Solving (3):


The equation in slope intercept form is:

This gives:

Expand


Solving (5):


The equation in slope intercept form is:

This gives:

Expand


F(x) = x² + x - 20 = x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = (x + 5)(x - 4)
f(x) = 0 ⇔ (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0 ⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -5 or x = 4
Answer: C. x = -5 and x = 4.
Answer:
k = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points are collinear then the slopes between consecutive points are equal.
Using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1)
m =
=
= 
Repeat with another 2 points and equate to 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 4)
m =
, then
=
( cross- multiply )
k - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )
k = 11
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
these are similar triangles
8 12
------ = -----------
x+4 2x+1
using cross products
8* (2x+1) = 12(x+4)
distribute
16x + 8 = 12x+48
subtract 12x from each side
16x-12x +8 = 12x-12x+48
4x+8 = 48
subtract 8 from each side
4x+8-8 = 48-8
4x = 40
divide by 4
4x/4 = 40/x
x =10
