a = 4, b = -21, c = -18

to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...

b2 - 4ac = (-21)2 - 4(4)(-18) = 729

sqrt(729) = 27

x = (21 +/- 27)/8

x = -3/4, x = 6

since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...

4x2 - 21x - 18 = 0

(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0

x = -3/4, x = 6

Which equation represents a linear function that has a slope of 4/5 and a y-intercept of –6?

vredina [299]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{4}{5}x-6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of equation of a linear function:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope m = 4/5 and the y-intercept b = -6. Substitute:

$y=\dfrac{4}{5}x-6$

How to do permutations?

PIT_PIT [208]

Permutations are written as nPx where n is the number of total choices possible and x is the number of choices that will be used. This is calculated as nPx = n! / (n-x)!.
Permutations represent the number of ways we can choose x objects from n possibilities where the order of selection matters.
