Find the smallest zero for the function h(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 60

Answer:

The smallest zero is x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation h(x)=4x^2-8x-60

In order to find the zero, h(x) = 0

4x^2-8x-60=0

We can rewrite the equation by factor out 4

x^2-2x-15=0

Middle term can be written as -2x = -5x+3x

x^2-5x+3x-15=0

Now, we factored out GCF

x(x-5)+3(x-5)=0

Factored out the common term

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Apply the zero product property

(x-5)=0, (x+3)=0\\\\x=5,-3

Hence, the smallest zero is x = -3

Note that h(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 60 factors to 4(x^2 - 2x - 15), and that the roots (zeros) of (x^2 - 2x - 15) are -5 and +3.  Thus, the smallest zero is -5.

If y = 3x+b intersects y= mx +3 at (2, 3), find the value of b and m.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The value of b is -3 and m is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to substitute the coordinates into both equation in order to find m and b value :

Find m,

y = mx + 3

At (2,3),

3 = m(2) + 3

3 - 3 = 2m

2m = 0

m = 0

Find b,

y = 3x + b

At (2,3),

3 = 3(2) + b

b + 6 = 3

b = 3 - 6

b =  - 3

Please help me with these rotation problem.​
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachment, the points are listed in the order given in the problem statement. (They are listed to the right of the "rotation matrix", with x-coordinates above y-coordinates.)

__

I really don't like to do repetitive calculations, so I try to use a graphing calculator or spreadsheet whenever possible. Angles are measured CCW.

As always, the rotation transformations are ...

  180° — (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)

  270° — (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)
