1. "the graph has the same zeros" : so let a be the "triple" root of the cubic polynomial function.
2. So f(x)=

3. Don't forget that the expression might have a coefficient b as well, and still maintain the conditions:

4. Now, f(0)=-5 so




5. the function is

where a can be any real number except 0
Answer:
<em>(a) x=2, y=-1</em>
<em>(b) x=2, y=2</em>
<em>(c)</em> 
<em>(d) x=-2, y=-7</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Cramer's Rule</u>
It's a predetermined sequence of steps to solve a system of equations. It's a preferred technique to be implemented in automatic digital solutions because it's easy to structure and generalize.
It uses the concept of determinants, as explained below. Suppose we have a 2x2 system of equations like:

We call the determinant of the system

We also define:

And

The solution for x and y is


(a) The system to solve is

Calculating:





The solution is x=2, y=-1
(b) The system to solve is

Calculating:





The solution is x=2, y=2
(c) The system to solve is

Calculating:





The solution is

(d) The system to solve is

Calculating:





The solution is x=-2, y=-7
Answer:
Ivan: 4
Caleb: 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 4 Ivan sees, Caleb sees 28. (4 times 7)
Answer:
16x-30
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute 2/5 by 40x and then 75
2/5(40x) - 2/5(75)
16x - 30
<span>1) 3x-2=x+10
</span><span>Now, lets solve this step-by-step.
</span><span>
3x - 2 = x + 10
-x -x
</span><span>
</span><span>3x - x = 2x 2x - 2 = 10
</span><span>
</span><span>2x - 2 = 10
</span>2x - 2+2 = 10+2 The inverse operation helps isolate the variable.
<span>
2x = 12
2x/2 = 12/2
x = 12/2
x = 6</span><span>
Answer: x = 6
2) x + 4 = 19 - 2x </span>
We can solve this much faster
x + 4 = 19 - 2x
+2x
x+2x = 3x
3x + 4 = 19
-4 -4
19-4 = 15
3x= 15
3x/3 = 15/3
x= 5
Answer: x = 5
3) <span>8x - 20 = x + 15
Much faster now!!
8x - 20 = x + 15
-x
8x-x = 7x
7x - 20 = 15
+20 +20
15+20 = 35
7x = 35
7x/7 = 35/7
x = 35/7
x = 5
Answer: x= 5</span>
