-2 = - x + x^2 -4 => x^2 - x - 4 + 2 = 0
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
a is the coefficient of x^2 => a = 1
b is the coefficient of x => b = - 1
c is the constant term => c = - 2
quadratic equation: [- b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a =
= { 1 +/- √[ (-1)^2 - 4(1)(-2)] } / (2(1) = { 1 +/- √ (1 + 8) } / 2 = {1 +/- √9} / 2 =
= { 1 +/- 3} / 2
answer c. none of the above
Answer:
A) 
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph has x-intercepts at 
and 
, so our factors for the polynomial will be 
and 
. This means we can rule out options B and D.
Our graph also has a y-intercept of 
when 
, so if we let 
and , we can find the multiplier:
Thus, the correct equation is A)
Step-by-step explanation:
perpendicular slope is negative reciprocal. -1/-1 = 1
y - 4 = x +3
y = x + 7
Answer:
Ruth is x+4=7/3+4, esmerelda is 5x+4=35/3+4
Step-by-step explanation:
if Ruth is x, esmerelda is 5x,
four years ago,
Ruth is x+4, esmerelda is 5x+4, depend on the sum, we get:
x+4+5x+4=22, x=7/3
so:
Ruth is x+4=7/3+4, esmerelda is 5x+4=35/3+4
