Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are SOLUTIONS to a quadratic whereas when you put those solutions into factor form (in a set of parenthesis), you have the FACTORS of the quadratic.  They are the same thing generally, they are just written in different forms.  For example, if a solution to a quadratic is x = 3, it has been understood that x = 3 when y = 0. Therefore, if x - 3 = y and y = 0, then x - 3 = 0.  Solving that for x, you get x = 3.  That factor of x = 3 is (x - 3).

Following that logic, for a:

If the x intercepts are x = 0 and x = 3, it is understood that x + 0 = 0 so x = 0 and the factor is (x + 0) (it could also be x - 0 since adding 0 is the same as subtracting 0); if x = 3 it is understood that x - 3 = 0 and the factor is (x - 3).

For b:

If the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 1, then originally the factors were (x + 1) and (x - 1).  Again, set each of those equal to 0 and solve for x (THE X-INTERCEPT EXISTS WHERE Y = 0!)

For c:

If the x-intercepts are x = -5 and x = 10, then originally the factors were (x + 5) and (x - 10).

For d:

If the x-intercept is a fraction, do the same thing:

x = 1/2 so

x - 1/2 = 0 Now multiply both the x and the 1/2 by a 2 to get the factor (2x - 1) and the other factor from x = 4 is (x - 4)

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

One side is 60 so the other side is 60

X=20

Show the work of 6.2 +3.4
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are adding decimals we try 2 add them like normal integers, but in the end we add the decimal in the same place as it was in the beginning

so 62+34=96 and there's a decimal in the tenths place so its 9.6
