rearrange the equation to where you set it equal to 0 by moving the 25 over.
n2 - 8n -9 = 0
now factor
(n-9)(n+1)
so n1 = 9
n2 = -1
Answer:
<u> 105</u> students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5.
Now, to find number of students prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Let the students prefer pineapple be 
And the students prefer kiwi be 
Total students = 357.
So, we set an equation to get the number of students who prefer kiwi.
According to question:


<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>

<em>Thus, students prefer kiwi are:</em>


Therefore, 105 students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
The functional equation of the line is f (x)=a*x+b
you have already a: -4 -->f (x)=-4 x+b
Now you can use the point (3;-3)
3 is the x-coordinate and -3 the f (x)-coordinate
--> -3 = -4*(3) + b Now you can solve it
-3 = -12+b (+12)
b = 9
ANSWER: f (x) = -4x + 9
