Answer:
1. x = ±9
2.
3. 12 and -12.
4. Antoine is incorrect. There exists two solutions x=5 and x= -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the questions,
Problem 1. i.e.
i.e. x = ±9.
Problem 2. i.e.
i.e.
i.e.
Problem 3. [tex]f(x)=x^{2}-144[tex]
To find the roots, we take, [tex]x^{2}-144=0[tex] i.e. [tex]x^{2}=144[tex] i.e. x = ±12.
Thus, the options are 12 and -12.
Problem 4. We have [tex]f(x)=x^{2}+25[tex]
For the roots, we take, [tex]x^{2}+25=0[tex] i.e. [tex]x^{2}=25[tex] i.e. x = ±5.
Thus, Antoine is not correct and two solutions namely x=5 and x= -5 exists.
The correct answer is b), or x² = -12y.
Explanation:
This equation may be written in standard form as
The coefficient in front of x² is negative so the curve is downward.
The vertex has coordinates (0,0).
The vertex is equidistant from the directrix and the focus, so the focus is (0, -3).
