3 0
Example 1 – Solve: 3x3 = 12x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

 3x^3-12=0

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

 3x(x^2-4)=0
3x(x+2)(x-2)=0

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

 3x=0 or x+2=0 or x-2=0

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

 x=0 or x=-2 or x=


I hope this helped you!

A frame designer is making a triangular frame. She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches. What are the possible length
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For the above question, we have a rule, the sum of the length of any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Hence:

She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches

Let the third side = x

Hence:

a) 18 + 27 > x

45 > x

b) 18 + x > 27

x > 27 - 18

x > 9

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Which equation is a function of x? x = 5 x = y squared 9 x squared = y x squared = y squared 16
natita [175]

The equation which is a function of x is x²=y.

Given an equation that is a function of x.

A function may be a relation between a collection of inputs and a collection of permissible outputs with the property that every input is said to precisely one output.

If we input a value of x then we get the output f(x) = y, which is the function of x.

We are given four options out of which we are to pick the one which may be a function of 'x'.

The first option is x=5 in which no term of y is included and its a constant. So, option 1 is not correct.

The second option is x=y²+9 in which y contains a power 2. So, option 2 is not correct.

The third option is x²=y in which y contains power 1. So, option 3 is correct.

The fourth option is x²=y²+16 in which y contains a power 2. So, option 3 is not correct.

Hence, the equation which is a function of x is x²=y.
