Answer: x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the zeros, you want to first factor the expression.
x³+x²-36
(x-3)(x²+4x+12)
Now that we have found the factors, we set each to 0.
x-3=0
x=3
Since x²+4x+12 cannot be factored, we can forget about this part.
Therefore, the zeros are x=3. You can check this by plugging the expression into a graphing calculator to see the zeros.
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First square area = 4cm^2, thus the side length is 2cm
Second square area = 16cm^2, thus the side length is 4cm
This gives a ratio of 2/4, simplifying yields 1/2
So let’s say the equation is x^2 (x squared) -4x + 8 = 0. So you have to eventually graph a palabara. So to get the vertex, you have to find the line of symmetry (this plays a big part). So the formula for the line of symmetry is x= -b/2a. So A is this equation is 1. B is -4. C is 8. So you would plug these numbers in and you get 2. So (2,0) is your like of symmetry. Now you have to plug 2 back in for x. So when you do that you get 4 so the vertex is (2,4). So the vertex is (2, 4) and basically what the vertex is is it is the highest or lowest point of a palabara. So you can tel if it opens up or down by looking is A is negative or positive. If A is negative the it opens down. If it is positive then it opens up. So now you just put points in. Create a t chart. Like x/y. So when X is 1 for example, y is 5. So you graph (1, 5) and you graph the point that is the same distance from the line of symmetry. You do this until you have 5 points. I hope this helps. It’s hard to teach this over text.
