Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function
f(x) = (x + 6)(x - 3)? THE ANSWER IS D.
Answer:
(4, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of interest is ...
P = (2Z +1Y)/(2+1) = ((2·3+6)/3, (2·9+3)/3)
P = (4, 7)
__
The point that divides the segment into the ratio a:b is the weighted average of the endpoints, with the weights being "b" and "a". The weight of the first end point corresponds to the length of the far end of the segment.
Plot the points on a graph. Connect the dots into a triangle. See that the height of the triangle is from y=5 down to y=1. So the height is 4 units.
Area of a triangle: A = (1/2)BH
You need to find the length of the base. Which is from point (-4,1) to (0,1). You can use the distance formula r just see from the graph that the base is 4 units.
A = (1/2)(4)(4)
A = 8
** Distance formula fyi
d² = (X-x)² + (Y-y)²
with points (X,Y) and (x,y)
