Find the zeros of y=x2-4x-9 by completing the square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Naya [18.7K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 2 ± \sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let y = 0, that is

x² - 4x - 9 = 0 ( add 9 to both sides )

x² - 4x = 9

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2) x + 4 = 9 + 4

(x - 2)² = 13 ← take the square root of both sides

x - 2 = ± \sqrt{13} ← add 2 to both sides

x = 2 ± \sqrt{13}

Create a 3rd degree polynomial function with one zero at three. Sketch a graph
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

f(x) =  {x}^{3}  - 9 {x}^{2}  + 27x - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to create a third degree polynomial function with one zero at three.

In other words, we want to find a polynomial function with roots x=3 , multiplicity, 3.

Since x=3 is a solution, x-3 is the only factor that repeats thrice.

f(x) =  {(x - 3)}^{3}

We expand to get:

f(x) =  x( {x}^{2}  - 6x  + 9) - 3( {x}^{2}  - 6x + 9)

f(x) =  {x}^{3}  - 6 {x}^{2}  + 9x- 3 {x}^{2}   + 18x  - 27

This simplifies to:

f(x) =  {x}^{3}  - 9 {x}^{2}  + 27x - 27

The science club went on a two day field trip. The first day the members paid $60 for Transportation plus $15 per ticket to the
DaniilM [7]
T= Total cost
m= # of members

Total equals $60 fee plus ($15 times # of members) plus $95 fee plus ($12 times # of members)

T= $60 + $15m + $95 + $12m
combine like terms

EXPRESSION:
T= $27m + $155

Hope this helps! :)
