Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,
Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,
And the second one,
The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3
Answer:
80 and 40 are the other angles

The answer is TRUE
<span>Given the diagram, where AB and EF are horizontal lines and CB is a vertical line segment.
Given that FB : FC = 4 : 3,
From the diagram, the coordinate of A is (-10, -8) and the coordinate of C is (-3. -1).
We can also see that the coordinate of B is (-3, -8) (since CB is a vertical line means that B is the same x-value as C and AB is a horizontal line means that B is the same y-value as A)
Recall that the coordinate of a point dividing a line segment in the ratio m:n is given by (x1 + m/(m+n) (x2 - x1), y1 + m/(m+n) (y2 - y1))
Thus, since FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point F divides the line segment BC in the ratio 4 : 3.
Thus, the coordinate of F is given by (-3 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-3)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-3 + 4/7 (0), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-3, -4).
Also, given that FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point D divides the line segment AC in the ratio 4 : 3.
Thus, the coordinate of D is given by (-10 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-10)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-10 + 4/7 (7), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-6, -4).
Therefore, the coordinates of point D is (-6, -4).</span>
