Answer:

The zeros of the function are 2 and 10. The points are (2,0) and (10,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the zeros, factor the polynomial function.

$f(x) = x^2-12x+20\\f(x) = (x-2)(x-10)\\$

To solve for x, set each factor equal to 0.

x-2 = 0 so x=2

x-10 = 0 so x=10

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 2 and 10

Discussion:

Approach 1:

20 = (-10)*(-2) and (-10) + (-2) = -12 the coefficients of the polynomial. Hence

x^2 -12x + 20 = ( x- 2) * ( x-10)

Approach 2:

From the quadratic formula ( a = 1, b = -12, c = 20)

x = ( -(-12) +\- sqrt( ((-12)^2 - 4*1*20) ) / (2 * 1)

= ( 12 +\- sqrt( 144-80) ) /2

= (12 +\- sqrt(64) ) /2

= (12 +\- 8 ) /2

x = ( 12 + 8) /2 = 20/2 = 10

x = ( 12 - 8)/ 2 = 4/2 = 2

Thank you,

MrB

There are 2820 cars in Farmington. The ratio of medium size cars to compacts is 7 to 5 and the ratio of compacts to full-size ca

oee [108]

Answer:

Number of full size cars = 900

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of medium size cars to compacts is 7 to 5 and the ratio of compacts to full-size cars is 8 to 9. Since compact cars are there in both ratios , we need to make the number in the ratio for compact cars to be the same.

$\frac{medium}{compact} = \frac{7}{5}$

Multiply by 8 on numerator and denominator

$\frac{medium}{compact} = \frac{56}{40}$

$\frac{compact}{full size} = \frac{8}{9}$

Multiply numerator and denominator by 5.

$\frac{compact}{full size} = \frac{40}{45}$

Ratio of medium, compact and full size are in ratio 56,40,45.

Total number of cars =2820.

(56 + 40 + 45)x = 2820

x = $\frac{2820}{141}$

x = 20

Number of full size cars = $20\times 45$ =900

For which mapped relation is the domain {1,2,3}?

Serga [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For any given function, all first input values (x-values/coordinates) in the relation are considered as the domain values. While the output values (y-values/coordinates) make up the range of the given function.

The mapped relation that has a domain of {1,2,3}, is the mapped relation that has 1, 2, and 3 on the input side on our left.

Therefore, the mapped relation in option C is the answer.

Explain the two ways we can find the slope from an equation written in STANDARD FORM. Which way is more convenient and WHY?

Crank

Answer: Derivative or y = mx + b

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the m value from the standard form equation:

y = mx + b

Or, the second way, is to take the derivative of the function and plug in your x value for your slope.

The derivative of a linear function is very easy to take, so it boils to preference
