Which statement is true about the equation (x – 4)(x + 2) = 16? The equation x – 4 = 16 can be used to solve for a solution of t

he given equation. The standard form of the equation is x2 – 2x – 8 = 0. The factored form of the equation is (x + 4)(x – 6) = 0. One solution of the equation is x = –6.

Answer:

3rd statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets go through the choices and see.

The first one says:

The equation x – 4 = 16 can be used to solve for a solution of the given equation.

If we solve this we get x=20. I just added 4 on both sides.

Is 20 a solution thr original equation? Let's check. We need to replace x with 20 in

(x – 4)(x + 2) = 16 to check.

(20-4)(20+2)=16

(16)(22)=16

16 times 22 is definitely not equal to 16 so the first statement is false.

Lets check option 2:

The standard form of the equation is

x2 – 2x – 8 = 0.

So lets put our equation in standard form and see:

(x – 4)(x + 2) = 16

Foil is what we will use:

First: x(x)=x^2

Inner: (-4)x=-4x

Outer: x(2)=2x

Last: -4(2)=-8

Add together to get: x^2-2x-8. We still have the equal 16 part.

So the equation is now x^2-2x-8=16. Subtracting 16 on both sides will put the equation in standard form. This gives us

x^2-2x-24=0. This is not the same as the standard form suggested by option 2 in our choices.

Checking option 3:

This says:

The factored form of the equation is

(x + 4)(x – 6) = 0.

So we already put our original equation in standard form. Lets factor our standard form and see if is the same as option 3 suggests.

To factor x^2-2x-24, we need to find two numbers that multiply to be -24 and add to be -2. These numbers are 4 and -6 because 4(-6)=-24 and 4+(-6)=-2. So the factored form of our equation is (x+4)(x-6)=0 which is what option 3 says. So option 3 is true.

Let's go ahead and check option 4: It says: One solution of the equation is x = –6. This is false because solving (x+4)(x-6)=0 gives us the solutions x=-4 and x=6. Neither one of those is -6. *

* I solved (x+4)(x-6)=0 by setting both factors equal to zero and solving them for x. Like so,

x+4=0 or x-6=0.

Answer:

Factored form...

Step-by-step explanation:

Foil out (x-4)(x+2)=16

First: x*x=x^{2}

Outer: 2*x=2x

Inner: -4*x = -4x

Last: -4*2 = -8

Combine them all:

x^2+2x-4x-8=16

Simplify:

x^2-2x-8=16\\x^2-2x-24=0

What multiplies together to make -24 but adds together to make -2?

Lets list the factors of -24 to decide:

1 x -24

2 x -12

3 x -8

4 x -6

-6+4 = -2

Therefore...

(x-6)(x+4)=0

A truck is carrying a cars weighing an average of 4500 pounds each what is the total weight in tons of cars on the truck
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

2.25 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a conversion problem. The connection between ton and pound is in the following order:

1 pound = 0.0005 tons

By multiplying each side by 4500 we can easily find the answer of this problem:

4500 pounds = 2.25 tons

Finger [1]

Answer:

x ---- y

1 ---- 3

4 ---- 12

6 ---- 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 3x

Required

Create a table that represents this scenario

Because x represents time, x can not be negative. So, the domain of x is:

x \geq 0

Assume x = 1

y = 3 * 1 = 3

Assume x = 4

y=3*4 = 12

Assume x = 6

y=3*6 = 18

Hence, the table is:

x ---- y

1 ---- 3

4 ---- 12

6 ---- 18

Use the regression calculator to compare the teams’ number of runs with their number of wins. a 2-column table with 9 rows. colu
-Dominant- [34]

The equation of the trend line is ŷ = 0.15x - 23.21

<h3>How to determine the average rate of change of the trend line?</h3>

The points are given as:

hr =>808, 768, 655, 684, 637, 619, 613, 609, 563

w =>  93, 94, 66, 81, 86, 75, 61, 69, 55.

Using a graphing calculator, we have the following calculation summary:

  • Sum of X = 5956
  • Sum of Y = 680
  • Mean X = 661.7778
  • Mean Y = 75.5556
  • Sum of squares (SSX) = 50569.5556
  • Sum of products (SP) = 7547.1111

The regression equation is represented as:

ŷ = bX + a

Where:

b = SP/SSX

b = 7547.11/50569.56

b = 0.14924

a = MY - bMX

a = 75.56 - (0.15*661.78)

a  = -23.20961

This gives

ŷ = 0.14924X - 23.20961

Approximate

ŷ = 0.15x - 23.21

Hence, the equation of the trend line is ŷ = 0.15x - 23.21
