Answer:

either x or y must equal 0

Step-by-step explanation:

ts given that xy = 0

Remember that product of two numbers can be zero only if:

Both of them are zero or Either of them is zero as zero multiplied to any non-zero number will always be equal to zero. This is known as Zero Product Property.

So, if the product of x and y is equal to 0 there are two possibilities:

Both x and y are equal to 0

Either x or y must be equal to 0

Note that the condition both x and y are equal to zero is not a must condition, because even if one of them is equal to zero, the entire expression will be equal to zero.

Hence, the condition which has to be true in all cases for xy = 0 is:

either x or y must equal 0

Answer:

(-∞, -6] U [-2, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, begin by factoring this quadratic equation into its factored form:

x² + 8x + 12 ≥ 0 becomes (x+6)(x+2) ≥ 0.

x = -6, and x = -2 are the zeros of this parabola. Therefore:

(-∞, -6] U [-2, ∞) are the parts of the graph above y = 0 because the graph

opens upward.

** Remember, when the '≥' sign is present, the

square brackets must be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular piece of land borders a wall. The land is to be enclosed and to be into divided 3 equal plots with 200 feet of fencing

Let x be the length of each box and y be the width of the box

Perimeter of the box= 3(length ) + 4(width)
