Answer:
XY = 8 and YZ = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
If XY and YZ are on the one line, we can write
XY + YZ = 28
(2x+2) + (9x - 7) = 28
2x+2 + 9x - 7 = 28
11x - 5 = 28
11x = 33
x = 3
XY = 2x+2 = 2*3 + 2 = 8
YZ = 9x - 7 = 9*3 - 7 = 27 - 7 = 20
What is it supposed to go from
Hello there!
This is a conceptual question about quadratic functions.
Remember that a solution of ANY function is where it intersects the x-axis, so if the quadratic function intersects the x-axis TWO times, this means that there are TWO real solutions.
Here's a list of things to remember that will help you out for quadratic functions...
•if a quadratic function intersects the x-axis twice, it has two real solutions.
•if a quadratic function intersects the x-axis once, it has one real solution and one imaginary solution.
•if a quadratic function intersects the x-axis zero times, it has zero deal solutions and two imaginary solutions.
Please NOTE: If you want to know how many solutions a polynomial function has, look at it's highest exponent. If it is 2, then it has 2 solutions whether they be real or imaginary. If it is 3, then it has 3 solutions.
Also, if one of the factors are the same for a polynomial function, the way it hits the x-axis changes! This is just some extra information to help you in the long run!
I hope this helps!
Best wishes :)
