When you describe a quantity with more than one familiar unit (such as kilometers or millimeters for a length), how can you deci

de which is a more appropriate unit to use? While it is not incorrect to use the less appropriate unit, why do you want to avoid using it anyway?

You can decide by seeing which one measures object better. you want to avoid using the incorrect unit because it can meaure it wrong or it won't be as accurate as the right unit

Answer:

When we use smaller units to describe something bigger, it becomes lengthy and confusing to calculate.

Like, if we want to tell the weight of a truck, it is better to use tons rather than grams.

Because 1 ton has 907185 grams approx. So, you can see the calculation becomes long, if we want to convert 5 tons to grams and it will be difficult to say that a truck weighs 4.536e+6 grams.

This is why we avoid using smaller units for larger things.

one x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (2, 0). use the quadratic formula to find the other x-intercept for the parabola
omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 ways to find the other x intercept.

1) Polynomial Long Division.

Divide x^2 - 3x + 2 by the binomial x - 2, because by the Factor Theorem if a is a root of a polynomial then x - a is a factor of said polynomial.

2) Just solving for x when y = 0, by using the quadratic formula.

x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0\\x_{12} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(1)(2)}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm 1}{2} = 2, 1.

So the other x - intercept is at (1, 0)

3) Using Vietta's Theorem regarding the solutions of a quadratic

Namely, the sum of the solutions of a quadratic equation is equal to the quotient between the negative coefficient of the linear term divided by the coefficient of the quadratic term.

x_1 + x_2 = \frac{-b}{a}

And the product between the solutions of a quadratic equation is just the quotient between the constant term and the coefficient of the quadratic term.

x_1 \cdot x_2 = \frac{c}{a}

These relations between the solutions give us a brief idea of what the solutions should be like.
