Answer:

The length of side PS is just the distance from point P to point S.

Point P (-2, 4)

Point S (3, 4)

So the length is the distance from -2 to 3, since the y coordinate is the same for both. The distance from -2 to 3 is 5 units.

So, PS is 5 units long.

Let me know if this helps!

The graph of function f is shown. Function g is represented by the table. Which statement correctly compares the two functions?

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph of function 'f' represents,

x - intercept of the function 'f' → (1, 0)

y - intercept of the function → (0, 6)

As x-approaches ∞, value of the function approaches (-2)

Points in the given table is for the another function 'g'

x - intercept of the function 'g' → (1, 0) [For x - intercept, y = 0]

y - intercept of the function 'g' → (0, 3) [For y - intercept, x = 0]

As x approaches ∞, value of function 'g' approaches (-1).

Therefore, x - intercepts of both the functions are same but end behavior are different when x → ∞.

Option (A) will be the answer.

What are the zeros of the function f(x) =(x^2 - 3x - 10)(x + 4)<br> !!Please help!!!

murzikaleks [220]

F(x) = (x² - 3x - 10)(x + 4) becomes (x - 5)(x + 2)(x + 4) when completely factored. Now set each binomial equal to zero.

x - 5 = 0
x = 5

x + 2 = 0
x = - 2

x + 4 = 0
x = - 4

Your zeros are at x = - 4, - 2, and 5. Or at (- 4, 0), (- 2, 0), and (5, 0).
