Answer:
Option A is correct, i.e. x = -3, x = 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation is x² -4x -21 = 0.
We can compare it with general quadratic equation i.e. ax² +bx +c =0.
then a = 1, b = -4, c = -21.
We can use Quadratic formula as follows:-
x = ( -b ± √(b²-4ac) )/2a
x = ( +4 ± √(16-4*1*-21) )/2*1
x = ( +4 ± √(16+84) )/2
x = ( +4 ± √(100) )/2
x = ( +4 ± 10 )/2
x = (4+10)/2 or x = (4-10)/2
x = 14/2 or x = -6/2
x = 7 or x = -3
Hence, option A is correct, i.e. x = -3, x = 7.
Answer:
43/40x^3-5x^5+2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following variables:
t: time in seconds.
f (t): height as a function of time.
By the time Grace reaches the pool, the height is equal to zero.
We have the following table:
Time (t) (in seconds) Height f(t) (in meters)
1 25
2 20
3 15
4 0
We observe that the height is equal to zero after 4 seconds.
Equivalently:
Answer:
the following represents the x-intercept of f(t):
Grace reaches the swimming pool after 4 seconds
