Find the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 6. A) y = 6 because the graph crosses the y-axis at 6. B) y = -0.25 because that

is the minimum value of the graph. C) x = 2 and x= 3 because the graph crosses the x-axis at 2 and 3. D) x = -3 and x = -2 because the graph crosses the x-axis at -3 and -2.

Answer:

D.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero's are referencing when y=0, note that when y=0 they are talking about the x-intercepts.  You can graph the function and see when the graph crosses the x-axis or solve for the x-values.  I will solve it via factoring and so:

f(x)=x^2+5x+6

Multiply the outer coefficients, in this case 1 and 6, and 1×6=6.  Now let's think about all the factors of 6 we have: 6×1 and 2×3.  Now is there a way that if we use any of these factors and add/subtract them they will return the middle term 5?  Actually we can say 6-1=5 and 2+3=5.  Let's try both.

First let's use 6 and -1 and so:

x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+6x-x+6\\\\x(x+6)-1(x-6)

Notice how we have (x+6) and (x-6), these factors do not match so this is incorrect.

Now let's try 2 and 3 and so:

x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+3x+2x+6\\\\x(x+3)+2(x+3)\\\\(x+2)(x+3)

Notice how the factors (x+3) matched up so this is a factor and so is (x+2), now to solve for the zero's let's make f(x)=0 and solve each factor separately:

Case 1:

f(x)=x+2\\\\0=x+2\\\\x=-2

Case 2:

f(x)=x+3\\\\0=x+3\\\\x=-3

So your zero's are when x=-2 and x=-3.

D.) x=-3 and x=-2 because the graph crosses the x-axis at -3 and -2.

Last week Martha sold brownies. And cookies at a back sale she sold 60 bowlines and 42 cookies on Saturday and 28 brownies and 5
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Martha earns $65.6 over the weekend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brownies sold by Martha on Saturday = 60

Cookies  sold by Martha on Saturday = 42

Brownies sold by Martha on Sunday = 28

Cookies  sold by Martha on Sunday = 54

Total brownies sold by Martha over the weekend = 60+28=88

Total cookies sold by Martha over the weekend = 42+54=96

Cost of a brownie = $0.20

Cost of a cookie = $0.50

Total cost of brownies sold over the weekend = 88\times \$0.20 = \$17.6

Total cost of cookies sold over the weekend = 96\times \$0.50 = \$48

∴ Total money Martha earned over the weekend = \$17.6+\$48=\$65.6 (Answer)

The value of y varies directly with x. If x =3, then y=21. What is the value of x when y=105?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies directly with x

mathematically we can express this as

y = k x , where k is a constant

step 1: find k

given x = 3 and y = 21

y = k x

21 = k (3)

k = 7

hence the equation becomes

y = 7 x

when y = 105,

105 = 7x

x = 105 / 7 = 15

Write an equation of a line through the given points (5,0);(7,6)
KATRIN_1 [288]
Y - y1 = m( x - x1); where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1);
We have m =  (6-0)/(7-5) = 6 / 2 = 3 ;
The equation of the line is: y - 0 = 3(x-5);
Finally: y = 3x - 15.

Presbycusis is the gradual hearing loss that occurs as a person ages. An estimated one-quarter of Americans between the ages of
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The answer is the "Null hypothesis and Alternative hypothesis".

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is almost like a hypothesis test, which indicates the certain demographic characteristics which aren't varied.

The alternative presumption will be that the hypothesis besides making predictions is opposite to the void assumption. Its posts are generally taken as a result of a meaningful effect.

Difference:

The null hypothesis is indeed a gross generalization, which specifies there is no relation between different phenomenons under evaluation. There is no association between the two groups. An alternate solution hypothesis is a statement, that defines there is a relation between different chosen variables in this study.
