The function is:
f ( x ) = x² - x - 72
This is a quatdratic function. So we can find the zeroes of the function with the formula:
x 1/2 = ( - b +/- √(b² - 4 ac) ) / ( 2a )
And we have: a = 1, b = - 1 and c = - 72
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √((-1)² - 4 · 1· ( - 72 )) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √( 1 + 288 ) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √289 ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- 17 ) / 2
x 1 = ( 1 - 17 ) 2 = - 16 / 2 = - 8
x 2 = ( 1 + 17 ) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9
Answer: The zeroes are - 8 and 9.
6.8 x 10^13 = 68,000,000,000,000
9.46 x10 ^12 = 9,460,000,000,000
6.8 x 10^13 * 1 light year / 9.46 x 10^12 = 7.188 light years.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x, and we have equation:</u>
- 16x + 2 = -7x - 21
- 16x + 7x = - 21 - 2
- 23x = - 23
- x = -1
The number is -1
Answer: The mean is 3780
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean is found by adding all values and dividing the sum by how many values were added.
4250+4019+3895+3739+3401+3376=22680
22680/6=3780
