X-intercepts are points where the graph intersects the x-axis, i.e. when y=0.
Substitute y=0 and solve for x:
y=x^2-3x+2
0=x^2-3x+2
0=(x-2)(x-1)
By the zero product property, we deduce x-2=0 or x-1=0, i.e. x=1 or x=2.
1.5 would be the answer I think
There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total coins = 253
Value of coins = $15.95 = 15.95*100 = 1595 cents
Value of each nickel = 5 cents
Value of each dime = 10 cents
According to given statement;
x+y=253 Eqn 1
5x+10y=1595 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 5

Putting y=66 in Eqn 1

There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.

Answer:1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Area of rectangular garden = lxb = 10*5
= 50 sq. inch
when area increases by six times
new area = 50*6 = 300 sq inches
now,
let x be increasement in both length and width
(5+x) (10+x) = 300
50 + 5x + 10x + x² = 300
x² + 15x - 250 = 0
x²+ 25x-10x -250 = 0
x(x+25) - 10 (x+25) = 0
( x-10) (x+25) = 0
either x + 25 =0
x = -25 length can be negative
0r x-10 = 0
x = 10
so 10 inches is increase on both side
