Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0

Factor: (x+7)(x-3)=0

Solve for the 2 roots: x= -7 and x= 3: {3, -7} Note how this is in set notation.

Answer: the correct option is

(C) 3, -7.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for x :

$x^2+4x-21=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```(i)$

We will be solving the given quadratic equation by factorization.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

$x^2+4x-21=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+7x-3x-21=0\\\\\Rightarrow x(x+7)-3(x+7)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x-3)(x+7)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x-3=0,~~~x+7=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=3,~-7.$

Thus, the required values of x are

x = 3, -7.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

option D clothing

Step-by-step explanation:

State the converse, contrapositive, and inverse of each of these conditional statements a) If it snows tonight, then I will stay

marissa [1.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For the condition statement $p \rightarrow q$ or equivalent "If p then q"

The rule for Converse is: Interchange the two statements.
The rule for Inverse is: Negative both statements.
The rule for Contrapositive is: Negative both statements and interchange them.

Part (A) If it snows tonight, then I will stay at home.

Here p is If it snows tonight, and q is I will stay at home.

Converse: If I will stay at home then it snows tonight.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: If it doesn't snows tonight, then I will not stay at home.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I will not stay at home then it doesn't snows tonight.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (B) I go to the beach whenever it is a sunny summer day.

Here p is I go to the beach, and q is it is a sunny summer day.

Converse: It is a sunny summer day whenever I go to the beach.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: I don't go to the beach whenever it is not a sunny summer day.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: It is not a sunny summer day whenever I don't go to the beach.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (C) When I stay up late, it is necessary that I sleep until noon.

P is I sleep until noon and q is I stay up late.

Converse: If I sleep until noon, then it is necessary that i stay up late.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: When I don't stay up late, it is necessary that I don't sleep until noon.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I don't sleep until noon, then it is not necessary that i stay up late.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

segment MN is shown. Point M is located at (7,6). Point N is located at (7,-4) What is the midpoint segment of MN

Luda [366]

Answer:

The midpoint of MN is <u>(7,1)</u>

Add the x coordinates 7+7=14 then you divide that by 2 giving you 7.

Then you add the y coordinates together 6+(-4)=2 then divide by 2 and that gives you 1. Therefore the answer is (7,1)
