The zeros of given function y=x^{2}+8 x+15 is – 5 and – 3

<u>Solution:</u>

\text { Given, equation is } y=x^{2}+8 x+15

We have to find the zeros of the function by rewriting the function in intercept form.

By using intercept form, we can put value of y as  to obtain zeros of function

We know that, intercept form of above equation is x^{2}+8 x+15=0

\text { Splitting } 8 x \text { as }(5+3) x \text { and } 15 \text { as } 5 \times 3

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow x^{2}+(5+3) x+5 \times 3=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x^{2}+5 x+3 x+5 \times 3=0}\end{array}

Taking “x” as common from first two terms and “3” as common from last two terms

x (x + 5) + 3(x + 5) = 0

(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0

Equating to 0 we get,

x + 5 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

x = - 5 or – 3

Hence, the zeroes of the given function are – 5 and – 3

Is the expression 2f + 4f + 2 – 3 equivalent to 6f – 1? 6f – 1 evaluated at f = 9 is 53. 2f + 4f + 2 – 3 evaluated at f = 9 is a
morpeh [17]
We have that

the expression 2f + 4f + 2 – 3-------> we can group it   (2f+4f)+(2-3)
(2f+4f)+(2-3)=(6f-1)
therefore
the expression [2f + 4f + 2 – 3] is equivalent to [6f-1]

if the expression [6f-1] for f=3 is 17
then
the expression [2f + 4f + 2 – 3] for f=3 is also 17

<span>let's check it
</span>[2*3 + 4*3 + 2 – 3]--------> [6+12+2-3]=[20-3]=17------> is ok

(8x – 20)-16 =10x+51
Lemur [1.5K]

When solving this equation, you get the answer as -43.5.

To solve, we simply need to collect like-terms and then rearrange to get x on one side and numbers on the other:

(8x - 20) - 16 = 10x + 51

8x - 36 = 10x + 51

- 8x

-36 = 2x + 51

- 51

-87 = 2x

÷ 2

-43.5 = x

I hope this helps!

Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring units. What is the height of the triangle? a) 12 units b) 24 units
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The height of the equilateral triangle is 24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, the unit of the side of the equilateral triangle is not given. If the complete question is:

Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 square root of 3 units, then the length of each side is 16√3 units.

To find the height of the triangle, we use Pythagoras theorem

MP^2 + PO^2 = MO^2

Let MP^2 be x

x^2 + {(16√3)/2}^2 = (16√3)^2

X^2 + (256*3)/4 = 256*3

4x^2 + 768 = 768* 4

4x^2 + 768 = 3072

4x^2 = 3072-768

4x^2 = 2304

X^2 = 2304/4

X^2 = 576

x= √576

x = 24 units
