5 0

Answer:

x = -2

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Rearrange

x² + 12x + 20 = 0

Step 2: Factorise

(x + 2)(x + 10)

Step 3: Find the roots / values of x

Make each bracket equal zero.

(x + 2) = x = -2

(x + 10) = x = -10

Hope this helps!

V1/V2=T1/T2. Solve for V1

Ahat [919]

V1=(T1/T2)*V2
In this problem, since you are given no actual numbers, the only thing you can do is multiply V2 over to get V1 alone. Since you can't cancel anything out, you are left with the answer above.

The graph of a proportional relationship passes through the point (6, 21). What is the equation for the relationship?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The equation for the relationship is $y = \frac{7}{2}\cdot x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point $(x,y) = (6, 21)$ is part of a direct relationship. That is:

$y \propto x$

$y = k\cdot x$ (1)

Where $k$ is the proportionality constant.

If we know that $x = 6$ and $y = 21$ , then the proportionality constant is:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{21}{6}$

$k = \frac{7}{2}$

Lastly, the equation for the relationship is $y = \frac{7}{2}\cdot x$ .

Find a and b if the point p(6,0) and Q(3,2) lie on the graph of ax+ by=12

tiny-mole [99]

to get the equation of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use P and Q here and then let's set the equation in standard form, that is

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{-3}\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-0)~~ = ~~3\left( -\cfrac{2}{3}(x-6) \right)}\implies 3y=-2(x-6) \\\\\\ 3y=-2x+12 \implies \stackrel{a}{2} x+\stackrel{b}{3} y=12$
