Answer:
It is called the constant ratio.
Answer:
<h2>P(x) = (x+3)(x-2)^2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the brackets you can see where the curve will intersect the x-axis.
The graph shows the curve intersecting at (0,-3) and (0,2).
This means:
x = -3
AND
x = 2
Rearrange the equations, equating them to 0.
x + 3 = 0
x - 2 = 0
This will be the values in the brackets.
Because the curve only touches 0,2 and DOES NOT cross it, we know that x - 2 is a repeated root, hence (x-2) is squared.
Therefore your brackets are: (x+3)(x-2)(x-2)
Which can be simplified:
(x+3)(x-2)^2
Where ^2 means squared.
2x - 3y = -24
x+ 6y = 18
you solve the first one by the x:
2x = -24 + 3y
x = (-24+3y)/2
then you substitute what you found in the other equation and you solve by y
(-24+3y)/2 + 6y = 18 multiply everything by 2
-24 + 3y + 12y = 36
3y + 12y = 36 + 24
15y = 60
y = 60/15
y = 4
Good job! You found your y! :D
Now let's substitute the y in the first equation with 4:
2x - 3(4) = -24
2x - 12 = -24
2x = -24 + 12
2x = -12
x = -12/2
x= -6
Done!! ;) <span />
It is tripled as well. You are tripling every distance and thus tripling the sum of the distances as well.
