We can solve this problem using discriminant.
x^2-4x-12's discriminant is
(-4)^2-4*-12=16+48 which is clearly larger than 0
This means that it crosses over the axes 2 times.
In case you don't know what discriminant is, its in equation ax^2+bx+c
the discriminant is b^2-4ac.
If its positive it has 2 crosses with x axis, if negative then 0 crosses, if 0 then 1 cross.
Hope this helped at least a little bit :D
Answer:
16.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Each side is about 4.167 yards so the perimeter is roughly 16.67 yards
16 - 5(3t - 4) = 8(-2t + 11) <em>use distributive property</em>: <em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
16 - (5)(3t) - (5)(-4) = (8)(-2t) + (8)(11)
16 - 15t + 20 = -16t + 88
36 - 15t = -16t + 88 <em>subtract 36 from both sides</em>
-15t = -16t + 52 <em>add 16t to both sides</em>
t = 52
