<u>ANSWER:  </u>

x-intercepts of  \mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, f(x)=x^{2}+12 x+24 -- eqn 1

x-intercepts of the function are the points where function touches the x-axis, which means they are zeroes of the function.

Now, let us find the zeroes using quadratic formula for f(x) = 0.

X=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Here, for (1) a = 1, b= 12 and c = 24

X=\frac{-(12) \pm \sqrt{(12)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 24}}{2 \times 1}

\begin{array}{l}{X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144-96}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 3}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm 4 \sqrt{3}}{2}} \\ {X=\frac{2(-6+2 \sqrt{3})}{2}, \frac{2(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}{2}} \\\\ {X=(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}\end{array}

Hence the x-intercepts of  \mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})

Divide € 165 into the ratio 1:2:12
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

11 : 22 : 132

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + 2 + 12 = 15

165 ÷ 15 = 11

1 × 11 = 11

2 × 11 = 22

12 × 11 = 132
