It can either be equivalent to 11 or 18.
Answer:
(-2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a quadratic equation in standard form, and a = 1, b = 4 and c = 3.
The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by the formula
-b -4
x = --------- which here has the numerical value x = -------- = -2
2a 2
Finally, we evaluate y=x^2+4x+3 at x = -2 to find the y-coordinate of the vertex:
y = (-2)^2 + 4(-2) + 3 = -1
The vertex is at (-2, -1).
Answer: (x-5)/(x+1) and x cannot equal -1 because the denominator can't be zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the numerator:
(x+9)(x-5)
Factor the denominator:
(x+1)(x+9)
So you have
(x+9)(x-5)/(x+1)(x+9); see that you can cross out the (x+9) in both the numerator and denominator?
You're left with (x-5)/(x+1)
The only number that is restricted is -1, because that would make the denominator zero, which is a no no!!
= -3
