- Zero Product Property: if a × b = 0, then either a or b = 0 or both a and b = 0.
(Make sure to set f(x) to zero)
So for this equation, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -5x^2 and a sum of 4x? That would be 5x and -x. Replace 4x with 5x - x:
Next, factor 5x^2 + 5x and -x - 1 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside:
Now you can rewrite the equation as:
Now apply zero product property to the factors to solve for x:
<u>The x-intercepts are (1/5 ,0) and (-1,0).</u>
Answer:
[-4,5]
Step-by-step explanation:
you look on the starting point and the ending point of the y-axis ( you always start with the smallest value)
Answer:
The black tulle is the better buy
Step-by-step explanation:
You will need to find the unit rate for the tulle...in other words cost per 1 yard to see which is the better buy.
You also need to make sure they are in the same units. So, we will convert the 3 yards to feet....which will be 9 feet
5.63/9 = 0.62555 per foot
3.58/6 = 0.59666 per foot
To find the y-intercept, we set x=0 and solve for y.
