Answer: The required zero of the given function is x = -1.4.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find all the real zeroes of the following function :

$y=-5x-7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Since the given function is linear, so it will have only one real zero.

Also, the zeroes of a function y = f(x) is given by f(x) = 0.

So, the zero of the given function (i) is

$y=0\\\\\Rightarrow -5x-7=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=-7\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{7}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow x=-1.4.$

Thus, the required zero of the given function is x = -1.4.

Find the distance between the points (5, -5) and (-7,4).

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 15 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

$d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} } \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(5, -5) and (-7,4)

The distance between them is

$d = \sqrt{ ({5 + 7})^{2} + ({ - 5 - 4})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {12}^{2} + ( { - 9})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{144 + 81} \\ = \sqrt{225} \\ = 15 \: \: \: \: \: \:$

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 units</h3>

At total of 2 feet of snow falls over three days on the first day 1/6 of the snow falls on the second day 7/12 of the snow falls

ioda

Answer:

$Day\ 3 = 1\frac{3}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total = 2ft$

$Day\ 1 = \frac{1}{6}$

$Day\ 2 = \frac{7}{12}$

Required

Determine the amount of snow on day 3

This can be calculated using:

$Day\ 1 + Day\ 2 + Day\ 3 = Total$

Substitute values for the known parameters

$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{7}{12} + Day\ 3 = 2$

Collect Like Terms

$Day\ 3 = 2 - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{7}{12}$

Take LCM

$Day\ 3 = \frac{24 - 2 - 7}{12}$

$Day\ 3 = \frac{15}{12}$

Express as mixed number

$Day\ 3 = 1\frac{3}{12}$

-5x - 35= -15<br> -5x = 25<br> X =

Zigmanuir [339]

X= -5 because you divide -5x by -5 to get x alone so you have to 25/-5 which is -5
