Your answer : is b (the letter b)
x = -2, x = 5
=> f(x) = a(x+2)(x-5), a ∈ R
Solve for x: x^2+4x-5=16x
first take 16x from both sides of the equation
x²-12x-5=0
now we have a quadratic. we can solve it by using the quadratic formula
x=-b plus or minus the square root of b²-4ac all divided by 2a
where a=1, b=-12 and c=-5
plug these numbers into the formula
x=12 plus or minus the square root of 144-4x1x-5 all divided by 2
<span>x=12 plus or minus the square root of 164 all divided by 2
or in decimal form </span>x = {12.403124237, -0.403124237}
Letter B I have done this before
In order to find the slope of a line, u must use the slope formula. Which is (y2-y1/x2-x1). For example if you had a set of coordinates that are (6,4) and (2,8) you would first sub the 8 from4 which gives you 4. The u do the same with 2 and 6 which gives u 4. After that you divide 4 by 4. and your answer is 1
