set to zero
those are the roots or xintersepts
(x+1)(x+4)(x-7)=0
x+1=0
x=-1
x+4=0
x=-4
x-7=0
x=7
xints are (-4,0) (-1,0) (7,0)
Answer:
20/81
Step-by-step explanation:
Without parentheses, it is hard to tell what you are dividing. We assume you want ...
(4/9)/(9/5)
Then ...

_____
As written (without parentheses), your expression is evaluated left to right, so evaluates to ...
4/(9·9·5) = 4/405
Answer: (f-g)(2)=14
Step-by-step explanation:
(f – g) (-2) means the same as subtracting f(2) and g(2). Since we are given f(x) and g(x), we can use them to solve. There are two ways to solve. One is to find f(2) and g(2), and then subtract them. Another way is to do (f-g)(x), then plug in x=2. I will show both methods.
Method 1
f(2)=3(2)²+1 [exponent]
f(2)=3(4)+1 [multiply]
f(2)=12+1 [add]
f(2)=13
g(2)=1-(2) [subtract]
g(2)=-1
(f-g)(2)=13-(-1) [subtract f(2) and g(2)]
(f-g)(2)=14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2
(f-g)(x)=3x²+1-(1-x) [distribute -1]
(f-g)(x)=3x²+1-1+x [combine like terms]
(f-g)(x)=3x²+x
(f-g)(2)=3(2)²+2 [plug in x=2, exponent]
(f-g)(2)=3(4)+2 [multiply]
(f-g)(2)=12+2 [add]
(f-g)(2)=14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, we know that (f-g)(2)=14. We confirmed this with both methods.
0.48 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.
Step 2
Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]
