4x+12=-8

First, you subtract 12.

4x+12=-8

-12 -12

4x=-20

The you divide 4.

4x=-20

/4 /4

x=-5

Option D: $f(x)=-2(x+2)(x-4)$ is the function

Explanation:

Let the general form of quadratic equation be $y=a x^{2}+b x+c$

The function passes through the intercepts $(-2,0)$ and $(4,0)$ and also passes though the point $(-1,10)$

Substituting the points $(-2,0)$ , $(4,0)$ and $(-1,10)$ in the equation $y=a x^{2}+b x+c$ , we get,

$4a -2b+c=0$ -----------(1)

$16a +4b+c=0$ ----------(2)

$a-b+c=10$ -----------(3)

Subtracting (1) and (2), we get,

$\ \ 4a -2b+c=0\\ 16a +4b+c=0\\\---------\\ \ \ -12a-6b=0$ -----------(4)

Subtracting (2) and (3), we get,

$16a +4b+c=0\\\ \ a \ \ - \ \ b \ +c=10\\---------\\15a+5b=-10$ ------------(5)

Multiplying equation (4) by 5 and equation (5) by 4, to cancel the term b when adding, we get,

$-60a-30b=0\\\ 90a+30b=-60\\--------\\30a=-60\\\ \ a=-2$

Thus, the value of a is $a=-2$

Substituting $a=-2$ in equation (4), we get,

$\begin{aligned}-12 a+6 b &=0 \\-12(-2)-6 b &=0 \\ 24-6 b &=0 \\ 24 &=6 b \\ 4 &=b \end{aligned}$

Thus, the value of b is $b=4$

Now, substituting the value of a and b in equation (1), we have,

$\begin{aligned} 4 a-2 b+c &=0 \\ 4(-2)-2(4)+c &=0 \\-8-8+c &=0 \\ c &=16 \end{aligned}$

Thus, the value of c is $c=16$

Now, substituting the value of a,b and c in the general formula $y=a x^{2}+b x+c$ , we get,

$y=-2x^{2} +4x+16$

Taking out the common term as -2 we get,

$y=-2(x^{2} -2x-8)$

Factoring , we get,

$y=-2(x+2)(x-4)$

Thus, the function is $f(x)=-2(x+2)(x-4)$

In a trapezoid the lengths of bases are 11 and 18. The lengths of legs are 3 and 7. The extensions of the legs meet at some poin

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: $7\frac{5}{7}$ unit and 18 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD is a trapezoid where AB and CD are the bases. ( In which AB is greatest base which shown in below figure)

AD and BC are the legs of the trapezoid ABCD.

Now, we have ( According to the question ),

AB = 18 unit, BC = 7 unit, AD = 3 unit and DC = 11 unit.

Here the leg AD extends from point D.

Similarly leg BC extends from point C.

Let they meet at point P ( shown in below diagram)

Since In triangles PAB and PDC,

∠PDC ≅ ∠PAB ( because DC ║ AB )

And, ∠ PAB ≅ ∠ PBA

∠DPC ≅ ∠ APB ( reflexive)

Therefore, By AAA similarity postulate,

$\triangle PDC \sim \triangle PAB$

Thus, By the definition of similarity,

$\frac{PD}{PA} = \frac{DC}{AB}$

$\frac{PD}{PD+3} = \frac{11}{18}$ ( because PA = PD+DA)

⇒ 18 PD = 11 PD +33

⇒7PD = 33

⇒ PD = 33/7

Again by the definition of similarity,

$\frac{PC}{PB} = \frac{DC}{AB}$

$\frac{PC}{PC+7} = \frac{11}{18}$ ( because PB = PC + CB)

⇒ 18 PC = 11 PD +77

⇒7PC = 77

⇒ PC = 11

Thus, PA = PD+DA = 33/7 + 3 = $7\frac{5}{7}$

And, PB = PC + CB = 11 + 7 = 18
