What are the x-intercepts of 4x^ + 8x - 5

Mathematics

mojhsa [17]2 years ago

Assuming the exponent is supposed to be "^2" your equation will read:

4x² + 8x - 5

It must set equal to y to be a valid function and the y must be set equal to zero to find x-intercepts.

4x² + 8x - 5 = 0
4x² - 2x + 10x - 5 = 0
2x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1) = 0

(2x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0

Set each binomial equal to zero.

2x + 5 = 0
2x = 0 - 5
2x = - 5
Divide both sides by 2
x = - 5/2

2x - 1 = 0
2x = 0 + 1
2x = 1
x = 1/2

Your x-intercepts are x = - 5/2, 1/2 or (- 5/2, 0) and (1/2, 0)

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

59.38

The length of a rectangular park is four timesfour times its width. The park is surrounded by a 33​-foot-wide path. Let x denote
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

A(x) = 4x^2 + 330x + 4356

Step-by-step explanation:

width of park: x

length of park: 4x

width + path width = x + 66

length + path width = 4x + 66

area = (x + 66)(4x + 66)

area = 4x^2 + 66x + 264x + 4356

area = 4x^2 + 330x + 4356

A(x) = 4x^2 + 330x + 4356

When Mischa filled her car's gas tank before beginning a trip, the car's odometer read 44,587 miles. When she stopped for gas ne
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

18.11 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the miles traveled from the trip odometer, or subtract the original odometer reading from the new one.

Divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill the tank. The result will be your car’s average miles per gallon yield for that driving period.

44,895-44,587 = 308 miles

308/17 = 18.11
