There is a multiple zero at 0 (which means that it touches there), and there are single zeros at -2 and 2 (which means that they cross). There is also 2 imaginary zeros at i and -i.


You can find this by factoring. Start by pulling out the greatest common factor, which in this case is -x^2.


-x^6 + 3x^4 + 4x^2

-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)


Now we can factor the inside of the parenthesis. You do this by finding factors of the last number that add up to the middle number.


-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)

-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)


Now we can use the factors of two perfect squares rule to factor the middle parenthesis.


-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)

-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)


We would also want to split the term in the front.


-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)

(x)(-x)(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)


Now we would set each portion equal to 0 and solve.


First root

x = 0 ---> no work needed


Second root

-x = 0 ---> divide by -1

x = 0


Third root

x - 2 = 0

x = 2


Forth root

x + 2 = 0

x = -2


Fifth and Sixth roots

x^2 + 1 = 0

x^2 = -1

x = +/- \sqrt{-1}

x = +/- i

X^2=14x-49. i just dont know how to do the steps to solve this equation
KonstantinChe [14]
x^2=14x-49 \\ \\ x^2 - 14x + 49 = 0 \ / \ move \ terms \\ \\ x^2 - 2(x)(7) + 7^2 = 0 \ / \ rewrite \\ \\ (x - 7)^2 = 0 \ / \ square \ of \ difference \ method \\ \\ x - 7 = 0 \ / \ square \ root \ each \ side \\ \\ x = 7 \ / \ add \ 7 \\ \\

The answer is: x = 7.

The graph shows the data points in the table and the exponential regression model associated with the data ?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option: A is the correct answer.

         The number of weeds is decreasing by a multiplicative rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clear;y from the scatter plot we could observe that with the increasing value of one variable the other variable is decreasing.

Hence, The number of weeds is decreasing.

Also as we could see that the line of best fit is a curve and not a line Hence, the number of weeds are not decreasing by a additive rate  ( since the rate or a slope of a line is constant) it is decreasing by a multiplicative rate.

<em>Based on the graph of a regression model:</em>

<em>Option: A is correct.</em>

What is the equation written in vertex from of a parabola with a vertex of (4, –2) that passes through (2, –14)?
vichka [17]

Answer:

y = -3(x - 4)² - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertex, (4, -2), and the point (2, -14):

We can use the vertex form of the quadratic equation:

y = a(x - h)² + k

Where:

(h, k) = vertex

a  =  determines whether the graph opens up or down, and it also makes the parent function <u>wider</u> or <u>narrower</u>.

  • <u>positive</u> value of a = opens <u><em>upward</em></u>
  • <u>negative</u> value of a = opens <u><em>downward</em></u>
  • a is between 0 and 1, (0 < a < 1) the graph is <u><em>wider</em></u> than the parent function.
  • a > 1, the graph is <u><em>narrower</em></u> than the parent function.

<em>h </em>=<em> </em>determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.

  • h = positive, the function is translated <em>h</em> units to the right.
  • h = negative, the function is translated |<em>h</em>| units to the left.

<em>k</em> determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

  • k = positive: translate <em>k</em> units <u><em>up</em></u>.
  • k = negative, translate <em>k</em> units <u><em>down</em></u>.

Now that I've set up the definitions for each variable of the vertex form, we can determine the quadratic equation using the given vertex and the point:

vertex (h, k): (4, -2)

point (x, y): (2, -14)

Substitute these values into the vertex form to solve for a:

y = a(x - h)² + k

-14 = a(2 - 4)²  -2

-14 = a (-2)² -2

-14 = a4 + -2

Add to to both sides:

-14 + 2 = a4 + -2 + 2

-12 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for a:

-12/4 = 4a/4

-3 = a

Therefore, the quadratic equation inI vertex form is:

y = -3(x - 4)² - 2

The parabola is downward-facing, and is vertically compressed by a factor of -3. The graph is also horizontally translated 4 units to the right, and vertically translated 2 units down.

Attached is a screenshot of the graph where it shows the vertex and the given point, using the vertex form that I came up with.
