What multiplies to negative 24 and adds to 2

Mathematics

exis [7]3 years ago

Let us assume the two numbers to be "x" and "y".
Then
xy = - 24
x = - (24/y)
And
x + y = 2
Putting the value of x from the first equation in the second equation, we get
x + y = 2
- (24/y) + y = 2
- 24 + y^2 = 2y
y^2 - 2y - 24 = 0
y^2 - 6y + 4y - 24 = 0
y(y - 6) + 4(y - 6) = 0
(y - 6) (y + 4) = 0
When
y - 6 = 0
y = 6
Then
x + y = 2
x + 6 = 2
x = 2 - 6
   = -4
And when
y + 4 = 0
y = -4
Then
x + y = 2
x - 4 = 2
x = 2 + 4
   = 6
So the two unknown numbers are -4 and 6.

Each of these statements are part of True/False game. Which statement is correct?
sergey [27]

Answer:

E. (The function is exponetial)

Step-by-step explanation:

We look at the output values and subtract them from their previous value to see it's slope.

6-2 = 4

12-6 = 6

4 ≠ 6, meaning that the slope is not constant.

4 < 6, meaning that the slope is increasing, meaning the function is exponential.

F(x) = -7x2 + 9x - 15 and g(x) = -12x2 – 15x + 7
djyliett [7]

Answer:

{5x}^{2}  + 6x =  - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking you to insert two equations, f(x) and g(x), into the equation g(x) - f(x). This will lead to the equation below.

{ - 12x}^{2}  - 15x + 7 - ({ - 7)x}^{2}  + 9x - 15

Now we can solve for the equation.

{ - 5x}^{2}  - 6x - 8 = 0 \\   {5x}^{2}  + 6x =  - 8
