Answer:

smaller x =-1/2

larger x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-7)(-4x - 2) = 0

Using the zero product property

(x-7)=0              (-4x - 2) = 0

x-7+7 = 0+7        -4x-2-2 =0+2

x=7                         -4x =2

                               -4x/-4 = 2/-4

                                    x = -1/2

Y = x^2+ 7x - 5 can be written in the form y = (x + a)^2+b
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex

Given y = x² + 7x - 5

To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

y = x² + 2( \frac{7}{2} )x +\frac{49}{4} - \frac{49}{4} - 5

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{49}{4} - \frac{20}{4}

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{69}{4}

Hence

a = \frac{7}{2} and b = - \frac{69}{4}

Find the sale price to the nearest cent .. $40 sweater; 33%discount​
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$26.80

Step-by-step explanation:

(I don't know exactly how other people were taught to do percentages, but this is how I was taught and I find it the easiest for me.)

You are going to subtract your percentage number by 100.

100 - 33 = 67

This will give you your multiplier so you can then get your answer but you have to turn it into a decimal.

0.67 x 40 = 26.80

Simplify the product using the distributive property. (-4h +2)(3h +7)
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

  A.  -12h² - 22h + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4h +2)(3h +7) = -4h(3h +7) +2(3h +7) . . . . . . . (a +b)c = ac +bc

  = (-4h)(3h) + (-4h)(7) + (2)(3h) + (2)(7) . . . . . . . a(b +c) = ab +ac . . . (twice)

  = -12h² -28h +6h +14

  = -12h² -22h +14 . . . . . . . . collect terms
