Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x intercepts are -3,-1
f(x)=-(x²+x+3x+3)=-(x²+4x)-3=-(x²+4x+4-4)-3=-(x+2)²+4-3
or f(x)=-(x+2)²+1
vertex is (-2,1)
so it is an inverted parabola with vertex (-2,1) and x-intercepts (-3,0) and (-1,0)
They definitely can be positive they can be negative and they can have an absolute value but I would choose they both can be positive and negative
Answer:
x = -36, y = 6, z = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
The requirement x/z = -z means x = -z².
The requirement x/y = z means x = yz.
These two requirements together mean yz = -z², or y = -z.
The requirements that z/2 and z/3 are integers mean that z is a multiple of 2·3 = 6. The smallest magnitude non-zero multiple is z=-6 (since we also require z < -z).
Using z=-6, we have x = -z² = -36; y = -(-6) = 6.
For some positive integer n, ...
... x = -36n², y = 6n, z = -6n.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
For simplify the work we can start to factorise all the possibles expressions:
2x + 8.
8 is multiple of 2, so it can became
2(x+4)
x^2 - 16 this is a difference of two squares, so it can be rewritten as:
(x+4)(x-4)
x^2 + 8x + 16
we have to find two numbers whose sum is 8 and whose product is 16
the two number are 4 and 4
it becames:
(x+4)(x+4)
x+ 4 can‘t be simplified
if we look at the expression, we can find that x-4 appears at the numerator so
x^2 - 16 must be at numerator
but the second factor (x+4) doesn’t appear, so has been simplified. This situation can be possible only in the D option
in fact
(x+4)(x-4)/2(x+4) * (x+4)/(x+4)(x+4)
it became
(x+4)(x-4)/2 * 1/(x+4)(x+4)
(x-4)/2(x+4)
