Answer:

3 < square root of 12 < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When estimating square roots find the closest perfect square.

So the previous root of 12 is √9 because it is 3, and the next root is √16 which is 4.

The graph of the line with the equation y = 1/2 * x + 4 crosses the x-axis at which of the following
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so we are looking for the x intercept (where the line crosses the x axis).

to do this, we sub in 0 for y and solve for x.

y = 1/2x + 4....sub in 0 for y

0 = 1/2x + 4

-1/2x = 4

x = 4 * -2

x = -8 <=== so it crosses the x axis at (-8,0)

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression 5n-2n
inysia [295]

Answer:

The answer is 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the expression has two numbers with the same variable, they are able to be combined.

We will subtract 2n from 5n, so 5n - 2n.

This results us with <u>3n</u>, since 5 - 2 equals 3.

Solve. x 2 −5x−8=0 x2−5x−8=0 Enter your answers, as exact values, in the boxes. x = or x =
Sidana [21]

Answer:

x2-5x-8=0  

Step-by-step explanation:

Two solutions were found :

x =(5-√57)/2=-1.275

x =(5+√57)/2= 6.275

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "x2"   was replaced by   "x^2".  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1     Factoring  x2-5x-8  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -8  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -8 = -8  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -8  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

    -8 + 1 = -7  

    -4+  2 = -2  

    -2+  4 = 2  

    -1 +   8 = 7
