Answer:
The Principle of Zero Products states that if the product of two numbers is 0, then at least one of the factors is 0. (This is not really new.) If ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b are 0.

Answer:
2. Judy =$5
Ben= $4
Step-by-step explanation:
2. Let Judy = x and Ben = y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Solve these simultaneous equations.
8
x + 10
y = 80
18
x + 10
y = 130
Take the second equation away from the first equation
−
10
x = −
50
x = 5
This means that Judy gets paid $5 an hour.
Therefore, Ben gets paid $4 an hour.
Answer:
3. 24 quarters and 16 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
3. Let the number of dimes = x and the number of quarters = y
Value Value
Type Number of of
of of EACH ALL
coin coins coin coins
-------------------------------------------
dimes x $0.10 $0.10x
quarters y $0.25 $0.25y
-------------------------------------------
TOTALS 40 $7.60
x + y = 40
0.10x + 0.25y = 7.60
Get rid of decimals by multiplying every term by 100:
10x + 25y = 760
So we have the system of equations:
x + y = 40
10x + 25y = 760
We solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:
x + y = 40
y = 40 - x
Substitute (40 - x) for y in 10x + 25y = 760
10x + 25(40 - x) = 760
10x + 1000 - 25x = 760
-15x + 1000 = 760
-15x = -240
x = 16 = the number of dimes.
Substitute in y = 40 - x
y = 40 - (16)
y = 24 quarters.
$1.60 + $6.00 = $7.60
I hope that helped, sorry for taking so long :-)
Answer:
• multiplied by 4p: (x -h)² +4pk = 0
• zeros for k > 0: none
• zeros for k = 0: one
• zeros for k < 0: two
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Multiplying by 4p removes the 1/(4p) factor from the squared term, but adds a factor of 4p to the k term. (It has no effect on the subsequent questions or answers, so we wonder why we're doing this.) The result is ...
(x -h)² +4pk = 0
__
b) The value of k is the vertical location of the vertex of the parabola with respect to the x-axis. The parabola opens upward, so for k > 0, the parabola does not cross the x-axis, and the number of real zeros is zero. (There are two complex zeros.)
__
c) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is zero, the vertex of the parabola is on the x-axis, so there is one real zero (It is considered to have multiplicity 2.)
__
d) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is negative, the vertex of the parabola is below the x-axis. Since the parabola opens upward, both branches will cross the x-axis, resulting in two real zeros.
_____
The attached graph shows a parabola with p=1/4 and h=2. The values shown for k are +1, 0, and -1. The coordinates of the real zeros are shown.

Answer:
Z = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
From the series, we have that:
a = -2
a + d = 7
Hence, -2 + d = 7
∴ d = 7 + 2 = 9
a + 2d = X; a + 3d = Y and a + 4d = Z
-2 + 4(9) = Z
∴ Z = 36 - 2 = 34
