Given the function ƒ(x) = x 2 - 4x - 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
nordsb [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Zeros of the given function are x=5 and x=-1.

Step-by-step explanation:


f(x)=x^2-4x-5

f(x)=x^2+1x-5x-5

f(x)=x(x+1)-5(x+1)

f(x)=(x-5)(x+1)

To find zeros, we need to set f(x)=0

0=(x-5)(x+1)

0=(x-5) or 0=(x+1)

0=x-5 or 0=x+1

5=x or -1=x


Hence zeros of the given function are x=5 and x=-1.


We can plug some random numbers like x=0,1,2,... into given function to find few points then graph those points and join them by a curved line.

That will give the final graph as attached below:

for x=0,

f(x)=x^2-4x-5

f(0)=0^2-4(0)-5

f(0)=0-0-5

f(0)=-5

Hence first point is (0,-5)

Similarly we can find more points.

Thee population of a town, P(t), is 2000 in the year 2010. Every year, it increases by 1.5%. Write an equation for the populatio
steposvetlana [31]

Given:

In 2010, the population of a town = 2000

Every year, it increase by 1.5%

To find the equation P(t) which represents the population of this town t years from 2010.

Formula

If a be the original population of a town and it increases by b% every year, after t year the population will be

a (1+\frac{b}{100} )^{t}

Now,

Taking, a  =2000, b = 1.5 we get,

P(t) = 2000(1+\frac{1.5}{100} )^{t}

or, P(t) = 2000(1+0.015)^{t}

Hence,

The population of this town t years from 2010 P(t) = 2000(1+0.015)^{t}, Option D.
