Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x)

= f(x) + g(x)

= x² - 2x + 6x + 4

= x² + 4x + 4

Equating to zero

x² + 4x + 4 = 0

(x + 2)² = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = - 2

Write in point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form an equation that passes through (-1,2) with slope 4.

N76 [4]

point slope form:y-2=4(x+1)

then distribute 4 and simplify y-2=4x+4 , y=4x+6 is the slope -y intercept form

then, move 4x on the left side, you get -4x+y=6 , multiply every term by -1, you get 4x-y=-6 which is standard form.

Help me on this question! Jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn.His father can carry 1 5/7 times as much as jake.

ioda

$\text{ Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$

Solution:

From given question,

Number of pounds Jake carry = $6\frac{1}{4} \text{ pounds }$

Number of pounds his father carry is $1\frac{5}{7}$ times as much as jake

To find: Number of pounds Jake father can carry

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

$\rightarrow 6\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 6+1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}\\\\\rightarrow 1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1+5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}$

Then according to question,

$\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \text{ times the pounds jake carry }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{25}{4}\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7}\\\\\text{In terms of mixed fractions, }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7} = 10\frac{5}{7}$

$\text{ Thus, Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$
