X-intercepts
f(x) = 0
4x² - 15x - 4 = 0
4x² - 16x + x - 4 = 0
4x(x - 4) + 1(x - 4) = 0
(x - 4)(4x + 1) = 0 ⇔ x - 4 = 0 or 4x + 1 = 0
x = 4 or 4x = - 1 ⇒ x = - 1/4
Answer: -1/4 and 4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 3-digit number is <u>abc</u> = 100a + 10b + c.
<u>We have:</u>
- 100a + 10b + c - 100c - 10b - a = 297
- b = a - 6
- a = 2c - 2
<u>Simplify the first equation:</u>
- 99a - 99c = 297
- a - c = 3
- a = c + 3
<u>Solve for c by substitution:</u>
- 2c - 2 = c + 3
- 2c - c = 3 + 2
- c = 5
<u>Find a:</u>
<u>Find b:</u>
<u>The number is:</u>
