Answer:

S=H+2

Step-by-step explanation:

OK, so hailey is the variable H. And she is 2 years younger than her sister.

What is the age of her sister?

So we know it has to be, hailey's age + something? = age of her sister.

what is that +something? it's the number "2 years younger" so hailey's age; which is h, plus 2 is equal to her sister's age.

H+2=S

OK, why do we need to add 2? instead of minus two? Because hailey is 2 years younger than her sister, so you want hailey's age. If you were to minus 2, you'd be thinking that hailey is OLDER than her sister. Because if you want to her sister's age, you would have to SUBTRACT 2 because you are OLDER than her. So if you are younger than the sister, you would add to get your sister's age.

Factor f(x) = 15x^3 - 15x^2 - 90x completely and determine the exact value(s) of the zero(s) and enter them as a comma separated

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$x=-2,0,3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=15x^3-15x^2-90x$ . We are asked to find the zeros of our given function.

To find the zeros of our given function, we will equate our given function by 0 as shown below:

$15x^3-15x^2-90x=0$

Now, we will factor our equation. We can see that all terms of our equation a common factor that is $15x$ .

Upon factoring out $15x$ , we will get:

$15x(x^2-x-6)=0$

Now, we will split the middle term of our equation into parts, whose sum is $-1$ and whose product is $-6$ . We know such two numbers are $-3\text{ and }2$ .

$15x(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0$

$15x((x^2-3x)+(2x-6))=0$

$15x(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0$

$15x(x-3)(x+2)=0$

Now, we will use zero product property to find the zeros of our given function.

$15x=0\text{ (or) }(x-3)=0\text{ (or) }(x+2)=0$

$15x=0\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{0}{15}\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$x=0\text{ (or) }x=3\text{ (or) }x=-2$

Therefore, the zeros of our given function are $x=-2,0,3$ .

Break the figure into a triangle and a rectangle.

The triangle has a base of 6 and a height of 3, so the area is 6*3/2 = 18/2 = 9
The rectangle has a length of 5 and a height of 6, so 6*5 = 30 is the area of the rectangle.

The total area is 30+9 = 39
