Find the other x-intercept for the parabola defined by this equation y=2x2+3-2

Answer:
( , 0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is
2x² + 3x - 2 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × - 2 = - 4 and sum = + 3
The factors are + 4 and - 1
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 4x - x - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x + 2) - 1 (x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term
(x + 2)(2x - 1) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x =
The x- intercepts are (- 2, 0 ), ( , 0 )

Answer:
option C
c. least: $101
greatest: $1001
Step-by-step explanation:
A radio station advertises a contest with ten cash prizes totaling $5510. There is to be a $100 difference between each successive prize.
Sum of 10 prizes = 5510
100 is the difference. there is a common difference d=100
So its a arithmetic sequence
the sum formula for arithmetic sequence is
Sn = 5510, n=10 n d= 100 we need to find out first term a1
5510 = 5 (2a1 + 900)
5510 = 10a1 + 4500
Subtract 4500 on both sides
1010= 10a1
divide by 10 on both sides
a1 = 101
so first term that is least term is 101
To find out greatest term we use formula
a(10) = 101 + (10-1)100
= 101 + 900= 1001
greatest is 1001
