X^2 - 4x - 12 = 0 Factor and solve

1 answer:

7 0

Ax^2+bx+c=0

find what 2 numbers multiply to get c and add to get b
x^2-4x-12
b=-4
c=-12

x times y=-12
x+y=-4
factor -12
-1, 12
-2,6
-3,4
add
-1+12=11
-2+6=4
-3+4=1

the one that works is -2 and 6 because they can be reversed to make -6 and 2 which multiploy to get -12 and add to get -4 so

split it up into

x^2-4x-12=(x-6)(x+2)=0
set each to zero
x-6=0
add 6
x=6

x+2=0
subtract 2
x=-2

x=6 or -2

What is 215% of 44? 9460 946 94.6 9.46

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

94.6

Step-by-step explanation:

100% of 44 = 44

⇒ 200% of 44 = 44 + 44 = 88

15% = 15/100 = 0.15

⇒ 15% of 44 = 0.15 x 44 = 6.6

Therefore, 215% of 44 = 88 + 6.6 = 94.6

Math question for 30 points please answer correctly

joja [24]

Answer:

D. The rate of change for function B is greater than the rate of change for function A

Step-by-step explanation:

Function a has a slope (aka rate of change) of 3/3

I know this because we start at (-3, 0) then finish at (0, 3)

We added 3 to both the x value and the y value.

3/3 = 1, so we have a rate of change of 1 for function A

Now that we know this, we can write the equation out into slope intercept form.

We can get y = x + 3

The equation for function B is y = 5x + 5

The slope for function B is greater, therefore the rate of change for function B is greater than the rate of change for function A

295 feet = _____ meters ?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Hello! I hope I am correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

295 feet will equal to 89.916 meters.

Steps in order to solve this problem:

First you have to multiply the length in feet by 0.3048.

295x 0.3048 or 295* 0.3048

(295 feet is equivalent to 89.916 meters!)

Will equal 89.916 meters.

Therefore, 295 feet = 89.916 meter

Hope this helps!

Your answer to this is:

$\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0}$

<h2>→ <u>EXPLANATION :-</u></h2>

<u />

<u /> $\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0} \: (1)$

$\sf{Apply \: rule:} \: (a) = a$

$\sf{(1) = 1$

$\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0} \: ^. \: 1$

$\sf{\frac{1}{1 \: + \:1} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\sf{\frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0} ^.^ \: 1 \: = \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0}$

$\sf{= \frac{1}{2} \: + \frac{2}{1 \: + \: x^2} \: + \: \frac{1}{1 \: + \: x^4} \: + \: \frac{2^1^0^0}{1 \: + \: x^2^0^0}$

A one year membership to a gym Costa $725 the registration fee is $125 and the remaining amount la paid monthly define a variabl

konstantin123 [22]

Heyo. Let's go ahead and set this problem up

It should look like this

12x + 125 = 725

The variables can be another letter, doesn't matter.

12 will stand for the months in a year

x is the amount paid per month

125 is the registration free

725 is the one year membership total

Subtract both sides by 125 to get:

12x = 600

Divide both sides by 12 to get:

x=50

That being said, each month, a new member will pay $50.
