Factor and find the x-intercepts f(x) = x^2– 3x - 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
velikii [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

x² - 3x - 4 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)

The factors are - 4 and + 1, since

- 4 × 1 = - 4 and - 4 + 1 = - 3, thus

(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x- intercepts are (- 1, 0 ) and (4, 0 )

What is the area of a triangle whose vertices are j (-2,1), k (4,3), and l (-2,-5)?
Charra [1.4K]
A super easy way of doing this (my geometry teacher is my source) Plot all of the points on a graph, and then, draw the lines until you get a triangle, then, count all of the squares. The amount of squares will be your area.

A growth medium is inoculated with 1,000 bacteria, witch grow at rate of 15% each day. What is the population of the culture 6 d
Sonja [21]

Answer: the population of the culture 6 days after inoculation is 2313.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the population after t days.

t represents the number of days.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 1000

r = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

t = 6 days

Therefore

y = 1000(1 + 0.15)^6

y = 1000(1.15)^6

y = 2313

Kira decorates the exterior faces of a gift box in the shape of a cube .What is the surface area in square inches of the gift bo
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The surface area of the gift box that Kira decorates is 253.5\ in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

A cube has six square faces

The surface area of a cube is equal to the area of the six squares faces

SA=6b^{2}

where

b is the length side of a cube

In this problem we have

b=6.5\ in

substitute

SA=6(6.5)^{2}

SA=253.5\ in^{2}

Translate into algebra. Then, simplify, writing without the absolute value sign. “ The sum of distances from points A and B to p
jeyben [28]

The expression is: | x | = A + B + (A < C < B)

To simplify the expression, write without the absolute value sign and we would get this:

<span>x = A + B + (A < C < B)</span>
