What are the zeros of f(x)=x^2+x-20?

1 answer:

3 0

F(x) = x² + x - 20 = x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = (x + 5)(x - 4)

f(x) = 0 ⇔ (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0 ⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -5 or x = 4

Answer: C. x = -5 and x = 4.

While preparing for a party a party planner began with 75 pieces of candy she ate 5 pieces while she was working then she put eq

Sloan [31]

The easiest way to find this answer is to work through it step by step.

She starts with 75 pieces.

She eats 5 pieces, so the # of pieces goes down from 75 to 75-5 = 70.

So she has 70 pieces left to put in the bags.

She puts the same amount in each of 10 bags... so we divide 70 by 10 to find the # of pieces in each bag.

70 divided by 10 is 7.

She put 7 pieces in each bag.
