Answer:

(3,-2) not given in the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The points may be determined by solving the quadratic equation. This can be done through the factorization method with y equated to 0.

It means that

x^2 - x - 6 = 0

x^2 - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) +2 (x - 3) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

x = 3 or -2

The answer is (-2, -1), because when substituted in the expression is correct:
-1 < 4 - -2 - 6
-1 < 6 - 6
-1 < 0

I hope this helps!

When using bits to represent fractions of a number, can you create all possible fractions?.

mafiozo [28]

Every rational number has a base-2 representation, but only the ones with denominators that are powers of 2 will require a finite number of bits to fully represent it.

For example,

$\dfrac12 = 1\cdot2^{-1} = 0.1_2$

$\dfrac14 = 1\cdot2^{-2} = 0.01_2$

$\dfrac34 = \dfrac12 + \dfrac14 = 0.11_2$

$\dfrac{1023}{1024} = 1 - \dfrac1{2^{10}} = 1_2 - 0.0000000001_2 = 0.1111111111_2$

whereas a number whose denominator contains anything else like 1/3 will need an infinite number of bits to represent it exactly.

$\dfrac13 = \dfrac1{2^2} + \dfrac1{12} = \dfrac1{2^2} + \dfrac1{2^4} + \dfrac1{48} = \dfrac1{2^2} + \dfrac1{2^4} + \dfrac1{2^8} + \dfrac1{192}$

and so on, so that it has a repeating but non-terminating base-2 representation

$\dfrac13 = 0.010101\ldots_2$

Convert y + 3 = -3(x + 5) to standard form.

emmasim [6.3K]

Hi there!

$y + 3 = - 3(x + 5)$
First we need to work out the parenthesis, which can for instance be done using rainbow technique.

$y + 3 = - 3x - 15$
Now subtract 3 from both sides.

$y = - 3x - 18$
And finally add 3x to both sides.

$3x + y = - 18$
The 4th answer choice is correct.
