Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, as alpha and beta are zeroes of
it means that their sum is alpha+beta=1 and their product alpha*beta=-2.
The polynomial whose zeroes are 2 alpha + 1 and 2 beta + 1, means that the sum of its zeroes is 2(alpha+beta)+2=2+2=4
and the product is (2alpha+1)(2beta+1)=4 alpha*beta + 2(alpha+beta) + 1 = 4 * (-2) + 2*(1) +1 = -8 + 2 + 1 = -5. so one of these polynomials is
Thank you.
So if you want to fit the y-intercepts or "b", on the y-axis you should go by 25's [0, 25, 50, 75, 100...]
If the x-axis <u>does not have to</u> follow the same pattern (25's), you should go by 5's [0, 5, 10, 15, 20...]
y = 7x + 50
y = 2x + 175
First I would plot the y-intercepts for each equation, then plot a few points with x = 5, 10, 15 Then draw a straight line.
The point where the two lines meet/cross paths is your solution. It should be (25, 225) The x-axis is the number of miles, and the y-axis is the total cost. So Truck driver A and B would arrive/be at the same place/meet in 25 miles at the same cost of $225
