How do you find the x-intercepts using factoring and the zero product property?​

Mathematics
1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

The zero product property states that if ab=0 , then either a=0 or b=0.

So when it comes to factors, you may have something that looks like this:

(x-1)(x+5)=0

With the property you can know that this means that you should set each factor to 0.

x-1=0 so x=1

x+5=0 so x=-5

This gives you the 2 x-intercepts of the equation 1 and -5

I hope this helped let me know if you need anything else!

You are downloading a song. The percent y(in decimal form) of megabytes remaining to download after x seconds is y=-0.1x+1.

I would make the equation have both of your variables on the same side:

0.1x+y=1

Then I would use the cover-up method and say that

x-intercept= 10

y-intercept= 1


*Cover-Up Method: If you were finding the X-intercept, you would just ignore the y variable and divide your whole number by x.

In this case the whole number is 1. 1/0.1=10

Vice Versa with finding the Y-intercept

The length of a rectangular plot of land is 10 yards more than its width. If the area of the land 600 square yards , find the di
vagabundo [1.1K]
<span>Let the width of the rectangular plot of land be 'x' yards. Given that the length of the rectangular plot of land is 10 yards more than its width. So, width of the rectangular plot of land = (x + 10) yards. Also given that the area of the rectangular plot of land is 600 square yards. We know that, area of a rectangle = length * width That is, (x+10) * x = 600 x^2 + 10x = 600 x^2 + 10x - 600 = 0 x^2 + 30x - 20x -600 = 0 x(x + 30) - 20(x + 30) = 0 (x +30)(x -20) =0 Therefore, either (x + 30) = 0 or (x - 20) = 0 If x + 30 = 0, then x = -30 and If x - 20 = 0, then x = 20 Since 'x' represents the width of a rectangular plot of land it cannot be negative. Therefore, width of the rectangular plot of land = 20 yards length of the rectangular plot of land= x + 10 = 30 yards</span>
