Answer:
x = - 5 , x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
the values of x that make f(x) zero are the zeros
to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is
3x² + 13x - 10 = 0
consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 3 × - 10 = - 30 and sum = + 13
the factors are + 15 and - 2
use these factors to split the x- term
3x² + 15x - 2x - 10 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) = 0 ← factor out (x + 5) from each term
(x + 5)(3x - 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x =
Answer:
where 
is the number of laptops, and 
is the year.
in 2017: 
Step-by-step explanation:
I will define the variable 
as the number of years that passed since 2007.
Since the school buys 20 lapts each year, after a number of years, the school will have
more laptops.
and thus, since the school starts with 31 laptops, the equation to model this situation is
where is the number of laptops.
since x is the number of years that have passed since 2007, it can be represented like this:
where can be any year, so the equation to model the situation using the year:
and this way we can find the number of laptos at the end of 2017:
and
Answer:
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
50 ÷ (-5)
First ignore the brackets and the negative sign.
Then divide 50 by 5 to get 10
Then return the negative sign so the answer is; -10
Make two equations from the information. Then graph them and see where they intersect. The answer is 62 miles. Plug 62 back into both equations and they should both be the same number.
