Solve for x -x2+3x+4=0

So for this, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -4x² and a sum of 3x? That would be -x and 4x. Replace 3x with -x + 4x:

-x^2-x+4x+4=0

Next, factor -x² - x and 4x + 4 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses:

-x(x+1)+4(x+1)=0

Now you can rewrite the equation as (-x+4)(x+1)=0

Now, apply the Zero Product Property to solve for x as such:

-x+4=0\\-x=-4\\x=4\\\\x+1=0\\x=-1

<u>Your final answer is D. x = -1 and x = 4.</u>

The correct answer is D) x = 4 and x = -1

In order to solve this, we plug into the quadratic equation.

x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

In this case, a is the coefficient of x^2 (-1), b is the coefficient of x (3) and c is the constant (4). Now we plug in and solve.

x =  \frac{-(3) +/- \sqrt{3^{2} - 4(-1)(4) } }{2(-1)}

x =  \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{9 + 16 } }{-2}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{25 } }{-2}

x =  \frac{-3 +/- 5 } }{-2}

And then we'll split into the two possible answers.

(-3 + -5)/-2 = -8/-2 = 4

(-3 - -5)/-2 = 2/-2 = -1

The equation (x + 6)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 36 models the position and range of the source of a radio signal. Describe the position of
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

position: (-6, -4)

range: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is that of a circle centered at (-6, -4) with a radius of √36 = 6. We presume that the "position" is that of the circle's center, and the "range" is the radius of the circle.

___

The standard form equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is ...

(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

Matching parts of the equation, we find ...

h = -6, k = -4, r = √36 = 6.

Think of a problem dealing with two possibly related variables (Y and X) that you may be interested in. Share your problem and d
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the variables height and weight.

It is usually seen that taller people are heavier than shorter people.

So a regression analysis can be used to specify this belief.

The statistical questions that are being asked here are:

  • What the independent and dependent variables?
  • Are there any other factor influencing the dependent variable other than the independent variable?

The variable <em>Y</em> is considered as the dependent variable and the variable <em>Y</em> is considered as the independent variable.  And the main purpose of the regression analysis is to predict the value of <em>Y</em> when the value of <em>X</em> is given.

The linear regression model can be used to predict the past and future value of the dependent variables provided that the independent variables for those times are provided.
