X^2 + 12x + 6 = -5
x^2 + 12x = -5 - 6
x^2 + 12x = -11
x^2 + 12x + 36 = -11 + 36.....u add 36 to both sides <=
(x + 6)^2 = 25
x + 6 = (+-) sqrt 25
x + 6 = (+-) 5
x = -6 (+-) 5

x = -6 + 5
x = -1

x = -6 - 5
x = -11

solutions are : x = -1 or x = -11

ur answer : add 36 to both sides.. ur x term is 12, take half of ur x term ,which gives u 6, then u square it, which gives u 36...and add that to both sides

Suppose f is a function. If 10 = f(-4), find the coordinates of a point on the graph of f?
Rashid [163]

Given:

For a function f, 10 = f(-4).

To find:

The coordinates of a point on the graph of f.

Solution:

We have,

10 = f(-4)

It means the value of function f is 10 at -4.

On a coordinate plane x-axis represents the input values and y-axis represents the output values of a function. So,

x-coordinate = input value = -4

y-coordinate = output value = 10

Therefore, the required coordinates of a point on the graph of f are (-4,10).

Preston is making cookies. He has fraction 4 over 5 cups of flour in a bag. He then used two fractions 1 over 10 cup scoops of f
maks197457 [2]
Step 1: 1/10 + 1/10 = 2/10

Step 2: 4/5 - 2/10
GCF: multiply both sides of 4/5 by 2 = 8/10

Step 3: 8/10 - 2-10 = 6/10

ANSWER: C <span>fraction 6 over 10, because fraction 4 over 5 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 10 equals fraction 4 over 5 minus fraction 2 over 10 </span>

2/5 of a number is what percentage of that number?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find percent, you can set up the fraction 2/5 to the equation x/100.

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{100}

Then solve using algebra to cross-multiply.

(2*100)=(x*5)

200 = 5x

x = \frac{200}{5} = 40

so the answer is 40%.
