The quadratic equation for this would be f(x) = 5x^2 - 10x - 120.

In order to find that, we need to start by taking our x intercept values and setting them equal to zero.

x = 6 ----> subtract 6 from both sides

x - 6 = 0

x = -4 ----> add 4 to both sides

x + 4 = 0

Now that we have both of these zero terms, we can multiply them to get a standard form.

f(x) = (x - 6)(x + 4)

And while this will give us the zeros we need, it will no give us the lead coefficient. So we must multiply by the desired lead coefficient.

f(x) = 5(x - 6)(x + 4)

f(x) = 5(x^2 - 6x + 4x - 24)

f(x) = 5(x^2 - 2x - 24)

f(x) = 5x^2 - 10x - 120

Simplify the following radicals. 1. √16 2. √17 3. √18 4. √19 5. √20
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) \sqrt{16}= \sqrt{4*4}=4\\\\\\2)  \sqrt{17}

This is the simplest form as 17 is a prime number.

3)  \sqrt{18}= \sqrt{2*3*3} = 3 \sqrt{2}\\\\\\4) \sqrt{19}

19 is a prime number. so it is the simplest form.

5)  \sqrt{20}= \sqrt{2*2*5}=2 \sqrt{5}
