Hey there!

x^2 + 4x = 12

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 12 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0

FACTOR the LEFT SIDE of your EQUATION

(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0

• EQUATION #1: x - 2 = 0

OR

• EQUATION #2: x + 6 = 0

SIMPLIFY IT

• EQUATION #1 answer: x = 2

OR

• EQUATION #2 answer: x = -6

OVERALL ANSWER: x = 2 or x = -6

YOUR ANSWER: x = 2 (Option A.)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Let $f$ be a function such that $f(x+y) = x + f(y)$ for any two real numbers $x$ and $y$. if $f(0) = 2$, then what is $f(2012)?$
marusya05 [52]

<span>Given:

f(0) = 2</span>

So first of all, we let x = 2012, y = 0: 

<span>
Then, F(2012) = 2012 + f(0)

Since f(0) = 2, then f(2012) = 2012 + 2 = 2014.

To add, </span>the process that relates an input to an output is called a function.

 

 

<span>There are always three main parts of a function, namely:

</span>Input

The Relationship

The Output

 

The classic way of writing a function is "f(x) = ... ".

 

What goes into the function is put inside parentheses () after the name of the function: So, f(x) shows us the function is called "f", and "x" goes in.

 

 

What a function does with the input can be usually seen as:

 

<span>f(x) = x2</span><span> reveals to us that function "f" takes "x<span>" and squares it.</span></span>

How do you convert how do you convert centimeters to inches
balu736 [363]

In order to convert centimeters to inches, you use the following equation:

1 inches = 2.54 cm

If you have to convert, for example, 4 inches, you proceed as follow:

4 inches* (2.54cm/1 inches) = 10.16 cm

That is, you multiply the quantity that you want to convert, by the quotient between 2.54cm and 1 inches.
