Answer:

y = -2x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y + 1 = -2 (x + 2)

y + 1 = -2x -4

y = -2x -5

Maria walked 3 km west and 4 km south calculate how far she is from her starting point.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the distances walked by Maria;

3 km west and 4 km south

We are required to determine the displacement from her starting point;

We are going to use Pythagoras's theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Taking, the distances towards south and towards west as the legs of the triangle;

Then, c² = 3² + 4²

= 25

c = √25

= 5 km

Therefore, the displacement from the starting point is 5 km

Without using a calculator, determine the number of real zeros of the function

kumpel [21]

The number of real zeros of the function f(x) = x3 + 4x2 + x − 6 is 3

<h3>How to determine the number of real zeros?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as:

$f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6$

Expand the function

$f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 - x^2 + 6x - 5x - 6$

Reorder the terms

$f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x - x^2 - 5x - 6$

Factor the expression

$f(x) = x(x^2 + 5x + 6) -1(x^2 + 5x + 6)$

Factor out x -1

$f(x) = (x^2 + 5x + 6)(x -1)$

Expand

$f(x) = (x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6)(x -1)$

Factorize

$f(x) = [x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)](x - 1)$

Factor out x + 2

$f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x- 1)$

The function has been completely factored and it has 3 linear factors

Hence, the number of real zeros of the function f(x) = x3 + 4x2 + x − 6 is 3
