Answer:
f(x) = 3x² - 15x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) has roots x = a and x = b, then
(x - a) and (x - b) are the factors
f(x) is then the product of the factors
f(x) = a(x - a)(x - b) ← where a is a multiplier
Given roots are x = 4 and x = 1, then
(x - 4) and (x - 1) are the factors
With a = 3, then
f(x) = 3(x - 4)(x - 1) ← expand factors using FOIL
= 3(x² - 5x + 4) ← distribute
= 3x² - 15x + 12
Answer: 59$
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Let the discounted rate be ‘x’
No. of visits = 4
Total Amount for the visits = 4 * x = 4x
Additional cost = 25$
Total Amount = 261$
Therefore,
= 4x + 25 = 261
= 4x = 261 - 25 = 236
=> x = 236/4 = 59
Therefore, x = 59
Hence, discounted rate = 59$
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve both equations:
1) 9x = 5x + 4
Simplifying
9x = 5x + 4
Reorder the terms:
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
9x + -5x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
4x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
4x = 4 + 0
4x = 4
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 1
Simplifying
x = 1
2) 14x = 4
14x = 4 (divide both sides by 14 to get x)
14x/14 = 4/14
x = 0.285714285714
As you can see, the value of x in the second equations is less than one, therefore making these algebraic equations not equivalent.
