Factors are (3x + 5) and (x - 2). Zeros are -5/3 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given quadratic equation 3x² - x = 10 ⇒ 3x² - x - 10 = 0

Step 2: Use factoring method (product and sum rule) to find factors and zeros. So the equation can be written as below.

⇒ 3x² - 6x + 5x - 10 = 0

⇒ 3x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2) = 0

⇒ (3x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 These are the factors of the equation.

Step 3: Find zeros by equating the factors to 0.

⇒ 3x + 5 = 0 and x - 2 = 0

⇒ x = -5/3 and 2

A circle has the equation x^2+y^2+x-6y+9=0. Find the center and any x or y intercepts.

Softa [21]

We know:x^2+y^2+x−6y+9=0So, we complete the square as such:x^2+y^2+x−6y+9=x^2+x+y^2−6y+9=(x+1/2)^2+(y−3)^2=(1/2)^2=1/4

10 points someone help me please!?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{b=\sqrt{95}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pyhagorean theorem:

$leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$

We have

$leg=b,\ leg=7,\ hypotenuse=12$

Substitute:

$b^2+7^2=12^2$

$b^2+49=144$ <em>subtract 49 from both sides</em>

$b^2=95\to b=\sqrt{95}$

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (7, 8) and (-7, 1). Show your work.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The rule of the slope passing through 2 points is:

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

∵ The points are (7 , 8) and (-7 , 1)

∴ m = $\frac{1-8}{-7-7}=\frac{-7}{-14}=\frac{1}{2}$
