What are the roots of the equation x^2+3x-18=0

First you open 2 parenthesis with x in each one:

(x )(x )=0

Then, you place the sign of the second term (the x term) in the first parenthesis.

(x+ )(x )=0

Next, you multiply the signs of the x term and the sign of the constant (the third term).
Since + × - = -, then you place a -.

(x+ )(x- )=0

You look at the constant (-18) and the second term (3). What two numbers multiplied give you -18 but subtracted (since the signs inside the parenthesis are opposite) give you 3? Those numbers are 6 and 3.
Since the result of the substraction need to be 3, you place the 6 with the + sign and the 3 with the negative sign (if you think of it, 6-3=3 but 3-6 = -3. That's the reason behind placing the numbers)

(x+6)(x-3)=0

Therefore,

x+6=0 or x-3=0

x=-6 or x=3

Your roots are -6 and 3.

If g(x) = 3 - 2x, find g(-1).<br> A. -5<br> B. 5<br> C. 0<br> D. 6
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

g(-1)=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put value of x, which is - 1

g(x) = 3 - 2x \\ g( - 1) = 3 - 2( - 1) \\ g( - 1) = 3 + 2 \\ g( - 1) = 5

PLEASE ANSWER FAST I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
ANTONII [103]

Answer: 10 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the shape along the y-axis to get 2 separate triangles. If we find the area of each and add them up, we can get the total area of the figure.

We can get each triangle's area using the formula A = \frac{1}{2}bh

<h3>Left Triangle</h3>

base length - 4 units

height - 4 units

A = \frac{1}{2}(4)(4)

A=\frac{1}{2}(16)

A =8\hspace{0.1cm}units^2

<h3>Right Triangle</h3>

base length - 2 units

height - 2 units

A = \frac{1}{2}(2)(2)

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)

A=2\hspace{0.1cm}units^2

Total = 8 units² + 2 units² = 10 units²
