First of all to transfer <span>(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0 into a form where we can plug it into the quadratic formula we need to use the FOIL method.
</span><span>(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0
</span> becomes
2x*x+2x*6+-1*x+-1*6
which simplifies to
2x^2 + 12x - x - 6
and then we add like terms to get
2x^2 + 11x - <span>6
</span>
now that it is in the correct form we can identify "a" "b" and "c" by following this form
ax^2 + bx + c
looking back at the equation we got earlier
2x^2 + 11x - <span>6</span>
a=2,b=11,and c=-6
Solutions
To solve the problem we first have to convert the fraction into a decimal. To convert a fraction into a decimal you have to divide the <span>numerator</span> by the denominator.
7/8
= 7 ÷ 8
= 0.875
0.875 is bigger then 0.78 therefore 7/8 is greater.
The zeros would be -10 and 2. zeros are the numbers that touch the x-axis
Answer:
f(x) = 4(1.02)^(7x); spreads at a rate of approximately 2% daily
Step-by-step explanation:
The weekly number of people infected is:
f(x) = 4(1.15)^x
So the daily number of people infected is:
f(x) = 4(1+r)^(7x)
To find the value of the daily rate r, we set this equal to the first equation.
4(1.15)^x = 4(1+r)^(7x)
(1.15)^x = (1+r)^(7x)
(1.15)^x = ((1+r)^7)^x
1.15 = (1+r)^7
1.02 = 1+r
r = 0.02
So the equation is f(x) = 4(1.02)^(7x), and the daily rate is approximately 2%.
