The x-intercepts of this function are -11 and -1.

The easiest way to find the intercepts of this graph is by factoring. To factor a quadratic, we look for factors of the last number, that add up to the middle number. Below are the factors of the last number.

1 and 11

-1 and -11

Now we look for one that adds up to positive 12.

1 and 11

-1 and -11

Since these two add up to the middle number, we can use them in parenthesis with x + and factor. If there was not a pair, we would then have to use the quadratic equation.

f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 11)

Now to solve for the x-intercepts, we set each parenthesis equal to 0 and solve for x.

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

x + 11 = 0

x = -11

Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation h = -16t2 + 72t +

boyakko [2]

Answer:

about 5.613 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the quadratic formula to find the value of t when h = 0, we have ...

at² +bt +c = 0

t = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

t = (-72±√(72² -4(-16)(100)))/(2(-16))

t = (-72±√11584)/-32 = (9±√181)/4

Only the positive value of t is of interest.

The coin will hit the stream after (9+√181)/4 seconds ≈ 5.613 seconds.

What is the relationship between the exponents of (3^2) ^4 and the exponents of 3 ^8

zysi [14]

Answer:

They are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

$(a^m)^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$

Given

$(3^2)^{4}$ = $3^{2.4}$ = $3^{8}$

The exponents of both expression are 8 and therefore equal
