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}

When looking at the graph of a 5th degree function, how can you determine if all of the zeros of the function are real?
Finger [1]

Answer:

If it cuts x-axis 5 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we look at the graph of a function we can see its real roots by looking at its graph

The intersecting points that is the number of times a line cutting x-axis will be the real root of the function

So, by looking at the 5th degree function the number of time that function cuts x-axis will be the number of real roots.

So, if we need to say all the zeroes or roots of the function are real means it will cut the x-axis 5 times.

Because a function will have the root equal to its degree.

The speed of the current is 7 mph. The boat travels three times slower against the current than with the current. What is the sp
kotykmax [81]
Let the speed of the boat be x
so going against the current the speed is x-7
going with the current the speed is x+7

let the distance be d
time = distance / speed
time to go against the current = d/(x-7)
time to go with the current = d/(x+7)

time going against the current is 3 times going <span>with the current
</span>
d/(x-7) = 3d/(x+7)     ⇒⇒⇒ divide by d 
1/(x-7) = 3/(x+7) 
x+7 = 3(x-7) 
x+7 = 3x - 21
2x = 28
x = 14

So, the speed of the boat in still water is = 14 mph
