the line of reflection is B (the distance is 4 units). We answer O B'
