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.

Answer:

SF = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Like the problem hint says, you want to put the new coordinate over the old one to find the scale factor. We'll use both x and y.

-7/-3 = 7/3

14/6 = 7/3

Therefore, the scale factor is 7/3.

An ostrich run 6 mile in12 minut how far he could come in 40 minutes

bogdanovich [222]

The ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, An ostrich run 6 mile in 12 minutes

We have to find how far he could come in 40 minutes

Now, according to the given information

Ostrich runs 6 miles ⇒ 12 minutes

Then, “n” miles ⇒ 40 minutes

Now, by criss cross multiplication we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 6 \times 40=n \times 12} \\\\ {\rightarrow 40=n \times 2} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=20}\end{array}$

Hence, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes
