Answer:
x = -6 x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2+9x+18
Set equal to 0 to find the zeros
0 = x^2+9x+18
Factor, what numbers multiply to 18 and add to 9
6*3 =18
6+3=9
0= (x+6) (x+3)
Using the zero product property
x+6 =0 x+3 =0
x = -6 x= -3
<u>Define x:</u>
Let the cost of the ball be x.
Ball = x
Bat = x + 0.1
<u>The total cost is $1.10:</u>
x + x + 0.1 = 1.1
2x + 0.1 = 1.1
2x = 1
x = 0.5
<u>Find the cost of the bat and the ball:</u>
ball = x = $0.50
bat = x + 0.1 = 0.5 + 0.1 = $0.60
Answer: The ball cost $0.50
