Im assuming you mean 2x^2-3x-9=0 ?
If so, you have to factorise the equation
(2x-3) (x+3) = 0

2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 1.5

x + 3 = 0
x = -3

x is either 1.5 or -3

So  factor

if you have ax^2+bx+c then to factor find
x+y=b
xy=ac
so

a=2
b-03
c=-9
2 times -9=-18

factor -18
-1,18
-2, 9
-3, 6


now add and find the one that adds to -3


-1+18=17
-2+9=7
-3+ 6=3, could work, if signs are reversed

so the numbers are -6 and 3

split -3 up
2x^2-6x+3x-9
group
(2x^2-6x)+(3x-9)
undistribute
(2x)(x-3)+(3)(x-3)
reverse distributive property
ab+ac=a(b+c)
(2x+3)(x-3)


so we can't do anything else because it isn't an equation so it has non meaning

if it does equal zero then
xy=0 then x and/or y=0 so

(2x+3)(x-3)=0 so
2x+3=0 and x-3=0 so

2x+3=0
subtract 3 from both sides
2x=-3
divide by 2
x=-1.5

x-3=0
add 3 to both sides
x=3



x=-1.5 or 3

What graph represents the piecewise function?
adoni [48]

Answer: Lower left corner

A piecewise function is basically a combination of other functions to make one single function. We can break up the given piecewise function into two parts:

f(x) = x-4

OR

f(x) = -2x

The f(x) will change depending on what x happens to be. If x is 0 or smaller, then we go with f(x) = x-4. Otherwise, if x is larger than 0, then we opt for f(x) = -2x.

To graph this, we basically graph y = x-4 and y = -2x together on the same coordinate system. We only graph y = x-4 if x is 0 or smaller. Likewise, we graph y = -2x when x > 0. This results in the graph shown in the lower left corner of your four answer choices.

Note: the closed circle means "include this point as part of the graph". The open circle means "exclude this point as part of the graph". So this is why the upper right corner is very close but not quite the answer we want.

The price of a stock increased 12 cent Monday morning. On Monday afternoon, the price of the stock decreased 56 cent. On Tuesday
jeyben [28]
Ok, were starting at when the stock increased first which is 12 cents on monday.  to find your answer your going to need to add all of the increased cents first; then subtract.

12 + 14 = 26

So we have 26 cents, now we subtract the 56.

26 - 56 = -30

now we have -30.  now we find out how far away on the number line it is from 12.  your answer would be 42.

now for your answer, (i did all of that for other people who had the same question but different answer)

your answer would be 112 cents (which is option B)

Hai has 24 video games. Six of his games are sports related and the rest are role-playing games. Which ratio represents the numb
Ierofanga [76]
The total number of Games.....TNG=24
Sports Related Games...............SRG=06
Role Playing Games.....................RPG=18 (24-6)

The ratio of Role Playing Games to Total Number of Games=RPG:TNG
18:24
3:4 is the answer.  A ratio is actually a concept related to Division. Here in 18:24 you can divide both sides by 6 to reach the answer 3:4.
