Not sure what you are asking but 0.25 and 1/8 are closer to 1 than they are 2
Answer:
a = - 2, b = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the values of the zeros into the polynomial and equate to zero.
x² +(a + 1)x + b
x = - 2 → (- 2)² - 2(a + 1) + b = 0 , that is
4 - 2a - 2 + b = 0
2 - 2a + b = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- 2a + b = - 2 → (1)
x = 3 → 3² + 3(a + 1) + b = 0, that is
9 + 3a + 3 + b = 0
12 + 3a + b = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a + b = - 12 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b
5a = - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )
a = - 2
Substitute a = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for b
Substituting into (2)
3(- 2) + b = - 12
- 6 + b = - 12 ( add 6 to both sides )
b = - 6
Thus a = - 2 and b = - 6
What you have to do is multiply each of the sides so you have 80, 60, and 48.
Add those up to get 188. Then multiply this by 2 and you get 376.
Your answer is D. (376)
P.S if this helped you out, please give me brainliest if you don't mind. I am only a few more from leveling up :D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a system of inequalities such that:
Let's start by solving for y for both equations:
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Now if we substitute the 2nd y into the first equation we obtain:
Now we will solve for the second equation using the first result of y and we obtain:
And so our solution for the system of equations is:
As well as:
