Answer:

-3(-3x + 4) = 9x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-3( Ax + 4) = 9x - 12

-3Ax -12 = 9x - 12

Equating coefficients of  x terms on both sides :

-3A = 9

A = -3

Therefore, -3(-3x + 4) = 9x - 12

Which new angle is created by extending one side of a triangle
8090 [49]

Answer: The correct option is (C). an exterior angle.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to select the name of the new angle that is created by extending one side of a triangle.

Let ABC be a triangle as shown in the attached figure.

∠ABC, ∠ACB and ∠BAC are three interior angles of the triangle ABC.

Let us extend the side BC towards C to point D. The newly created angle is ∠ACD.

∠ACD is called the exterior angle of ΔABC.

Therefore, the newly created angle is an exterior angle.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Find a polynomial of degree 3 with real cofficients and zeros of -3,-1,4 for which f(-2)=24​
konstantin123 [22]

\bf \textit{zeros at } \begin{cases} x = -3\implies &x+3=0\\ x = -1\implies &x+1=0\\ x = 4\implies &x-4=0 \end{cases}\qquad \implies (x+3)(x+1)(x-4)=\stackrel{y}{0} \\\\\\ (x^2+4x+3)(x-4)=0\implies x^3~~\begin{matrix}+ 4x^2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~+3x~~\begin{matrix} -4x^2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~-16x-12=0 \\\\\\ x^3-13x-12=0

we know that f(-2) = 24, namely when x = -2, y = 24, let's see if that's true

\bf x^3-13x-12=y\implies \stackrel{x = -2}{(-2)^3-13(-2)-12}=y \\\\\\ -8+26-22=y \implies 6=y

darn!! no dice.... hmmmm wait a second.... 4 * 6 = 24, if we could just use a common factor of 4 on the function, that common factor times 6 will give us 24, let's check.

\bf 4(x^3-13x-12)=y\implies \stackrel{x = -2}{4[~~(-2)^3-13(-2)-12~~]}=y \\\\\\ 4[~~-8+26-22~~]=y\implies 4[6]=y\implies 24=y \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill 4x^3-52x-48=y~\hfill

4x - 1<br> 2.<br> = x + 7<br> Can someone help please?
tatiyna

Answer:

6\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-12 = x+7

4x-12+12 = x+7+12

4x = x+19

4x-x = x+19-x

3x=19

x = 6\frac{1}{3}

And if we substitute the value of x into the equation 4x-12 = x+7,

we will get 13\frac{1}{3} = 13\frac{1}{3} in the end.

Hope this helps :)
