<h3>Answer:  x = -2 or x = 7  (choice D)</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

x^2 - 5x = 14

x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0

(x-7)(x+2) = 0 .... this step is further explained below

x-7 = 0 or x+2 = 0

x = 7 or x = -2

The order of the solutions does not matter.

-------------------------

To factor x^2-5x-14, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -14 and add to -5. This is done through trial and error. I recommend making a table to help organize everything. See the diagram below.

After a bit of guess work, you should find that -7 and 2 are the two values we're after

-7 + 2 = -5

-7 * 2 = -14

This is why x^2-5x-14 = (x-7)(x+2)

The point (2, –4) is reflected across the line y = –1. What are the coordinates of the image?
schepotkina [342]

ANSWER

The coordinates of the image are (2,2)

EXPLANATION

The mapping for a reflection across the line y=k is :

(x,y)\to (x,2k-y)

We want to find the image of the point (2,-4) after a reflection in the line y=-1.

In this case k=-1.

(2, - 4)\to (2,2( - 1)- - 4)

This simplifies to,

(2, - 4)\to (2, - 2 + 4)

(2, - 4)\to (2, 2)

Hence the image is (2,2)

Which of the following is a solution of x² + 14x + 112 = 0? If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
Readme [11.4K]
To determine the solution of the quadratic equation, use the quadratic formula which states that,
                                x = ((-b  +/- sqrt (b² - 4ac)) / 2a
From the equation, a = 1, b = 14, and c = 112. Substituting these to the quadratic formula,
                               x = <span>((-14  +/- sqrt (14² - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1) = indeterminate
Thus, the equation does not a real number solution. </span>
