Answer:

x = 2, and 6

x = 2 , 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function to analyze is: y = -x^2+8x-12

In order to find where the corresponding parabola intercepts the x axis, we set it equal to zero (y = 0):

y = -x^2+8x-12\\0 = -x^2+8x-12\\x^2-8x+12=0

This equation is easy to solve by factoring. We look for a air of integer numbers whose product equals the constant term "12", and whose combinig renders the coefficient of the middle term of the trinomial "-8".

The two such numbers are "-2" and "-6". We use them to split the middle term, and then solve by factoring by grouping:

x^2-8x+12=0\\x^2-2x-6x+12=0\\(x^2-2x)+(-6x+12)=0\\x(x-2)-6(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(x-6)=0

For the product of two factors to render zero, we need either one to be a zero.This means that (x-2)=0 (that is x = 2), or (x-6)=0 (that is x = 6).

So, there are two x-intercepts: x= 2, and 6

Please include how to solve this!! Thanks you!

Circle=27, triangle=18, and square=26

Start with the second question. If you divide 36 by 2, you get 18 which is the value for the triangle. Now since you know the value of the triange you subtract it from 45. (45-18=27) 27 is the value of the circle. Lastly, subtract 27 from 53 to get the value of the square (53-27=26). Hope this helps!
