Answer:
- x = -1/2(1 +√21) ≈ -2.79129
- x = -1/2(1 -√21) ≈ 1.79129
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the middle term is supposed to be 4x.
We can remove a common factor of 4 to simplify this a bit.
x^2 +x -5 = 0
This is of the form
ax^2 +bx +c = 0
where a=1, b=1, c=-5.
__
The <em>quadratic formula</em> gives the solutions as ...
Filling in the given coefficients, we have ...
x = (-1 ±√(1^2 -4·1·(-5)))/(2·1)
x = (-1±√21)/2
The solutions are x = -1/2(1 +√21) and -1/2(1 -√21).
_____
<em>If what you wrote is what you intend</em>, then the equation simplifies to 4x^2 -16 = 0.
Dividing by 4 and factoring the difference of squares gives ...
x^2 -4 = 0
(x -2)(x +2) = 0
These factors are zero (hence their product is 0) for the values x = 2 and x = -2.
The solutions are x=2 and x=-2.

Answer: C) 3</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
f(x) is the outer function, so the final output -8 corresponds to f(x)
We see that f(-4) = -8 in the first column of the table. I'm starting with the output and working my way backward to get the input. So we started with -8 and worked back to -4.
Then we move to the g(x) function to follow the same pattern: start with the output and move to the input. We start at -4 in the g(x) bubble and move to 3 in the x bubble.
In short, g(3) = -4
So,
f(g(x)) = f(g(3)) = f(-4) = -8
We see that x = 3 leads to f(g(x)) = -8
Answer:
Parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts. If you multiply the top equation by 2, you get:
2(12x + 4y = 16)
24x + 8y = 32
This shows that both lines have the same slope, but then you find the y-intercepts, they are different:
1st equation y-int = 4
2nd equation y-int = 9/2 or 4.5
