Step-by-step explanation:

We khow the sum and the product of the zeroes of this quadratic polynomial

Here is a trick :

when we khow the sum S and the product P ofvtwo numbers we can find them by solving :

x²-Sx+p=0

here S= -8 and P=12

so:

x²+8x+12=0

Let Δ be the discrminant of this equation: a= 1 , b= 8 and c=12

Δ= 8²-4*12 =16

the zeros are:

(-8-4)/2= -6

(-8+4)/2 = -2

verify:

-6+(-2)= -8

-2*(-6)= 12

now the polynomial quadratic is:

(x+6)(x+2)

Answer:362

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the ones digit is 2. Since the hundreds digit is one more, it's 3. And because the tens is twice the hundreds, it's 6. The number is 362

Answer:

n must be greater than 5 for the product to be greater than 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 times 2/5 = 4 (no)

10 times 6/5 = 12 (yes)

10 times 5/5 = 10 (no)

Please help with the attached question. Thanks

Answer:

Choice A) $F(x) = 3\sqrt{x + 1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

What are the changes that would bring $G(x)$ to $F(x)$ ?

Translate $G(x)$ to the left by $1$ unit, and
Stretch $G(x)$ vertically (by a factor greater than $1$ .)

$G(x) = \sqrt{x}$ . The choices of $F(x)$ listed here are related to $G(x)$ :

Choice A) $F(x) = 3\;G(x+1)$ ;
Choice B) $F(x) = 3\;G(x-1)$ ;
Choice C) $F(x) = -3\;G(x+1)$ ;
Choice D) $F(x) = -3\;G(x-1)$ .

The expression in the braces (for example $x$ as in $G(x)$ ) is the independent variable.

To shift a function on a cartesian plane to the left by $a$ units, add $a$ to its independent variable. Think about how $(x-a)$ , which is to the left of $x$ , will yield the same function value.

Conversely, to shift a function on a cartesian plane to the right by $a$ units, subtract $a$ from its independent variable.

For example, $G(x+1)$ is $1$ unit to the left of $G(x)$ . Conversely, $G(x-1)$ is $1$ unit to the right of $G(x)$ . The new function is to the left of $G(x)$ . Meaning that $F(x)$ should should add $1$ to (rather than subtract $1$ from) the independent variable of $G(x)$ . That rules out choice B) and D).

Multiplying a function by a number that is greater than one will stretch its graph vertically.
Multiplying a function by a number that is between zero and one will compress its graph vertically.
Multiplying a function by a number that is between $-1$ and zero will flip its graph about the $x$ -axis. Doing so will also compress the graph vertically.
Multiplying a function by a number that is less than $-1$ will flip its graph about the $x$ -axis. Doing so will also stretch the graph vertically.

The graph of $G(x)$ is stretched vertically. However, similarly to the graph of this graph $G(x)$ , the graph of $F(x)$ increases as $x$ increases. In other words, the graph of $G(x)$ isn't flipped about the $x$ -axis. $G(x)$ should have been multiplied by a number that is greater than one. That rules out choice C) and D).

Overall, only choice A) meets the requirements.

Since the plot in the question also came with a couple of gridlines, see if the points $(x, y)$ 's that are on the graph of $F(x)$ fit into the expression $y = F(x) = 3\sqrt{x - 1}$ .
