Use factoring to find the zeros. x2 - 9x – 36 = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
3241004551 [841]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: x=12, x=-3

Step-by-step explanation: For this factored problem, you see that -36 is negative, as well at -9. This shows you that you need to find two numbers that multiply to get -36, and add up to get -9. Two numbers that both satisfy these requirements are -12 and 3. They multiply to get -36, and add to get -9.

Once you have found your values, you plug them into (x+/- __)(x+/- __), which is (x-12)(x+3).

But since the problem asks you to find the zeroes, you set each factor equal to zero, like this:

x-12=0 and x+3=0

Then solve and you have you answer!

Express the fractions 1/2, 3/16, and 7/8 with an LCD
Ket [755]
<span>Least Common Denominator (LCD) is the least number which all the denominators can divide without remainder. The given denominators are 2, 16 and 8. The least number 2, 16 and 8 will divide without remainder is 16. Therefore, to express the fractions 1/2, 3/12, and 7/8 with an LCD, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of each of the fractions with a common factor that makes the denominator to be 16. Therefore, 1/2, 3/16 and 7/8 expressed with an LCD are (1 x 8) / (2 x 8), 3/16, (7 x 2) / (8 x 2) = 8/16, 3/16, and 14/16.</span>

Triangle QRS has been rotated 90° to create triangle TVU. Using the image below, prove that lines RS and VU have the opposite an
Zanzabum

Answer:

If the line RS has been rotated 90 degrees, then VU will be perpendicular to RS and the two slopes must be opposite and reciprocal, i.e. product of the two slopes will equal -1.

As a verification, we find the locations of V and U from rotations of R & S.

(actually, the triangle had been rotated -90&deg;, 90 &deg; clockwise)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope RS, m1:

Slope VU, m2

Hence m1*m2=1*-1=-1, meaning that m1 and m2 are opposite (in sign) and are reciprocal to each other, as expected

If the original number is ab it has a value of

10a+b  when it is reversed it will have a value of 10b-a

10b+a-10a-b  is the differences which is equal to

9b-9a

So the numbers must be divisible by 9

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance of trip = 980 miles

Miles covered when Amelia slept = 931 miles

what percentage of the total trip had they travelled when Amelia fell asleep?

Miles yet to be covered = 980 miles - 931 miles

= 49 miles

percentage of the total trip had they travelled when Amelia fell asleep = 931 / 980 × 100

= 0.95 * 100

= 95%
