loris [4]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3 thus 0 is the smallest root

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x (x - 5) (x - 2) (x + 3) = 0

Split into four equations:

x - 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

x = 5 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

Answer: x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3

hjlf

Answer:

x=2.833

Step-by-step explanation:

−4(3/2x−1/2)=−15

-4(3/2x)-4(-1/2)= -15

-6x = -17

x= -17/-6

x=2.833

Between 2000 and 2010, the percentage of fatal automobile accidents due to speeding decreased by 34% to 16%. What percentage of
docker41 [41]

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010 the percentage of fatal accidents was 16%.

This is 34% less than it was in 2000 because the text says that the 2010 percentage was 16% after being reduced by 34% from 2010.

The percentage of fatal accidents in 2000 is therefore:

= 2010 fatal percentage + Percentage reduced from 2000

= 16% + 34%

= 50%

Please help me with the question
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's at the same time of the day, the ratio between the height of the person and the shadow they cast will stay the same. So the man's height to shadow ratio is 6:8 = 3:4. The son's height to shadow ratio would be the same so x:4 = 3:4 therefore his height is 3 feet.
