Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+5x-14
factor by finding multiples of (-14) that add up to 5
7*-2=-14
7+-2=5
So the factored out equation is (x+7)(x-2)
Therefore the solutions are x=-7 and x=2
Either one at any given time could be equal to zero. So
x + 2 = 0
x = - 2
x - 18 = 0
x = 18
I've enclosed a graph of this so you can see that the answers I've given are the ones expected.
Answer:
k = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points are collinear then the slopes between consecutive points are equal.
Using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1)
m =
=
= 
Repeat with another 2 points and equate to 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 4)
m =
, then
=
( cross- multiply )
k - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )
k = 11
Answer:
3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
