Answer:

b = 0 OR b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off with, we know that this must be a quadratic equation because there's a "^2".

Firstly, we have to bring everything over to one side of the equation. This means we have to add 3b to both sides, as we want the right-hand side to be 0.

b^2 = -3b

+3b   +3b

b^2 + 3b = 0

Secondly, we have to factorise. We need to see what number goes into both "b^2" AND "3b".

That is "b".

b^2 + 3b = 0

factor out b

b(b + 3) = 0

Thirdly, we have to use the Null Factor Law to find out what b equals. The Null  Factor Law states that if an equation equals 0, then one of the terms must either be 0, or the negative of the other number.

Hence, there are two answers.

b = 0

OR

b = -3

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (6, 3).
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

\[y = (-1/2) * x + 6\]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the given line: y=2x+2

Hence the slope of the line is given by 2

Any line which is perpendicular to the given line will have a slope m such that m*2 = -1

Or, \[m = \frac{-1}{2}\]

Only options 2 and 3 satisfy this condition.

The line is also supposed to pass through the point (6,3).

Substituting these values in the option 2:

\[3 = (-1/2) * 6 + 3\]

Or, \[ 3 =0 \] which is false . Hence option 2 is not valid.

Now substituting (6,3) in option 3:

\[3 = (-1/2) * 6 + 6\]

Or, \[ 3 =3 \] which is true . Hence option 3 is the required equation of the line.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have no idea what to do-
Stells [14]

Your answer would be the last option, D.

This is because spinning the spinner does not affect which marble you pick, as these are mutually exclusive events. This means that if the spinner lands on red, you could choose a black or white marble, and if the spinner lands on green you could also choose a black or white marble.

The only sample space that represents this is D because it's the only one that includes both black and white options after spinning red and green.

I hope this helps!
