Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by 2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by 10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t1-t2= 3.6
x= 3.6+ t1+ t2
x= 3.6+ 2.1+ 10
x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

Between which two ordered pairs does the graph of f(x) = one-halfx2 + x – 9 cross the negative x-axis?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

f(x) = x^2 + x - 9

Using a graph tool

see the attached figure

The function represent a vertical parabola that open up

the vertex is a minimum-------> is the point (-0.5, -9.3)

The x-intercepts are the points when the y coordinate is equal to zero

The x-intercepts are the points (-3.5, 0)  and (2.5, 0)

so

the function cross the negative x-axis at point

therefore, the answer is

(-4, 0) and (-3, 0)
