Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-9=12
add 9 to both sides
3x=21
divide both sides by 3
x=7
Answer:
a. a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
a. x-ints at 7 and -2
this means that our quadratic equation must factor to:

FOIL:

Simplify:

a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. one x-int at 3
this means that the equation will factor to:

FOIL:

Simplify:

a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. no x-int and negative y must be less than 0
This means that our vertex must be below the x-axis and our parabola must point down
There are many equations for this, but one could be:

a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. one positive x-int, one negative x-int
We can use any x-intercepts, so let's just use -1 and 1
The equation will factor to:

This is a perfect square
FOIL:

a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. x-int at 
our equation will factor to:

This is also a perfect square
FOIL and you will get:

a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
do you mean less than or equal to
x/3<= -6 x 3
x<= -18
Answer: Neither
The function is not even because it doesn't have y axis symmetry. In other words, reflecting it over the vertical y axis means it doesn't line up with itself. The left half is different from the right half.
The function isn't odd either. Why not? Because rotating it 180 degrees around the origin has the function curve looking completely different. A point like (3,6) will rotate to (-3,-6) which is not on the orange curve. This is just one counter-example as to why the function is not odd.
