Answer:
a = - 2, b = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the values of the zeros into the polynomial and equate to zero.
x² +(a + 1)x + b
x = - 2 → (- 2)² - 2(a + 1) + b = 0 , that is
4 - 2a - 2 + b = 0
2 - 2a + b = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- 2a + b = - 2 → (1)
x = 3 → 3² + 3(a + 1) + b = 0, that is
9 + 3a + 3 + b = 0
12 + 3a + b = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a + b = - 12 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b
5a = - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )
a = - 2
Substitute a = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for b
Substituting into (2)
3(- 2) + b = - 12
- 6 + b = - 12 ( add 6 to both sides )
b = - 6
Thus a = - 2 and b = - 6
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the LHS: you have the square of x, then you have 2 times x, times -1. to complete a square you just need to add the square of -1, that is 1. That becomes
To find the percent decrease from Saturday to Tuesday, you will find the difference between the number of customers on those days and divided by the total number of customers on Saturday.
By dividing this you will get a decimal, which then can be converted to a percent.
80-17= 63
63/80 = 0.7875
0.7875 = 78.75%
There was a 78.75% decrease from Saturday to Tuesday.
