Answer:

x=2+\sqrt{11},\:x=2-\sqrt{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x-7=0\\\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:formula}\\Quadratic\:Equation\:Formula\\\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=-4,\:c=-7:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-4\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\x=\frac{-\left(-4\right)+\sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}:\quad 2+\sqrt{11}

x=\frac{-\left(-4\right)-\sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-7\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}:\quad 2-\sqrt{11}\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\x=2+\sqrt{11},\:x=2-\sqrt{11}

Which equation, when graphed, has x-intercepts at (-1,0) and (-5,0) and a y-intercept at (0, -30)?
Vladimir [108]

If a function has roots -1 and -5, it must be in the form

f(x)=a(x+1)(x+5)

We can fix the coefficient a by imposing the passing through (0,-30):

f(0)=-30=a(1)(5)\iff a=-6

So, the function is

f(x)=-6(x+1)(x+5)

Solve ry + s = tx - m for y. Explain each step in your solution.
sergeinik [125]

y = (t x - m -s)/r

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

r y + s = t x - m

=> r y = t x - m -s

=>  y = (t x - m -s)/r

Step 2 :

A) r can take any values except 0.

This is because when r = 0, the denominator becomes 0 and division by 0 is undefined

The limitation for r is r should not be equal to 0

The other variables can take any value. Hence the other variables do not have any limitation

When a number is a multiple of 6 what are possible values of the ones digit
umka21 [38]
6,2,8,4,and 0 are the only possible value of the ones digit, because 
6*1=6, last digit is 6
6*2=12, last digit is 2
6*3=18, last digit is 8
6*4=24, last digit is 4
6*5=30, last digit is 0
6*6=36, last digit is 6
and the whole cycle goes over again.
