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!

How to find if an equation is parallel perpendicular or neither?
iren [92.7K]
Look at the gradient of both the equations (the x multiplier, usually known as m), and there are a couple of rules:

Parallel: The gradients are identical
Perpendicular: Look at the gradients as fractions. To get the perpendicular to a gradient you flip the fraction and change the sign. If this is the case for the two gradients, then they are perpendicular.

2(x+7)+3(x+1) what is the answer
barxatty [35]

Answer:

5x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we must first simplify:

2 (x + 7) + 3 (x + 1) = 2x + 14 + 3x + 3

Then, we have to combine like terms:

2x + 14 + 3x + 3 = 5x + 17

And there is our answer, 5x + 17

Hope this helps ! :)

a store sells for 25% off the regular price the regular price of a beach towel is 24.50 which expression represents the scale pr
UNO [17]

24.5 \times 1.25 = 30.625
Since you're adding on to the regular price, you can say it is 125% of the price. Or you can use the regular equation:
(24.5 \times .25) + 24.5 = 30.625
Since you're only finding 25% of 24.5, you have to add on 24.5 because you're paying for the beach towel and applying the sales tax.

Now, since cents are to the hundredths place, you have to round.
The final price would be $30.63
