Given the quadratic equation: f(x) = x2+4x-21

Mathematics

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 4x - 21 = 0

Consider the factors of - 21 which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 4)

The factors are + 7 and - 3, since

7 × - 3 = - 21 and 7 - 3 = + 4, then

x² + 4x - 21 = 0

(x + 7)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

How do i write 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000kg in Scientific Notation
never [62]
In order to write this in scientific notation, we must move the decimal from the beginning all the way to between the 5 and the 9
Note: you can move the decimal anywhere you want but typically scientific notation will have the decimal in between the first and second digit.

Since we move the decimal 24 digits to the right, our answer will be

5.972 * 10^24
or
5.972E24

Hope this helps!!
