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

Rose divided two cups of dog food among her three dogs. How much dog food did each dog get?
schepotkina [342]
For this equations you would continue to break down the fractions as so: 3/4 divided by 1/8 = 6 but to double check this here are steps:
 1st you take: 3/4 divided by 3 is 3/12, simplified to 1/4
then you take 3/4 which can be 1/4 for each dog so you need 1/8 for each dog so you double it because 1/4 plus 1/4 equal 1/8 so each dog gets two 1/8 scoops which is 
1/8 times 2 = 1/4 for each dog and three dogs so they still get 1/4 pound each.
so total of 1/8 x 6 = 3/4
so 6 1/8 servings.

What is the measure of ∠A?
mars1129 [50]
I'm guessing the total amount of degrees is 360 degrees.

67 + 130 + 72 = 269

360 - 269 = 91

Answer = 91°

Hope this helped☺☺

Find the slope and the equation for the line passing through the (-3,2 ) point with x-intercept at x=-4. and how do I find the e
WINSTONCH [101]
Well, the x-intercept is at -4, that means, the graph touches the x-axis at -4, or when x = -4, what's the value of "y" when that happens?  well, if the graph touches the x-axis, the y-value has gone all the way down to 0, and thus y = 0, therefore the point at that x-intercept is ( -4, 0 )

so, what's the equation of a line that passes through (-3,2) and (-4,0)?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -3}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-4-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-4+3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-2}{-1}\implies 2
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-2=2[x-(-3)]
\\\\\\
y-2=2(x+3)\implies y-2=2x+6\implies y=2x+8
