A) 2 and B) 9
Coefficients are the numbers in front of a variable. The x and y wouldn’t be considered coefficients.
We can solve this problem using discriminant.
x^2-4x-12's discriminant is
(-4)^2-4*-12=16+48 which is clearly larger than 0
This means that it crosses over the axes 2 times.
In case you don't know what discriminant is, its in equation ax^2+bx+c
the discriminant is b^2-4ac.
If its positive it has 2 crosses with x axis, if negative then 0 crosses, if 0 then 1 cross.
Hope this helped at least a little bit :D
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
(segment piece) x (segment piece) = (segment piece) x (segment piece)
JN* NK = LN * NM
3x = 2*6
3x = 12
Divide by 3
3x/3 =12/3
x =4

To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

can be written as
, Replace u for x^2
So equation becomes

Now we factor the left hand side
-16 and -1 are the two factors whose product is +16 and sum is -17
(u-16) (u-1) = 0
u -16 = 0 so u=16
u-1 =0 so u=1
WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2
Now take square root on both sides , x= +4 and x=-4
Now take square root on both sides , x= +1 and x=-1
So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4
Answer:
g(f(4)) = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in gf(x) for where x is in g(x): (x-7)²
Then, fill in 4 for where x is: (4-7)²
Square it: (-3)²
9
