Answer:
Option b is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph in the picture is the graph of a quadratic equation and it takes the shape of a parabola.
The points on the x axis through which the parabola cuts across is used to determine the solution of the quadratic equation.
Looking at the parabola formed from the plotted points, it cuts the x axis at
x = -1 and x= -2
These are the factors of the equation. To get the equation, we multiply the factors.
x= -1, x +1 = 0
x =-2 , x + 2= 0
The equation is (x+1)(x+2)
Expanding the brackets,
x×x + x×2 +1×x + 1×2
= x^2 + 2x + x +2
= x^2 + 3x +2 = 0
Option b is the correct answer
Answer:
x +4
Step-by-step explanation:
The trinomial x² +8x +16 is a perfect square trinomial, so factors as ...
x² +8x +16 = (x +4)²
Assuming the side length is one of the factors of the given area, it will be ...
side length = (x +4)
Answer:
3x + y = -10

Answer:
3 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of months CDs are added at Tom and Nita's respective rates of 1 and 5 CDs/month.
Tom's collection after x months is = 30 + 1x
Nita's collection after x months is = 18 + 5x
At some point they will have equal numbers of CD's, so set the equations equal to each other:
30 + 1x = 18 + 5x
4x = 12
x = 3 months
At 3 months both Tom and Nita will have the same number of CDs.
Tom: 30 + 1*3 = 33 CDs
Nita: 18 + 5*3 = 33 CDs
