Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2)?

The quadratic equation is in factored form, which is f(x) = (x - a)(x - b), where a and b are the x-values for the x-intercepts.

The x-values for the x-intercepts are 4 and -2. We know that the y-value at any x-intercept must be 0 (otherwise it isn't an x-intercept).

Thus, either the points (4,0) or (-2,0) must be your answer (the question is only asking for one x-intercept).

Lara has three cats: Socks, Princess, and Luna. The ratio of Sock's weight to Princess's weight is 4:5. The ratio of Princess's

romanna [79]

A = Sock's weight
b = Princess' weight
c = Luna's weight

a : b = 4 : 5
b : c = 6 : 7

at this point, we have to change the 2 ratios (a : b and b : c) into one ratio (a : b : c)
to do that, we have to change the ratio number so the number b in both ratio is the same

a : b = 4 : 5 = 24 : 30
b : c = 6 : 7 = 30 : 35
From that we can conclude that
a : b : c = 24 : 30 : 35

Since we're looking for the ratio of Sock's weight to Luna's weight, it will be
a : c = 24 : 35
