The equation of a line is y = mx + b. Calculate the slope (m) from the 2 points.

m = (-2-2)/(-4-4) = -4/-8 = 1/2

We could stop here as only one answer has a slope of 1/2, namely A). But if you wanted to show that the y-intercept (b) was 0, you could use either of the points and substitute it into the equation of the line and solve for b.

(-4,-2):
-2 = 1/2(-4) + b
-2 = -2 + b
0 = b

(4,2):
2 = 1/2(4) + b
2 = 2 + b
0 = b

Identify the x-intercepts of the function below f(x)=x^2+12x+24

damaskus [11]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

x-intercepts of $\mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})$

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, $f(x)=x^{2}+12 x+24$ -- eqn 1

x-intercepts of the function are the points where function touches the x-axis, which means they are zeroes of the function.

Now, let us find the zeroes using quadratic formula for f(x) = 0.

$X=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Here, for (1) a = 1, b= 12 and c = 24

$X=\frac{-(12) \pm \sqrt{(12)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 24}}{2 \times 1}$

$\begin{array}{l}{X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144-96}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 3}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm 4 \sqrt{3}}{2}} \\ {X=\frac{2(-6+2 \sqrt{3})}{2}, \frac{2(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}{2}} \\\\ {X=(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}\end{array}$

Hence the x-intercepts of $\mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})$

Answer:

Equation: x + (x+ 1) = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two consecutive integers.

Let them be labeled as x and x + 1

We want x + (x + 1) = 67

x is the smaller number

x + 1 is the largest

We can solve for x.

x + (x + 1) = 2x + 1 = 67

2x = 66

x = 33

The largest integer is 34

Jen has collected information about the students in her class and the month they were born.

IrinaVladis [17]

The true statement about this information is that: A. It is both a relation and a function.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function can be defined as a mathematical expression which can be used to define and represent the relationship that exist between two or more variables in a population.

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that the true statement about this information collected by Jen is that it's both a relation and a function because it indicates a relationship between two variables.
