Find the x-intercepts for the parabola defined

Mathematics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise we have the following equation of a parabola:

y=2x^2-12x+10

So our goal is to find the x-intercepts. We can find this setting y=0, so:

2x^2-12x+10=0

Taking 2 as common factor:

2(x^2-6x+5)=0

Hence this is a Non-perfect Square Trinomial. To factor out this, let's choose two numbers such that:

  • The sum is -6
  • The product is 5

Those two numbers are:

  • -1 and -5

Because:

  • Sum: -6
  • Product: 5

So this equation can be written as:

x^2 + (a + b)x + ab=(x + a)(x + b) \\ \\ a=-1 \\ b=-5 \\ \\  x^2-14x+24=(x-(-1))(x-(-5))=0 \\ \\ (x+1)(x+5)=0 \\ \\ So \ the \ solutions \ are: \\ \\ \boxed{x=-1 \ and \ x=-5}

Answer: $358.8 to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is calculated by Where: A = P(1 + r)t

Where P= 300, r= 12% = 0.12, t= 1.5 years

Slot in the figures

300 (1 + 0.12) 1.5

300 (1.12) 1.5

300x 1.12

336e1.12

A = $ 358.84
