0.4 inches because of the scale
For a perfect square
b² = 4*a*c
Comparing ax² + bx + c = 0 to x² + bx + 16
a = 1, c = 16
<span>b² = 4*a*c
</span>
<span>b² = 4*1*16
</span>
<span>b² = 64
</span>
b = √64
b = 8
The value of b = 8.
Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.
x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0
Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=4
Answer:
They both have the same answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of a line is:
y-y1=m(x-x1), where m=slope and (x1,y1) is any point on the line
First we need to find the slope, which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(4--1)/(8-2)
m=5/6 and we can use either point, I'll use (8,4)
y-4=(5/6)(x-8)
That is your equation in point-slope form.
Now the standard equation of a line is ax+by=c
y-4=(5/6)(x-8) we can perform the indicated multiplication on the right side
y-4=(5x-40)/6 multiply both sides by 6
6y-24=5x-40 add 24 to both sides
6y=5x-16 subtract 5x from both sides
-5x+6y=-16 and by convention, the standard equation of a line should be expressed with a positive coefficient for x, so multiply both sides by -1
5x-6y=16
