To get the x-intercepts of the function, f(x) = 4x2 – 24x + 20
It has to be equated to zero and the values of x are the x-intercepts. So,
4x2 – 24x + 20 = 0
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation which can be solved by different methods. The solution is
x = 5, 1
The average therefore is:
(1+5/)2 = 3
You have 2 options.
I will show you the most efficient one, but later I will tell you the other.
-4x+6y=12
6y=4x+12
y=4/6x+12
y=2/3x+12
This tells us the point (0,12) as 12 is where it meets the y-axis (that is why you add it)
And then using the slope, 2/3 we can get (2,15) (which is up 3, right 2)
Just graph those, I would show you exactly, but I cannot add attachments sadly.
The other way (which I won’t show it all as the results would end out with the same line) is to fill in x, then y, with 0
So -4*0+6y=12 which means x=0 and you are solving for y and -4x+6*0=12 which means y=0 and you are solving for x
The answer is a and remember to use the pythagorean theorem to answer these questions. The numbers are usually listed leg, leg, hypotenuse.
You use parenthesis to tell the difference between to groups of numbers
