To find the zeros of this function, we must first set the entire function equal to 0
f(x) = x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Since this is a quadratic function, we must use the quadratic formula, which is:

Let's assign a, b, and c using our first function
x² means a = 1 (because it could be written as 1x²)
-2x means b = -2
-15 means c = -15
Now let's plug those in:

which simplifies to:

Simplified further:


And divide it by the 2 on the bottom gives us:

2+4 = 6
2-4 = -2
So the zeros of this function are
-2 and
6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you have the question incomplete, and that this is the complete question
sin^4a + cos^4a = 1 - 2sin^2a.cos^2a
To do this, we can start my mirroring the equation.
x² + y² = (x + y)² - 2xy,
This helps us break down the power from 4 to 2, so that we have
(sin²a)² + (cos²a)² = (sin²a + cos²a) ² - 2(sin²a) (cos²a)
Recall from identity that
Sin²Φ + cos²Φ = 1, so therefore
(sin²a)² + (cos²a)² = 1² - 2(sin²a) (cos²a)
On expanding the power and the brackets, we find that we have the equation proved.
sin^4a + cos^4a = 1 - 2sin^2a.cos^2a
Answer:
c. Side-Angle-Side
Step-by-step explanation:
Two sides (AB and AC) and an included angle (<BAC) in triangle ∆ABC are congruent to two corresponding sides (AD and AC) and an included corresponding angle (<DAC) in ∆ADC.
Therefore, by the SAS Congruence Theorem, both triangles are congruent.
