Answer:

-10 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Think about what numbers multiply to -20:  -10 and 2, 10 and -2, -20 and 1, 20 and -1, 4 and -5, -4 and 5

2.  Then, think about which of the above adds to -8.  This leaves you with -10 and 2

Answer: 2 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Starter:</u>

Let x be one of the two numbers

Let y be the other number

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Solve:

Given

x + y = -8

xy = -20

Simplify

x = -8 - y

xy = -20

Substitution

(-8 - y)y = -20

Expand parenthesis

-8y - y² = -20

Add 20 on both sides

-8y - y² + 20 = -20 + 20

-8y - y² + 20 = 0

Solve quadratic equation

(y - 2) (y + 10) = 0

y = 2 or y = -10

x = -8 - y

x = -8 - (2) or x = -8 - (10)

x = -10 or x = 2

Hope this helps!! :)

Which statement is true of the function f(x) = -3x? Select three options.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The function is decreasing.

The domain is all real numbers.

The range is all real numbers.

I can't read your other options.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-3x is a linear function.

I know this because it is in the form of f(x)=mx+b.

The degree is also 1. If the degree is 1 then the polynomial is linear.

Anyways it is in the slope-intercept form of f(x)=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing the following two:

f(x)=mx+b

f(x)=-3x

Tells us the slope is -3 while the y-intercept is 0.

If the slope is negative, the function decreases.

If the slope is positive, the function increases.

If the slope is 0, then it neither increases nor decreases.

So since -3 well is negative, then the function decreases.

Since linear functions are continuous and ours is either decreasing/increase (decreasing), then the function hits every x and y value so the domain and range is all real numbers.

All you have to do is see if they are all true statements.

a. 8+15 should be bigger than 17
15+17 should be bigger than 8
17+8 should be bigger than 15

a. is a right triangle

b.11+5 should be bigger than 8
8+11 should be bigger than 5
8+5 should be bigger than 11

b. is a right triangle.

I hope that helped. I’m using a different technique and I hope it’s correct.
