Answer:
Its -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−12−4x+3=−1
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−12−4x+3=−1
−12+−4x+3=−1
(−4x)+(−12+3)=−1(Combine Like Terms)
−4x+−9=−1
−4x−9=−1
Step 2: Add 9 to both sides.
−4x−9+9=−1+9
−4x=8
Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x
−4
=
8
−4
x=−2
...6 and 10 are roots, so x – 6 and x – 10 are factors.
y = a(x – 6)(x – 10).....plug in the point (8, 2) and solve for a:
2 = a(8 – 6)(8 – 10)
2 = –4a
a = –1/2
...y = (–1/2)(x – 6)(x – 10)
...y = (–1/2)(x² – 16x + 60)
...y = (–x²/2) + 8x – 30 <<<------Answer, or:
...y = (–1/2)(x – 8)² + 2 <<<------Answer
Triangle area formula: base*height/2
so, 14*10/2 = 7*10 = 70 sq. in.
