Hi there!
We are given the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0, and we are told to solve it. Well, we can first take all the factors of 12 -
1 12
2 6
3  4
Now, take the sum of each factor pair -
1, 12 = 13
2, 6 = 8
3, 4 = 7
Find which factor pair adds up to 7, and we can see that 3 and 4 add up to seven, while also having a product of 12. Therefore, since the whole equation has addition signs, we can factor the equation w² + 7w + 12 into (w + 3)(w + 4) = 0. Next, using the Zero Product Property, we can set each term to zero.
w + 3 = 0
w = -3

w + 4 = 0
w = -4
Therefore, the solution to the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0 is w = -3, -4. Hope this helped and have a great day!

For each pair of points below, think about the line that joins them. For which pairs is the line parallel to the y-axis? Circle
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are always same.

Following this rule we can find the slope by the given pairs of coordinates of the options.

If the slope of the line is same as the slope of y axis then the line passing through these points will be parallel to the y axis.

Slope of y - axis = ∞

Option A). Slope = \frac{y-y'}{x-x'}

                            =  \frac{24-8.5}{3.22-3.2}

                            = \frac{15.5}{0.02}

                            = 775

Therefore, line passing through points (3.2, 8.5) and (3.22, 24) is not parallel to y axis.

Option B). Slope of the line passing through (\frac{40}{3},\frac{14}{3}) and (\frac{40}{3},7) will be

= \frac{\frac{14}{3}-7}{\frac{40}{3}-\frac{40}{3}}

= ∞

Therefore, line passing though these points is parallel to the y axis.

Option C). Slope of the line passing through (2.9,5.4) and (7.2, 5.4)

= \frac{5.4-5.4}{7.2-2.9}

= 0

Therefore, slope of this line is not equal to the slope of y axis.

Option B. is the answer.

11. The formula for the are of a triangle is A = 1/2 bh.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

2A/b

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2(b)(h)

2A=(b)(h)    Multiply both sides by 2

2A/b=h       Divide both sides by b

h=2A/b

Find the arc length of the partial circle.
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

38.485(correct to 5 significant figure)/ 12.25π

Step-by-step explanation:

\pi(7 {}^{2} )( \frac{90degree}{360deree} )

= \pi(49)( \frac{1}{4} )

=38.485(cor. to 5 sig.fig.)/ 12.25π

to find arc length of sector,we need to π(radius²)(sector's degree divided by 360 degree)
