Answer:

  a) x = -1, x = 4

  b) y = x^2 -3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We observe the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 4. These are the solutions to y = 0, which is usually what we want in cases like this.

The solutions are x=-1 and x=4.

__

b) We know two of the factors are (x +1) and (x -4). There may be an additional constant factor for vertical scaling. One point we can check is the y-intercept.

  y = a(x +1)(x -4)

For x=0, this is ...

  y = a(1)(-4) = -4a

The y-intercept is y = -4, so we have a=1.

The factored equation is ...

  y = (x +1)(x -4)

Multiplying this out gives the equation in standard form:

  y = x^2 -3x -4

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Your teacher may want the standard form equation to be ...

  x^2 -3x -4 = 0

This is the equation of two specific points: x=-1 and x=4. It is not the equation of the graph.

Solve the equation for all values of x.<br> (8x+9)(49x^2-100)=0
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

x = \frac{-9}{8} , \frac{-10}{7} , \frac{10}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+9=0

8x=-9

x = \frac{-9}{8}

or

49x^{2}-100 = 0

(7x)^{2} -10^{2} =0,

(7x+10)(7x-10)=0

7x+10=0, 7x-10=0

7x=-10, 7x=10

x=-\frac{-10}{7}, x = \frac{10}{7}
