Answer:

5x² - 10x - 15 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the roots are x = 3 and x = - 1, then the factors are

(x - 3) and (x + 1) and the quadratic is the product of the factors, that is

f(x) = a(x - 3)(x + 1) ← a is a multiplier

Here a = 5, thus

f(x) = 5(x - 3)(x + 1) ← expand factors using FOIL

     = 5(x² - 2x - 3) ← distribute parenthesis by 5

     = 5x² - 10x - 15

Thus equation is

5x² - 10x - 15 = 0

Answer: x = 9 (choice D)

Assuming this is a geometric kite, then this means that triangle ABD is a reflection over the line BD to get triangle BCD. Furthermore, this points to AB and BC being the same length

AB = BC

3x - 5 = 22 .... substitution

3x - 5+5 = 22+5 .... add 5 to both sides

3x = 27

3x/3 = 27/3 ..... divide both sides by 3

x = 9

Find the coordinates of y-axis
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Find the coordinates of the point on the y-axis which is nearest to the point (-2, 5). Hint: Any general coordinates on y-axis can be written as (0, y), as the x-coordinate on y-axis is always zero. Use this along with the distance formula to get the nearest point to (-2, 5).
