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

Find a matrix representation of the transformation L(x, y) = (3x + 4y, x − 2y).
mario62 [17]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{cc}3&1\\4&-2\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}3x+4y&x-2y\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general matrix representation for this transformation would be:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\end{array}\right] * A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}3x+4y&x-2y\end{array}\right]

As the matrix A should have the same amount of rows as columns in the firs matrix and the same amount of columns as the result matrix it should be a 2x2 matrix.

\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}3x+4y&x-2y\end{array}\right]

Solving the matrix product you have that the members of the result matrix are:

3x+4y = a*x + c*y

x - 2y = b*x + d*y

So the matrix A should be:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}3&1\\4&-2\end{array}\right]

There's 2rows of 8 chairs how chairs are set up use the distributive property solve
Marta_Voda [28]
Since there are 2 rows with 8 in each row, your equation is: C=2(8), where C stands for the number of chairs. 8x2, or 8+8, equals 16. There are 16 chairs set up.

Help plz my teacher won't help
lesantik [10]

Answer:

y = -3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The hypotenuse is on the same line as BC but twice as long.  So extend that line up and it will cross the y axis at (0,9).  9 will be your y intercept.

To find the slope start at C and count  up 9 and to the left 3 to get to B.

So the slope is rise/run or 9/(-3) = -3.

Final equation would be y = -3x + 9

C=5/9(F−32)
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The final answer is D) I and II only

Step-by-step explanation:

Think bout what the formula is

y=mx+b

in this case

the slope of the graph is  

5/ 9 , which means that for an increase of 1.

C= 5 /9 (F)

C=

5 /9  (1)= 5 /9

Therefore, statement I is true. This is the equivalent to saying that an increase of 1 degree Celsius is equal to an increase of  

9 /5  degrees Fahrenheit.

Statement II is also true since only answer that has both statement I and statement II as true is D, is not true since 25/81 not 1 degree.
