-2 = - x + x^2 -4 => x^2 - x - 4 + 2 = 0
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
a is the coefficient of x^2 => a = 1
b is the coefficient of x => b = - 1
c is the constant term => c = - 2
quadratic equation: [- b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a =
= { 1 +/- √[ (-1)^2 - 4(1)(-2)] } / (2(1) = { 1 +/- √ (1 + 8) } / 2 = {1 +/- √9} / 2 =
= { 1 +/- 3} / 2
I am not certain of what you wrote for the function but will assume that is likely exponential function or quadratic function.
First, (quadratic function) To solve this, you must know the quadratic formula. The x-intercept is value(s) that has the output value(y) of 0.
If the vertex of the quadratic function of (0,0), there is only one x-intercept. The number and value of the x-intercept depends on the slope and vertical displacement.
Second, (exponential function) note that there is no x-intercept. For instance, if a is 2, is there such value y that 2^y is 0? The smallest exponential value that is an integer is 1. Even broadening the limit to rational numbers, no such exponential value can have the result of 0. Therefore, in the basic form of exponential function, there is no x-intercept.
The line is horizontal, therefore the slope is 0.
Answer=0
Answer:
9 beads are purple
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find out how many beads are purple, multiply the total beads by the fraction of the beads that are purple
so
therefore
9 beads are purple
Another way to solve the problem is convert the fraction in percentage
we have
so
If the total are 18 beads
50% is 9 beads
therefore
9 beads are purple
