What are the zeros of f(x) = x2 + x - 20?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = - 5, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + x - 20

To find the zeros equate f(x) to zero, that is

x² + x - 20 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 20) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 1)

The factors are + 5 and - 4, since

5 × - 4 = - 20 and + 5 - 4 = + 1, hence

(x + 5)x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Answer:

The zeroes are {-5, 4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)  =  x^2 + x - 20 = 0

To factor this function we need 2 numbers whose sum is + 1 ( x = 1x) and whose product is -20. They are 5 and - 4 so we have:

(x + 5)(x - 4) = 0

x + 5 = 0 gives x = -5

and x - 4 = 0 gives x =  4.

Help pleaseee Im trying to get an A in class
likoan [24]

Answer:

191

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry it's sideways. I drew a box chart for this. First, fill in what you know: the number of white and black beads Ally has. Then, calculate how many black beads Betty has (Ally's number, 59, minus 35.) 59-35 = 24.

They tell you the total number of beads is 346. Add up Ally's total to get 131, then subtract that from 346. That's Betty's total beads, 215.

Last, subtract the 24 black beads Betty has from the 215 total to get 191.

4+5(p-1) how to expand brackets and then simplify
Valentin [98]

Step-by-step explanation:

these are multiplications.

you could also write

4 + 5×(p - 1)

now, we need to calculate the contents of brackets (if we can), then do the multiplications and divisions, before we can do the then remaining additions and subtractions.

if we cannot do a calculation directly (because there is a variable involved), we need to do and document the single steps for the individual parts involved.

so,

4 + 5×(p - 1) = 4 + 5×p + 5×-1 = 4 + 5p - 5 = 5p - 1

remember, a multiplication of 2 expressions is done by multiplying every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and adding the results up (by considering their individual signs, of course).
