Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex and focus are horizon aligned, so the parabola is horizontal and the directrix is a vertical line.
The vertex is halfway between focus and directrix. Directrix: x = -4
Answer:
D) bx - a
Step-by-step explanation:
If a/b is a zero, then (x -a/b) is a factor of the polynomial. That is, the value x=a/b will make a factor of the polynomial be zero.
The above factor can be written without fractions by multiplying it by b:
(bx -a) . . . . matches choice D
__
You can also choose the answer on the basis of which expression becomes zero when x=a/b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
x=0 x=3 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x)= 3x^3 – 3x^2– 18x
Factor out the greatest common factor, 3x
p(x)= 3x (x^2 – x– 6)
Factor inside the parentheses
What 2 numbers multiplies to -6 and adds to -1
-3*2 = -6
-3+2 = -1
p(x)= 3x (x-3)(x+2)
Setting the function equal to zero to find the zeros
0 = 3x (x-3)(x+2)
Using the zero product property
3x = 0 x-3 =0 x+2 =0
x=0 x=3 x=-2
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in values
We know that x=4 and y= -8
just plug in numbers until one is correct
4-4(-8)=36
4+32=36
36=36
the answer is A
