Answer:

f(x) = x² - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = a is a zero of the polynomial f(x) then (x - a) is a factor

Given zeros are x = 3 and x = - 3, then corresponding factors are

(x - 3) and (x - (- 3) ), that is

(x - 3) and (x + 3)

The function is then the product of the factors, that is

f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 3) ← expand using FOIL

f(x) = x² - 9

Write a number with one decimal place,that is bigger than 6 4/5 but smaller than 7 how can I solve this

statuscvo [17]

Hello!

The easiest way to solve this would be to convert 6 4/5 to a decimal. We know that to convert a fraction to a decimal, we must divide the numerator by the denominator.

4 / 5 = 0.8

0.8 + 6 = 6.8

So, 6 4/5 is 6.8 as a decimal.

See how it's easier now that we've converted the mixed number to a decimal?

There could be many numbers between 6.8 and 7. Some examples are:

6.81, 6.82, 6.83, 6.9, etc.

Choose the correct simplification of the expression a2 ⋅ a3. a a6 a5 a−1

alina1380 [7]

Answer: The correct option is (C) $a^5.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to choose the correct simplification for the following expression :

$P=a^2.a^3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We will be using the following property of exponents :

$x^a.x^b=x^{a+b}.$

So, the simplification of expression (i) is as follows :

$P\\\\=a^2.a^3\\\\=a^{2+3}\\\\=a^5.$

Thus, the correct simplification of the given expression is $a^5.$

Option (C) is CORRECT.

A function h(x) is defined by the equation h(x) = sqrt x-2 + 3. Which is the graph of h(x)?

____ [38]

<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

Given Equation

$h(x) = \sqrt{x - 2} + 3$

Transformation

A constant inside the square root will make the graph shift either left to right, depending on the number. From the equation. The graph shifts to right two units.

A constant outside the square root will make the graph shift up or down, depending the value. From the equation, the graph shifts up 3 units.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

Second Image, the first one where x = 2 and y = 3.
