Vikki [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The roots (zeros) of the function are:

x=5,\:x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f\left(x\right)=x^2+3x-40

substitute f(x) = 0 to determine the zeros of the function

0=x^2+3x-40

First break the expression x² + 3x - 40  into groups

x² + 3x - 40 = (x² - 5x) + (8x - 40)

Factor out x from x² - 5x:  x(x - 5)

Factor out 8 from 8x - 40:  8(x - 5)

Thus, the expression becomes

0=x\left(x-5\right)+8\left(x-5\right)

switch the sides

x\left(x-5\right)+8\left(x-5\right)=0

Factor out common term x - 5

(x - 5) (x + 8) = 0

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

x-5=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x+8=0

Solve x - 5 = 0

x - 5 = 0

adding 5 to both sides

x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

x = 5

solve x + 8 = 0

x + 8 = 0

subtracting 8 from both sides

x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8

x = -8

Therefore, the roots (zeros) of the function are:

x=5,\:x=-8

A. (Number of sides - 2) x 100, so
6-2= 4 x 180
= 720° is the sum of all angles in a hexagon
84 + 87 + 128 + 150 + 103 = 552
720 - 552 = 168
X = 168°

2. Angles in a triangle sum up to 180°
36 + 57= 93
180 - 93 = 87
