Answer:
A product of factors is zero if and only if one or more of the factors is zero. That is, if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0 (or both).
Hence (x+3)(x+12) = 0 only if (x+3) = 0 or (x+12) = 0 or both. (x+3) = 0 when x = 3.(x+12) = 0 when x = 12.
Hence the values of x that make (x+3)(x+12) = 0 are x = 3 and x = 12.
Answer:
(3x + 4)(2x - 5)
<em> = (3x + 4)(2x - 5)</em>
Hope this helped! Have a great day!
Remark
This is an excellent question. Estimation is a powerful skill to have. People should always shop using estimates. Try it to see what happens.
x = 11.7 which rounds up to which we will call x1 and that is 12
y = 6.03 which round down to 6 which we will call y1 and that is 6
Now x - y = 5.67
If you do the rounded subtraction x1 - y1 = 12 - 6 = 6
The estimate is not zero. D is not correct.
There is enough information E is not the answer.
B is wrong, her estimate is larger than x - y
C is wrong the two subtractions are not equal.
A is correct and always will be no matter what numbers are chosen
A <<<< Answer
Well I would say that you would probably want to look at the chart and add the points together on that X to Y Coordinate chart. If it slopes into lower numbers it’s negative. If it goes higher in numbers it’s positive. Then if it’s to 0 then it’s zero. I can’t remember what undefined is
