Answer:

a) -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Zero of a function is the x-value where y = 0

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

x² + 3x - x - 3 = 0

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

(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

x = 1, -3

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, if we plug in any of the given choices into the function and we get 0, then that's our answer.

A) (-3)^2 + 2 * (-3) - 3 = 9 - 6 - 3 = 0  -  correct

B) (-1)^2 + 2 * (-1) - 3 = 1 - 2 - 3 = -4  -  incorrect

C) 0^2 + 2 * 0 - 3 = -3  -  incorrect

D) 2^2 + 2 * 2 - 3 = 4 + 4 - 3 = 5  -  incorrect

So, the answer is A.

The alternative, more "formal" way of doing this problem is to factor the quadratic: x^2 + 2x - 3 = (x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Then set each of these equal to 0: x + 3 = 0 and x - 1 = 0

We get the values of x = -3 and x = 1. Only -3 is one of the answer choices, so A is correct.

Hope this helps!

3√5

The distance between two points on an XY plane is calculated using the distance formula, which is employed in coordinate geometry or Euclidean geometry. The x-coordinate, often known as the abscissa, is a point's separation from the y-axis. The y-coordinate, often known as the ordinate, refers to a point's separation from the x-axis. A point on the x-axis has coordinates of the form (x, 0), and a point on the y-axis has coordinates of the form (0, y). We utilize the Pythagoras theorem in this case to determine the separation between any two points in a plane.

Distance formula = √ ( x₁ - x₂)² + ( y₁ - y₂)²

                                = √ 6² + 3²

                                =3√5

Brenda took out a personal loan for $12,000 at an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly. She made arrangements to pay the loan
iragen [17]

Answer: her monthly payments would be $267

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the periodic interest rate formula which is expressed as

P = a/[{(1+r)^n]-1}/{r(1+r)^n}]

Where

P represents the monthly payments.

a represents the amount of the loan

r represents the annual rate.

n represents number of monthly payments. Therefore

a = $12000

r = 0.12/12 = 0.01

n = 12 × 5 = 60

Therefore,

P = 12000/[{(1+0.01)^60]-1}/{0.01(1+0.01)^60}]

12000/[{(1.01)^60]-1}/{0.01(1.01)^60}]

P = 12000/{1.817 -1}/[0.01(1.817)]

P = 12000/(0.817/0.01817)

P = 12000/44.96

P = $267
