The roots of a polynomial equation are the values of x that you can plug in so the function is equal to 0. To find the roots, you would want to factor the polynomial and set the factored form equal to zero.

1) First factor the polynomial. The factored form of is (x + a)(x + b), where a and b are two numbers that multiply to -72 and add up to 1. By testing numbers that are factors of -72, you can find that 8 x 9 = 72, meaning that either 8 or 9 has to be negative to get -72. But which one of those is negative?

Since you want the two numbers to add up to 1, that means 9 must be positive and 8 must be negative, since -8 + 9 = 1! That makes a and b, 9 and -8. Your factored form would be (x - 8)(x + 9) = 0.

2) Now you want to find values of x where the function is equal to 0. Remember that anything multiplied by 0 is equal to zero. That means you can set each factor, (x - 8) and (x + 9), equal to 0 to find the two values of x (aka the roots)!
Factor 1:x - 8 = 0x = 8
Factor 2:x + 9 = 0x = -9
Your two roots are 8 and -9.

The line of reflection is<br> and the coordinates of C are

qaws [65]

Points A′, B′, and D′ are shown, but the line of reflection and point C′ are not . coordinates of C from the graph = (4,2) If the coordinates of C'=(6,2) we can see that value of y isn't change with reflection therefore the line of reflection would be x= ordinate of C'+ ordinate of C divided by 2=6+4 divided by 2=10 divided by 2=5. Therefore, the line of reflection must be x=5.

Suppose two vectors point in opposite directions. This means their cross product must be zero. True or false?

snow_tiger [21]

It is true if two vectors point in opposite directions. This means their cross product must be zero.

<h3>What is cross product?</h3>

Cross product is a vector product of two vectors in the three dimensional vector space.

In the case when the two vectors point in opposite directions so there cross product should be zero.

A*B = [A][B] sin

Here theta is be the angle that lies between them
