In order to solve it, we need find the zero of the polynomial.

we find the zero of the polynomial by splitting the middle term method

2x2 -+ 4x - 16

= 2x2 + 8x - 4x -16

= 2x( x + 4)- 4(x + 4)
= (2x-)(x+4)

we find the zeroes of the factors

experimentally we find two values, 2 and -4.

Thus, values of x are 2 and -4

Mai poured `2.6` liters of water into a partially-filled pitcher. The pitcher now contains `10.4` liters. Mai wants to know how
prisoha [69]

Answer: 7.8

Step-by-step explanation: If we want to find the amount that was in the pitcher before then we subtract 2.6 from 10.4 to find the original amount because if the pitcher were to contain an amount that only adds up to 10.4 before we add 2.6 then the number that adds with 2.6 to equal 10.4 is our answer

hence our answer 7.8

Determine if AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Given: A (−1, 3), B (0, 5), C (2, 1), D (6, −1)
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if AB and CD are  parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we need to get the slope of AB and CD first

Given A (−1, 3), B (0, 5),

Slope Mab = 5-3/0-(-1)

Mab = 2/1

Mab = 2

Slope of AB is 2

Given C (2, 1), D (6, −1)

Slope Mcd = -1-1/6-2

Mcd = -2/4

Mcd = -1/2

Slope of CD is -1/2

Take their product

Mab * Mcd = 2 * -1/2

Mab * Mcd = -1

Since the product of their slope is -1, hence AB and CD are perpendicular
