The function is:
f ( x ) = x² - x - 72
This is a quatdratic function. So we can find the zeroes of the function with the formula:
x 1/2 = ( - b +/- √(b² - 4 ac) ) / ( 2a )
And we have: a = 1, b = - 1 and c = - 72
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √((-1)² - 4 · 1· ( - 72 )) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √( 1 + 288 ) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √289 ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- 17 ) / 2
x 1 = ( 1 - 17 ) 2 = - 16 / 2 = - 8
x 2 = ( 1 + 17 ) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9
Answer: The zeroes are - 8 and 9.
Answer:
d. since we know it can travel 500 mph and it has enough fuel to fly for another 1500 miles. it can fly for 3 more hours, the reason D is the correct answer is since the plane can't fly more than 3 hours so it will fly for 3 hours exactly or less
Divide both sides by 5 , so 5(x + 5)/5 < 85/5 , which will give you <span>x + 5 < 17 , then minus 5 from both sides which will give you x < 12 . hope this helps !</span>
Answer: -5x+-10 using the distributive property
Answer:
∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Reason; Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC)
∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: Reason; CPCTC
Step-by-step explanation:
: Reason; Given
Draw 
so that M is the midpoint of 
: Reason; Two points determine a line
: Reason; Definition of midpoint
: Reason; Reflexive property
ΔPQM ≅ ΔPRM: Reason; Side Side Side (SSS) rule for triangle congruency
∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent CPCTC
∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: CPCTC
