Answer:

Option : The product of the roots is - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + 9x - 12 = 0\\\\3x^2 + 12x - 3x - 12 = 0\\\\3x(x+4) -3(x+4) = 0\\\\(3x - 3) (x+ 4) = 0\\\\

Therefore the roots are -4 and 1

The product of the roots are -4 x 1 = -4

The price of a pair of jeans was $60 after a 50% markup. What was the price of the jeans before the markup?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an original price p

We mark them up by 50%

p + p*50%

Changing to decimal form

p+.50p = 1.5p

The new price is 60 dollars

1.5p = 60

Divide each side by 1.5

1.5p/1.5 = 60/1.5

p =40

The original price is 40

Can you show me the work to get this answer write two expressions that have a gcf of 8xy
BigorU [14]
1) Expression 1: 16x^3 y

2) Expression 2: 24 xy^5

Procedure:

1) find the greatest common factor of the coefficients, 16 and 24:

16 = 2^4

24 = (2^3)*3

=> greatest common factor = 2^3 = 8

2) find the greatest common factor of x^3 y and xy^5

That is the common letters each raised to the lowest power:

=> xy

3) Then, the result is 8xy

A line contains the points R (-1, 8) S (1, 4) and T (6, y). Solve for y. Be sure to show and explain all work.
Nikitich [7]

Given:

A line contains the points R(-1, 8), S(1, 4) and T(6, y).

To find:

The value of y.

Solution:

Three points are collinear if:

x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_2)+x_3(y_1-y_2)=0

A line contains the points R(-1, 8), S(1, 4) and T(6, y). It means, these points are collinear.

-1(4-y)+1(y-8)+6(8-4)=0

-4+y+y-8+48-24=0

2y+12=0

Subtract 12 from both sides.

2y=-12

Divide both sides by 2.

y=\dfrac{-12}{2}

y=-6

Therefore, the value of y is -6.

Express answer in exact form.
bazaltina [42]
The answer is 5.13 in²

Step 1. Calculate the diameter of the circle (d).
Step 2. Calculate the radius of the circle (r).
Step 3. Calculate the area of the circle (A1).
Step 4. Calculate the area of the square (A2).
Step 5. Calculate the difference between two areas (A1 - A2) and divide it by 4 (because there are total 4 segments) to get <span>the area of one segment formed by a square with sides of 6" inscribed in a circle.
</span>
Step 1:
The diameter (d) of the circle is actually the diagonal (D) of the square inscribed in the circle. The diagonal (D) of the square with side a is:
D = a√2            (ratio of 1:1:√2 means side a : side a : diagonal D = 1 : 1 : √2)
If a = 6 in, then D = 6√2 in.
d = D = 6√2 in

Step 2.
The radius (r) of the circle is half of its diameter (d):
r = d/2 = 6√2 / 2 = 3√2 in

Step 3.
The area of the circle (A1) is:
A = π * r²
A = 3.14 * (3√2)² = 3.14 * 3² * (√2)² = 3.14 * 9 * 2 = 56.52 in²

Step 4.
The area of the square (A2) is:
A2 = a²
A2 = 6² = 36 in²

Step 5:
(A1 - A2)/4 = (56.52 - 36)/4 = 20.52/4 =  5.13 in²
