a so-called zero or solution is really just an x-intercept, in which case we set the dependent variable to 0, namely y = h(x) = 0 and solve for x to get it.

$\bf h(x)=4x^2-8x-60\implies \stackrel{h(x)}{0}=4x^2-8x-60\implies \stackrel{\textit{dividing by 4}}{0=x^2-2x-15} \\\\\\ 0=(x-5)(x+3)\implies x= \begin{cases} 5\\ \boxed{-3} \end{cases}$

why is -3 the smallest? well, -3 is much smaller than 5 :), the further to the left you go on the number line, the smaller the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

First I'm going to assume that C and A are perpendicular.

Because its perpendicular, this creates a 90 degree angle which can be used to create the following equation.

$90 = 6x - 6 + 5x + 8$

Reduce

11x = 88

x = 8

We then plug in 8 into the equation 6x - 6 in order to solve for that angle.

6(8) - 6

Given points A(-1, -2) and B(2, 4) where AP: BP=1:2, find the locus of point P.

koban [17]

Answer:

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-1,-2)$

$B = (2,4)$

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Required

The locus of P

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Express as fraction

$\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}$

Cross multiply

$2AP = BP$

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2}$

So, we have:

$2 * \sqrt{(x - -1)^2 + (y - -2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

$2 * \sqrt{(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

Take square of both sides

$4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2$

Evaluate all squares

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16$

Collect and evaluate like terms

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Open brackets

$4x^2 + 8x + 4y^2 +16y + 20 = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Collect like terms

$4x^2 - x^2 + 8x + 4x + 4y^2 -y^2 +16y + 8y + 20 - 20 = 0$

$3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 +24y = 0$

Divide through by 3

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$
