<em>Answer:</em>
<em />
<em>x³ + x² - 6x = 0</em>
<em>x(x² + x - 6) = 0</em>
<em>x(x² + 3x - 2x - 6) = 0</em>
<em>x[x(x + 3) - 2(x + 3)] = 0</em>
<em>x(x - 2)(x + 3) = 0</em>
<em>x₁ = 0</em>
<em>x - 2 = 0 => x₂ = 2</em>
<em>x + 3 = 0 => x₃ = - 3</em>
Given
gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.
Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.
To proof
gas prices now = $3.75
let the gas price 6 month ago = x
gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago
First write 10% in simpler form
= 0.1
Now the equation becomes
0.1x + x = 3.75
1.1x = 3.75
x = 3.41 (approx)
Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )
Hence proved
First write the equation in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as <em>y = mx + b</em> form where the <em>m </em>or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the <em>b</em> or the constant term represents the y-intercept.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get <em>y = -2x - 4</em>.
I put the x term first because that's how it is in y = mx + b form.
Now we can see that the <em>b</em> or the constant term is -4.
We can write this as the ordered pair (0, -4).
Keep in mind when writing a y-intercept as an ordered pair, your x-coordinate will always be 0 in the ordered pair.
