X^2 - 4 Find the roots

1 answer:

8 0

Write the polynomial as an equation.
y=x^2-4

To find the roots of the equation, replace y with 0 and solve.
0=x^2-4

Replace y with 0 and solve for x
X^2-4=0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation
X^2=4

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.
X= ±√4

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.
X=2,-2

What is this expression in simplrest form 24v/3v

olasank [31]

If you would like to know what is the following expression in the simplest form, you can calculate it like this:

If you 24v / 3v divide by v, you will get 24 / 3. Now, if you divide 24 by 3, you will get 8.

The simplest form of 24v / 3v would be 8.

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form (y = mx + b) going through the points

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3-0}{4+2}$ = $\frac{-3}{6}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$ , thus

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + b ← is the partial equation

To find b substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 2, 0 ), then

0 = 1 + b ⇒ b = 0 - 1 = - 1

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 1 ← in slope- intercept form
