Identify all factors of the expression 12x^2-14x-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
6 0

Let's solve this by using the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}


Note that we only use the coefficients so a=12, b=-14, and c=-6.

Plug values in the quadratic equation:

\frac{ -  ( - 14)± \sqrt{ {( - 14)}^{2} - 4(12)( - 6) } }{2(12)}

And so by evaluating those values we obtain:

\frac{14+-\sqrt{484} }{24}=\frac{14+-22}{24}  \\\\

Now we have two answers which are our factors one where we add another where we subtract and so:

First factor:

\frac{14+22}{24}=\frac{36}{24}=\frac{3}{2}


Second Factor:

\frac{14-22}{24}=\frac{-8}{24}=-\frac{1}{3}


And so your factors are

\frac{3}{2},-\frac{1}{3}

meaning that those are your roots/x-intercepts.

Given f(x)=4x+5 and g(x)= x^2+x; find (f∘g)(-5)<br> Please show all steps thank you
Greeley [361]

Answer:

(f\circ g)(-5)=85

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

\displaystyle f(x)=4x+5\text{ and } g(x)=x^2+x

And we want to find:

(f\circ g)(-5)

This is equivalent to:

\displaystyle =f(g(-5))

So, we will evaluate g(-5) first, which yields:

\displaystyle g(-5)=(-5)^2+(-5)=25-5=20

So:

=f(g(-5))=f(20)

Then:

\displaystyle f(20)=4(20)+5=80+5=85

Therefore:

(f\circ g)(-5)=85
