X^2-5x=-4 . I need to find the zeroes

1 answer:

4 0

The zeros of a quadratic equation are equal to the x-intercepts of its graph. In other words, you must find the x-value that causes the expression to equal zero. Start by adding 4 to both sides of the equation:

X² - 5x + 4 = 0

Factor the equation:

(x - 1)(x - 4) = 0

Now calculate each piece separately, starting with the first one:

x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

x = 1

We have proven that x = 1. Now calculate the second piece:

x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

x = 4

We have proven that x = 4. Consequently, we have proven that (x = 1) and (x = 4) are the two zeros of this quadratic equation.

I hope this helps!

Shelly is trying to improve her running time for a track race she ran the first race in 43.13 seconds her time was 43.1 seconds

lesantik [10]

I we consider her running times as an arithmetic series with common difference:
43.13 - 43.1 = -.03/2 = -.015, Shelly's time in the fourth race will be 43.1 - .015 = 43.085.

Given: circle k(O), m LM = 164° m WK = 68°, m∠MLK = 65° Find: m∠LMW

Semenov [28]

Let P be a point outside the circle such that triangle LMP has legs coincident with chords MW and LK (i.e. M, W, and P are colinear, and L, K, and P are colinear). By the intersecting secants theorem,

$m\angle LPM=\dfrac{m\widehat{LM}-m\widehat{WK}}2\impliesm\angle LPM=48^\circ$
