U could easily do this on Photo-math- but here: 6(x−3)
Answer:8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a. x = 2 , x = -5
b. no real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>a. x² + 3x – 10</u>
= x² - 2x + 5x - 10
= x (x²/x - 2x/x) + 5 (5x/5 - 2*5/5)
= (x - 2) (x + 5)
x - 2 = 0 x + 5 = 0
+ 2 +2 -5 -5
-------------- ---------------
x = 2 x = -5
x = 2 , x = -5
<u>b. 2x² - 4x + 3 </u>
This can't be solved because the equation has no real roots, and also the discriminant is negative.
First, let's factor the equation to make it easier to solve for the intercepts:
f(x) = x² + 12x + 32
f(x) = (x + 8)(x + 4)
To find the x-intercepts of a function, set the y value (f(x)) to 0:
0 = (x + 8)(x + 4)
x = -8, -4
Similarly, to find the y-intercept, set the x values to 0:
f(x) = (0 + 8)(0 + 4)
f(x) = (8)(4)
f(x) = 32
*Note that you can see 32 as the y-intercept in the parabola's original equation
