Step-by-step explanation:
- In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
- In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.
Answer:
One possible equation is , which is equivalent to
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor theorem states that if (where
is a constant) is a root of a function,
would be a factor of that function.
The question states that and
are
-intercepts of this function. In other words,
and
would both set the value of this quadratic function to
. Thus,
and
would be two roots of this function.
By the factor theorem, and
would be two factors of this function.
Because the function in this question is quadratic, and
would be the only two factors of this function. In other words, for some constant
(
):
.
Simplify to obtain:
.
Expand this expression to obtain:
.
(Quadratic functions are polynomials of degree two. If this function has any factor other than and
, expanding the expression would give a polynomial of degree at least three- not quadratic.)
Every non-zero value of corresponds to a distinct quadratic function with
-intercepts
and
. For example, with
:
, or equivalently,
.
