Answer:
a=-8 b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+6x-16
x^2+(8-2)x-16=0
x^2+8x-2x-16=0
X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0
(X+8)(x-2)=0
Compare with (X+a)(X+b)
Where we get a=-8 b=2
The value of the nine digit is 900,000, or nine hundred thousand.
Answer:
C) 16 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
scale is 1:8 so 2 cm^2x8=16
Find rates of change until you find a constant.
dy/dx=1,2,3,4,5,6
d2y/dx2=1,1,1,1,1
So the acceleration, d2y/d2x, is constant. This means that this is a quadratic sequence of the form a(n)=an^2+bn+c. So we can set up a system of equations to solve for the values of a,b, and c. Using the first three points, (1,1), (2,2), and (3,4) we have:
9a+3b+c=4, 4a+2b+c=2, and a+b+c=1 getting the differences...
5a+b=2 and 3a+b=1 and getting this difference...
2a=1, so a=1/2 making 5a+b=2 become:
2.5+b=2, so b=-1/2, making a+b+c=1 become:
1/2-1/2+c=1, so c=1 so the rule is:
a(n)=0.5x^2-0.5x+1 or if you prefer to not have decimals
a(n)=(x^2-x+2)/2
