Find the zeros of the function: f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 21

Mathematics
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 7, x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the zeros by factoring the equation using the zero product property.

x^2-4x-21 = 0

(x-7)(x+3) = 0

<u>x-7 = 0</u>

x = 7

<u>x+3 = 0</u>

x = -3

Zeros are x=7 and x= -3.

Determine the values of \theta if sec\;\theta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}.
Masja [62]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have:

\sec(\theta)=-2/\sqrt{3}

Recall that secant is simply the reciprocal of cosine. So we can:

\cos(\theta)=(\sec(\theta))^{-1}=(-2/\sqrt{3})^{-1}\\\cos(\theta)=-\sqrt{3}/2

Now, recall the unit circle. Since cosine is negative, it must be in Quadrants II and/or III. The numerator is the square root of 3. The denominator is 2. The whole thing is negative. Therefore, this means that 150 or 5π/6 is a candidate. Therefore, due to reference angles, 180+30=210 or 7π/6 is also a candidate.

Therefore, the possible values for theta is

5π/6 +2nπ

and

7π/6 + 2nπ

3. Lori and Maria bought juice to make fruit punch. Maria bought 5 bottles of juice, each containing 750 milliliters. Lori bough
Leona [35]

Answer:

A. Lori bought 0.25 liters more juice than Maria

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria=750 milliliters×5 bottles

=3750 milliliters

Convert to liters

3750milliliters/1000

=3.75 liters

Maria bought 3.75 liters of juice

Lori=4 liters

Lori's purchases - Maria's purchases

=4 liters - 3.75 liters

=0.25 liters

This means Lori bought 0.25 liters more juice than Maria

The true statement is Lori bought 0.25 liters more juice than Maria

20. A linear function is shown.
horsena [70]

Answer:

g(x) = (1/2)x + 3

f(x) = g(x) at (-1/2 , 13/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) and f(x) will have exactly one solution when they are not parallel (same slope) and when they are not equivalent functions (like doubling or halving all terms).

f(x) = (-5/2)x - 3

g(x) = (1/2)x + 3    <= choose an easy equation.

To find the solution, equate the two functions:

f(x) = g(x)

(-5/2)x - 3   =  (1/2)x + 3

(-5/2)x - (1/2)x = 3 + 3    <= move variables to one side, constants to other

(-6/2)x = 6   <= simplify

x = 6 / (-6/2)    <=isolate x

x = -6/12

x = -1/2

Substitute x = -1/2 into any equation to find y

g(x) = (1/2)x + 3

g(1/2) = (1/2)(1/2) + 3

g(1/2) = (1/4) + 3

g(1/2) = (1/4) + (12/4)   <= find common denominator to add

y = (13/4)   <= the function symbol can be replaced by y

The coordinates are (-1/2 , 13/4).
