Answer:
x = 7, x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the zeros by factoring the equation using the zero product property.
x^2-4x-21 = 0
(x-7)(x+3) = 0
<u>x-7 = 0</u>
x = 7
<u>x+3 = 0</u>
x = -3
Zeros are x=7 and x= -3.
Answer:

The value of a is 9 and b is -8
Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find two numbers that add up or subtract off to 1.
Then we also use the same two numbers that multiply and get -72.
Let's see:-
- 9 and -8 seem like correct values.
Because 9+(-8) is 9-8 = 1
And 9(-8) is -72.
Therefore:

The value of a is 9 and the value of b is -8 according to form of (x+a)(x+b)
A.
the y intercept is where x=0
x represents the number of months
when the number of months is 0, that is the initial number of games won
that looks to be a little below y=2, so maybe y=1.8?
the y intercept is y≈1.8
it represents the number of games won with 0 months of practice
B.
we can use y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
we know the y intercept
find the slope
slope=rise/run
the I'm going from x=0 to x=10
the rise is about 18.95 (from 1.8 to 20.75)
the run is 10
so slope would be 18.95/10=1.895
the equation would be y=1.895x+1.8
the points were (0,1.8) and (10,20.75)
Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+1=71
71-1=70
70÷2=35
therefore x must be 35
I would say 5 meals. 7/8 =.875. .875/4=.218. .218+.875=1.09 so the dog would eat 1.09 lb ofdog foodafter 5 meals
