X + x+1 + x + 2 = 20
3x + 3 = 20
3x = 17 but can't start with x = 6 because 6+7+8 > 20,
so have start with 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 are the 3 sides.
A function is something that lets you work out what something is depending a variable
e.g: x = y + 5
this function states that the unknown x is equal to whatever the variable y is plus 5
Answer:
x = -8 and x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
given
f(x) = (x+8) (x - 4)
recall that at any point on the x-axis, y = 0 [i.e f(x) = 0]
hence to find where the graph crosses the x-axis, we simply substitue f(x) = 0 into the equation and solve for x
f(x) = (x+8) (x - 4)
0 = (x+8) (x - 4)
Hence
either,
(x+8) = 0 ----> x = -8 (first crossing point)
or
(x-4) = 0 ------> x = 4 (second crossing point)
Hence the graph crosses the x-axis at x = -8 and x = 4
2000(3/5)
6000/5
1200
So 1200 doctors used brand X
