How to find the zeros of f(x)=5(2x-5)(5x+4)

If xy=0 we assume x and y equal 0

so

the zeros are wehre f(x)=0
0=5(2x-5)(5x+4)
set each to zero
5 is not equal 0 so we don't do that

0=2x-5
5=2x
5/2=x

0=5x+4
-4=5x
-4/5=x

zeroes at x=5/2 and -4/5

5(2x-5)(5x+4) = 0

2x-5 = 0
2x = 5
x = 5/2 (Answer)

5x+4 = 0
5x = -4
x = -4/5 (Answer)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the following line:<br> (-14.1) and (13,-2)

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{9}x-\frac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-14,1)(13,-2)$

Use the slope-intercept formula:

$y=mx+b$

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Use the slope formula first:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{rise}{run}$

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Plug in the coordinates:

$(-14(x_{1}),1(y_{1}))\\(13(x_{2}),-2(y_{2}))$

$\frac{-2-1}{13-(-14)}$

Simplify parentheses (two negatives makes a positive):

$\frac{-2-1}{13+14}$

Simplify:

$\frac{-3}{27} =-\frac{3}{27}=-\frac{1}{9}$

The slope is $-\frac{1}{9}$ . Insert into the equation:

$y=-\frac{1}{9}x +b$

Now, to find the y-intercept, take one of the points and substitute for the x and y values of the equation:

$(13,-2)\\-2=-\frac{1}{9} (13)+b$

Solve for b, the y-intercept. Simplify parentheses:

$-\frac{1}{9}*\frac{13}{1}=-\frac{13}{9}$

$-2=-\frac{13}{9} +b$

Add $-\frac{13}{9}$ to both sides:

$-2+\frac{13}{9}=-\frac{13}{9} +\frac{13}{9} +b\\\\-2+\frac{13}{9} =b$

Simplify:

$-\frac{2}{1} +\frac{13}{9}\\\\-\frac{18}{9}+\frac{13}{9}\\ \\b=-\frac{5}{9}$

The y-intercept is $-\frac{5}{9}$ . Insert this into the equation:

$y=-\frac{1}{9} x-\frac{5}{9}$

Finito.

A construction elevator can carry at most 2,320 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 195 pounds and each palette of roofing m

zvonat [6]

The maximum number of palettes that the elevator can carry in one trip is 5.

425 times 5= 2,125+ 195= 2,320

Hope this helps!! :-)
