Answer:

x= -7      x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 8x + 7 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to 7 and add to 8

7*1 = 7

7+1 = 8

(x+7)(x+1) =0

Using the zero product property

x+7 =0   x+1 = 0

x= -7      x = -1

Answer:

x =  - 1 \\ x =  - 7

Answer B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  + 8x + 7  = 0\\  {x}^{2}  + 7x + x + 7  = 0\\ x(x + 7) + 1(x + 7) = 0 \\ (x + 1)(x + 7) = 0

x + 1 = 0 \\ x =  - 1

x + 7 = 0 \\ x =  - 7

hope this helps

brainliest appreciated

good luck! have a nice day!

How do you find the arctan 4/3 ? (Without a calculator)
Soloha48 [4]
If arctan 4/3 = the tangent of that angle will be 4/3 , opposite 4 over adjacent 3

Now, you only have to take the sin of that angle it's opposite 4 over hypotenuse 5. 

You will get that the answer is 4/5

hope this helps

What are the two solutions of 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1.  Consolidate all terms on the left side and write 0 on the right side:

3x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation.  Let's solve it for x using the quadratic formula:

a = 3, b = 5, c = 1, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac = 5^2 - 4(3)(1) = 13.  Because the discriminant is positive, we know that there are two distinct, real roots; the graphs of y = 2x^2 and y = x^2 - 5x - 1 intersect in two places whose x-coordinates are the real roots mentioned above.

Answer A is not correct as stated, but would be correct if we were to replace "the y-coordinates" with "the x-coordinates."  

Answer C would be correct if and only if we write y = x^2 - 5x - 1.

How do you do this question?
vivado [14]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dt = y² − 1 = (y + 1) (y − 1)

At t = 0, y = 0, and dy/dt = -1.  Therefore, y is initially decreasing.

As y decreases, dy/dt increases.  When y = -1, dy/dt = 0 and changes signs from negative to positive.

As y increases above -1, dy/dt again becomes negative.  So y continues to approach -1 as t approaches infinity.

What property does the statement show? (4x8)x3=(8x4)x3
Mariana [72]
1. commutative property states that : a + b = b + a 

<span>2. 3x - 5 = 5x - 17 -- add 5 to both sides </span>
<span>3x = 5x - 17 + 5 -- subtract 5x from both sides </span>
<span>3x - 5x = -17 + 5 -- combine like terms </span>
<span>-2x = -12 -- divide both sides by -2 </span>
<span>x = 6 </span>

<span>3. slope formula : slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) </span>
<span>(3,-1) x1 = 3 and y1 = -1 </span>
<span>(-2,-5) x2 = -2 and y2 = -5 </span>
<span>now we sub </span>
<span>slope = ((-5 - (-1)) / (-2 -3) </span>
<span>slope = (-5 + 1) / -5 </span>
<span>slope = -4/-5 </span>
<span>slope = 4/5 </span>

<span>4. x = first integer </span>
<span>x + 2 = 2nd integer </span>
<span>x + x + 2 = 80 -- combine like terms </span>
<span>2x + 2 = 80 -- subtract 2 from both sides </span>
<span>2x = 80 - 2 </span>
<span>2x = 78 -- divide both sides by 2 </span>
<span>x = 39 <== this is the smallest number </span>
<span>x + 2 = 41 </span>

<span>5. p = 1/2g - 3 </span>

<span>6. The union of two sets is all the numbers in both sets, no need to copy the same number more then once. Answer is : (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10) </span>

<span>7. 2x + 3y <= 6 -- put in y = mx + b form </span>
<span>3y <= -2x + 6 </span>
<span>y <= -2/3x + 2 </span>
<span>In y = mx + b form, the y intercept is in the b position. So the y intercept is (0,2) </span>
<span>To find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y (change inequality sign to equal sign) </span>
<span>2x + 3y = 6 </span>
<span>2x + 3(0) = 6 </span>
<span>2x = 6 </span>
<span>x = 3 </span>
<span>x intercept is (3,0) </span>
<span>So plot your points (3,0) and (0,2) </span>
<span>Connect the points with a solid line because there is an equal sign in there. </span>
<span>Shade below the line because it is less then. </span>

<span>8. 3x + 6y = 8 </span>
<span>6y = -3x + 8 </span>
<span>y = -1/2x + 4/3 </span>

<span>y = 2x - 8 </span>

<span>Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. The slope in these equations are -1/2 and 2. These are negative reciprocals of each other. </span>

<span>9. 7x + 3y - 2 + 6x + 1 + y^2 </span>
<span>y^2 + 3y + 13x - 1 </span>

<span>10. (0,6) x1 = 0 and y1 = 6 </span>
<span>(3,0) x2 = 3 and y2 = 0 </span>
<span>slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) </span>
<span>slope(m) = (0 - 6) / (3 - 0) </span>
<span>slope(m) = -6/3 </span>
<span>slope(m) = -2 </span>

<span>y = mx + b </span>
<span>(0,6) x = 0 and y = 6 </span>
<span>6 = 0(-2) + b </span>
<span>6 = b </span>

<span>your equation is : y = -2x + 6 (slope intercept form) </span>
<span>2x + y = 6 (standard form) </span>

<span>11. x + y = 5 -- put this in y = mx + b form, and the m position is your slope </span>
<span>y = -x + 5 (-x is the same as -1x) so your slope is -1 </span>

<span>12. 4y = 8x - 3 -- put in y = mx + b form, and the b stands for the y intercept </span>
<span>y = 8/4x - 3/4 </span>
<span>y = 2x - 3/4 (the y intercept is -3/4 </span>

<span>13. |a| + b --- (a = -1.4 and b = -2.7) </span>
<span>absolute values, whether they have a negative or not, they are always positive </span>
<span>|a| + b </span>
<span>|-1.4 | + (-2.7) </span>
<span>1.4 - 2.7 = -1.3 <== your answer </span>

<span>14. I cannot see the problem </span>

<span>15. -4 < 2t <= 2 --- divide everything by 2 </span>
<span>-2 < t <= 1 </span>
<span>open circle on -2, closed circle on 1, shading in between </span>

<span>16. x + 2y = -9 ---> x = -2y - 9 </span>
<span>now sub -2y - 9 in for x in the other equation </span>
<span>4x - 2y = 14 </span>
<span>4(-2y - 9) - 2y = 14 -- distribute through the parenthesis </span>
<span>-8y - 36 - 2y = 14 -- add 36 to both sides </span>
<span>-8y - 2y = 14 + 36 combine like terms </span>
<span>-10y = 50 -- divide by -10 </span>
<span>y = -5 </span>
<span>now sub -5 in for y in either of the original equations </span>
<span>x + 2y = -9 </span>
<span>x + 2(-5) = -9 </span>
<span>x - 10 = -9 </span>
<span>x = -9 + 10 </span>
<span>x = 1 </span>
<span>answer : x = 1 and y = -5 or (1,-5) </span>
