Solve the equation.

Mathematics

Nutka1998 [239]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like ax2+bx+c, we need to think of 2 numbers such that:

N1⋅N2=a⋅c=1⋅−12=−12

AND

N1+N2=b=−1

After trying out a few numbers we get N1=3 and N2=−4

3⋅−4=−12, and 3+(−4)=−1

x2−x−12=x2−4x+3x−12

x(x−4)+3(x−4)=0

(x+3)(x−4)=0

Now we equate the factors to zero.

x+3=0,x=−3

x−4=0,x=4

the change in water vapor in a cloud is modeled by a polynomial function, c (x). describe how to find the x - intercepts of c (x
lukranit [14]

The change in the water vapors is modeled by the polynomial function c(x). In order to find the x-intercepts of a polynomial we set it equal to zero and solve for the values of x. The resulting values of x are the x-intercepts of the polynomial.

Once we have the x-intercepts we know the points where the graph crosses the x-axes. From the degree of the polynomial we can visualize the end behavior of the graph and using the values of maxima and minima a rough sketch can be plotted.

Let the polynomial function be c(x) = x ² -7x + 10

To find the x-intercepts we set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x as shown below:

x ² -7x + 10 = 0

Factorizing the middle term, we get:

x ² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0

x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) =0

(x - 2)(x - 5)=0

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x=2

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x=5

Thus the x-intercept of our polynomial are 2 and 5. Since the polynomial is of degree 2 and has positive leading coefficient, its shape will be a parabola opening in upward direction. The graph will have a minimum point but no maximum if the domain is not specified. The minimum points occurs at the midpoint of the two x-intercepts. So the minimum point will occur at x=3.5. Using x=3.5 the value of the minimum point can be found. Using all this data a rough sketch of the polynomial can be constructed. The figure attached below shows the graph of our polynomial.
