Write the equatoin of a graph that has Roots of x={-2,0,4} and has a point of (-1,10)

Mathematics

zheka24 [161]2 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

to have "roots" means that the function delivers 0 as function result for these values of x.

so,

f(x) = 0 for x = -2, x = 0 and x = 4

we can build this function as a product of factors.

each factor is an expression of x that turns 0 for the given value of x.

what is the simplest expression of x that turns 0, when x = -2 ?

well : x + 2

as you can easily see, this is 0, when x = -2.

and the easiest existing of x that is 0, when x = 0 ?

totally simple : just x.

and then x - 4 for x = 4

so, our function is

f(x) = x(x + 2)(x - 4)

but : this is one of infinite possibilities.

let's see what happens, if we use the x coordinate (-1) of the given point (-1, 10).

we know, the result must be 10.

-1×(-1 + 2)(-1 - 4) = -1×1×-5 = 5

aha ! so, in order to get 10 instead of just 5 we must multiply the whole thing by 2.

as n×0 is always still 0, this does not change our 0 points (or roots).

so, our full function is :

f(x) = 2x(x + 2)(x - 4)

or, if you need the function as a polynomial, we need to do the multiplications :

f(x) = 2x(x² - 4x + 2x - 8) = 2x(x² - 2x - 8) = 2x³ - 4x² - 16x

Chris bought six pounds of apples for 10.80. How much would 15 pounds of apples cost at the same price per pound?
love history [14]

Answer: $27

Step-by-step explanation: First we would like to know how much it costs per pound of apples. To find that out simply divide 10.80 by 6 to find the price for one pound. 10.80/6 = $1.80 per pound of apples.

Now, we want to find out how much 15 pounds of apples cost. Simply multiply 1.80 x 15 to find the price of 15 pounds of apples. 1.80 x 15 = $27 for 15 pounds of apples.

Help I'm not sure if this is the answer?<br><br> (This question is about trigonometric ratios)
dem82 [27]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b) 15.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use your triangle sense to answer this.

The side x will always be shorter than the hypotenuse, 20. This eliminates the last two choices.

If the angle is 45°, then the sides are equal at about 0.707 times the length of the hypotenuse. That would make them 0.707×20 = 14.14. Since the angle is greater than 45°, the opposite side will be greater than 14.14. Only one answer choice fits between 14 and 20: the second choice -- 15.32.

__

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(50°) = x/20

  x = 20×sin(50°) . . . . multiply by 20 to find x

  x ≈ 15.32 . . . . . . . . . use your calculator to evaluate

__

The attachment is intended to show how the triangle side lengths change with angle.

What is the value of RT or x
Anna007 [38]

Write and solve an equation of ratios:


x 9

---- = ----

16 x


Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)


Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or

x= plus or minus 12


Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
