When the coefficient in front of the x^2 term is 1 you can factor a quadratic by finding two numbers such that the sum is the coefficient infront of x and the product is c. So
a+b=-4 and ab=-5 notice that -5 and 1 are solutions since (-5)*1=-5 and 1-5=-4 so you can factor it as (x-5)(x+1).

Hi there!

\large\boxed{x = 2.5}

y = x² - 5x - 6

Rewrite into factored form by finding two numbers that sum up to -5 and multiply into -6. We can use the numbers -6 and 1:

y = (x - 6)(x + 1) is the equation in factored form.

There are zeroes at:

0 = x - 6

x = 6

0 = x + 1

x = -1

Find the x-value exactly half-way between the two zeroes to find the axis of symmetry:

(-1 + 6) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5

Therefore, the equation for the line of symmetry is:

x = 2.5

Trava [24]

Answer:

I invested $ 10,000 at 7% per year, and $ 1,000 at 3% per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that I invested $ 11,000 in two accounts paying 3% and 7% annual interest, respectively, if the total interest earned for the year was $ 730, to determine how much was invested at each rate, the following calculation must be performed:

5,000 x 0.07 + 6,000 x 0.03 = 530

8,000 x 0.07 + 3,000 x 0.03 = 650

10,000 x 0.07 + 1,000 x 0.03 = 730

Therefore, I invested $ 10,000 at 7% per year, and $ 1,000 at 3% per year.
