Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=2x^2+9x-5
When we are find how many times it intersects the x axis, we are finding the zero's. Set the equation equal to zero
0=2x^2+9x-5
Factor the equation
0 = (2x+1) (x-5)
2*1
1*-5 = -5
2*-5 +1*1 = -9
This checks for the first last and middle terms so we factored correctly
Then using the zero product property
2x+1 = 0 and x-5 =0
2x = -1 x=5
x = -1/2 and x=5
This function crosses the x axis 2 times
The tiles are identical, so you would need them to fit exactly.
if he uses 144 tiles to cover the floor, the area would be 72/144 = 0.5 square feet
this is just one example
The airplane has descended (25,000 - 19,000) = 6,000 feet
while flying (150 - 90) = 60 miles.
If the descent is modeled by a linear function, then the slope
of the function is
(-6000 ft) / (60 miles) = - 100 ft/mile .
Since it still has 19,000 ft left to descend, at the rate of 100 ft/mi,
it still needs to fly
(19,000 ft) / (100 ft/mile) = 190 miles
to reach the ground.
It's located 90 miles west of the runway now. So if it continues
on the same slope, it'll be 100 miles past the runway (east of it)
when it touches down.
I sure hope there's another airport there.
