What is the answer to -6n^2 - 5n - 7 = -8
1 answer:
Answer:
n = , n =
Step-by-step explanation:
6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term
product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the n- term
6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term
(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n =
2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n =

Answer:
the graph corresponds to function "D"
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the graph shown corresponds to an exponential "decay" (the function decreases as we move from left to right), the base of the exponent has to be a number smaller than 1 (one). So we examine the only two options that give such (options C and D which have fractions as the base - 1/3 and 1/5 respectively)
From there, we analyze which of the two functions satisfies the crossing of the y-axis at (0,3) which is clearly shown in the graph:
We study both:
function C at x = 0 gives:
while function D at x = 0 gives:
Therefore, the graph corresponds to function "D"
