Answer: Peters age is 25 years old.

The two equations that can be written given the information are:
h = x/5 + 7   and    4h = 2x - 2
When x = Peter's age and h = Phil's age.

If we use substitution, we can come up with the equation:
4(x/5 + 7)= 2x - 2
4x/5 + 28 = 2x - 2 
4x + 140 = 10x - 10
150 = 6x
25 = x
Solving this for x, we give us that Peter's age is 25.

The function f(x) = 2x2 + 6x - 12 has a domain consisting of the integers from -2 to 1, inclusive. Which set represents the corr
Dimas [21]

Answer:

[-16,-4]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(x)=2x^2+6x-12

Domain=[-2,1]

We have to find the set of range values of f(x).

Substitute x=-2

f(-2)=2(-2)^2+6(-2)-12

f(-2)=-16

Substitute x=1

f(1)=2(1)+6(1)-12=-4

Range of f(x)=[-16,-4]

Hence, the set of range values of f(x)

[-16,-4]

Solve for the roots in the equation below. x4 + 3x2 - 4 = 0
fgiga [73]
First, you need to rewrite the expression into binomial form, so you are working with two terms (as you world with a quadratic):
(x²)²-3(x²)-4=0
Now, you can place the x²s into brackets as the coefficient is now 1:
(x²  )(x²  )
Next, find out two numbers that add together to give you -3 and multiply to give -4 (these are the leftover integers after removing the x²s). These two numbers are -4 and 1.
Place the -4 and 1 into the brackets:
(x²-4)(x²+1)=0
Notice that the x²-4 is a difference of two squares, so can be further factorised into (x+2)(x-2)
This leaves you with a final factorisation of:
(x+2)(x-2)(x²+1)=0
Now we handle each bracket individually to obtain our four solutions for x:
x+2=0
x=-2
x-2=0
x=2
x²+1=0
x²=1
x=<span>±1</span>
