When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.
In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.
a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:
3a+7≥28,
which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.
So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.
Answer: assume a≥7
The only root is -2. The roots are where the function goes through the x-axis. This polynomial goes through in lots of places, but the only answer that matches is -2

Step-by-step explanation: Searched up the problem on brainly and this was the answer. Hope that helps
The given expression :

For coordinates:
put x = 0 then :

Coordinate : (x, y) = (0, 1)
Put x= 1 and simplify :

Coordinate : (x, y) = ( 1, 0.5)
Put x = (-2) and simplify :

Coordinate : (x, y) = ( -2, 4)
Put x = (-3) and simplify :

Coordinate : (x, y) = (-3, 8)
Substitute x = (-1) and simplify :

Coordinate : (x, y) = ( -1, 2)
So, the coordinates are :
The graph is :
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
7x° + (x + 20)° = 180° (linear pair)
Solve for x
7x + x + 20 = 180
Add like terms
8x + 20 = 180
8x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20
8x = 160
8x/8 = 160/8
x = 20
