Answer:
f = -3 , 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
8f² + 4f - 60 = 0
Divide the entire equation by 4
2f² + f - 15 = 0
Product = -30
Sum = 1
Factors = -5 , 6 {(-5)*6 = -30 and -5 +6 = 1}
2f² + f -15 = 0 {Rewrite the middle term using the factors}
2f² + 6f - 5f -15 = 0
2f(f + 3) - 5(f + 3) = 0
(f +3) (2f - 5) = 0
f +3 = 0 ; 2f -5 = 0
f = -3 ; 2f = 5
f = 5/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
Subbing in:
a = 9, b = -2, c = -7
The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63. We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2. The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}. It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2. Plug in accordingly:
Group together in groups of 2:
Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:
We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical. We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:
Remember that 
so we sub back in and continue to factor. This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.
The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis. Factoring 
gives us that x = 1 and -1. The other set is a bit more tricky. If
then
and
You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:
±
which will simplify down to
±
Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.

Answer:
y=4/3x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept
We can see that the y-intercept is (0,-1)
The slope is (3-(-1))/(3-0)=4/3
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem wants you to PLUG IN x into the correct equation.
1) f(-1) means -1 equals x
f(3) means 3 equals x
For example g(9) means 9 = x and f(3/5) means 3/5 = x and so on.
2) Now that you know x equals two numbers -1 and 3 you have to plug them into a equation.
3) Which equation do you plug it in you may ask? You must plug in -1 into x^2 +3 BECAUSE the condition next to it says you can only plug in numbers to x^2+3 greater than or equal to -1 and less than 2. Therefore, you can plug in -1 to this equation.
-1^2 +3 = <u>4</u>
4) Now you have the number 3. Where do you think we should plug #3 into? Well you can plug it in to the first equation because the condition only allows numbers less then -1. the only option is the last one!!
1, for x >= 2 because 3 is certainly bigger than 2.
This means any number greater than or equal to 2 has to be 1.
SO OUR ANSWER IS 4 AND 1
