What are the zeros of f(x) = x^2 - x- 12? Please explain if you can.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So our function is f(x) = x² - x -12

We need to find factors such that 0 = x² - x -12

So, it looks something like this 0 = (x - a)(x - b)

We know that the first term is x², which can only be obtained if we multiply x by another x.

Now, we need to find the other terms a and b. We know that a × b = -12

The correct answer would be that a = 4 and b = -3

0 = (x - 4)(x + 3)

We know this because, if we multiply this out, we get x² + 3x -4x -12, which can be simplified to x² -x -12.

Our zeroes are the values of x that this equation 0 = (x - 4)(x + 3) is true. What values of x will make this zero?

4 and -3

what is the solution of this system of Linear equations? y=3×-2 and y-2=×​

Answers

Answer:

(2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

y=3×-2.... 1

y-2=×​ ... 2

Substitute 2 into 1

y = 3(y-2) - 2

y = 3y - 6 - 2

y - 3y =-6-2

-2y = -8

y = -8/-2

y = 4

Recall that

x = y - 2

x = 4-2

x = 2

Hence the solution (x, y) is (2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 1. => Slope = -2

Then the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/(-2) = 0.5.

We have y = 0.5x + c.

When x = 4, y = -3.

=> (-3) = 0.5(4) + c, c = -5.

Hence the answer is y = 0.5x - 5. (C)

The cost to mail a package is $7 for the first 2 pounds and 30 cents for each additional ounce.

Which of the following functions represents the cost to mail a package if x is the number of ounces over 2 pounds?

ƒ(x ) = 7 + 0.3x
ƒ(x ) = 14 + 0.3x
ƒ(x ) = 0.3(x + 2)

Answers

Answer:

the first one

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost to mail a 2-lb package is $7.

The cost to mail a 2-lb, 1 oz package is $7+$0.30(1).

That to mail a 2-lb, 2 oz package is $7+$0.30(2) = $7.60.

Following this pattern, the general formula is f(x) = $7 + $0.30x, where x represents the number of ounces OVER 2 lb.

Answer:

The price of hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of hotdogs be x and that of pretzels be x.

So,

4x+3y = 13.75 ...(1)

and

2x+5y = 11.25 ...(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 2.

4x+10y = 22.5 ...(3)

Subtract equation (1) from (3).

4x+10y-(4x+3y) = 22.5-13.75

4x+10y-4x-3y = 8.75

7y = 8.75

y = 1.25

Put the value of y in equation (1).

4x+3(1.25) = 13.75

4x+3.75 = 13.75

4x = 13.75-3.75

4x = 10

x = 2.5

So, the price of hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.

In order to form triangle PQT and quadrilateral TQRS, point T must lie on line PS which is 16 cm. long.

If the ratio of PT to TS is 5:3 and the total length of PS is 16, then PT must be 10 and TS must be 6 (10 + 6 =16) and 10:6 is the same ratio as 5:3. Another way to think about it is 5/3 = 10/6.

Now you have all the lengths that you need to find the areas of the quadrilateral and the triangle.

Lugar geométrico infinito formado por un conjunto de puntos que conservan la misma dirección

Answers

Answer:

l lugar geométrico de los puntos que equidistan a otros dos puntos fijos {\displaystyle A}A y {\displaystyle B}B es una recta o eje de simetría de dichos dos puntos. Si los dos puntos son los dos extremos de un segmento {\displaystyle {\overline {AB}}}\overline {AB}, dicha recta, o lugar geométrico, es llamada mediatriz y es la recta que interseca perpendicularmente a {\displaystyle {\overline {AB}}}\overline {AB} en su punto medio.

La bisectriz cumple la propiedad de que todos sus puntos equidistan a los lados de dicho ángulo, convirtiéndose la bisectriz en un caso particular del lugar geométrico que sigue a continuación.

El caso de equidistancia a dos rectas paralelas, obtenemos que la paralela media es el lugar geométrico de los puntos que las equidistan. Se observa que, bajo el punto de vista de que las rectas paralelas se cortan en el infinito -se elimina, pues, la noción de paralelismo-, pasa a ser un sinónimo de la bisectriz, donde el ángulo ha tomado valor nulo.

Secciones cónicas

Las secciones cónicas pueden ser descritas mediante sus lugares de geométria:

La circunferencia es el lugar geométrico de los puntos cuya distancia a un punto determinado, el centro, es un valor dado (el radio).

La elipse es el lugar geométrico de los puntos tales que la suma de su distancia a dos puntos fijos, los focos, es una constante equivalente a la longitud del eje mayor de la elipse.

La parábola es el lugar geométrico de los puntos cuya distancia a un foco equivale a su distancia a una recta llamada directriz.

La hipérbola es el lugar geométrico de los puntos tales que el valor absoluto de la diferencia entre sus distancias a dos puntos fijos, los focos, es igual a una constante (positiva), que equivale a la distancia entre los vértices.

Una recta es un lugar geométrico infinito formado por un conjunto de puntos que conservan la misma dirección.

Descripción de un enunciado de un lugar geométrico dado

En este ejercicio debemos concluir que tipo de expresión se deriva del enunciado del lugar geométrico. Recuérdese que un lugar geométrico es un conjunto de puntos que satisfacen una característica dada.

Matemáticamente hablando, el lugar geométrico puede ser definido a partir de las definiciones de longitudes de segmento de recta:

[tex]AC = AB + BC[/tex] (1)

Puesto que [tex]AB[/tex] y [tex]BC[/tex] tienen la misma dirección, entonces es posible aplicar las siguientes equivalencias:

[tex]BC = k \cdot AB[/tex], [tex]k\in \mathbb{R}[/tex] (2)

[tex]AC = r\cdot AB, \,r\in\mathbb{R}[/tex] (3)

Al aplicarse (2) y (3) en (1) y simplificar la expresión, tenemos lo siguiente:

[tex]r = 1 + k[/tex] (4)

Por geometría analítica tenemos que el lugar geométrico debe ser una recta, puesto que [tex]r[/tex] y [tex]k[/tex] representan un conjunto infinito de elementos. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

simplify the ratio 3 hours 1 hour 20 minutes

Answers

Answer:

9 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3 hours = 3*60 = 180 minutes

1 hour 20 min = 1*60 + 20 = 80 minutes

[tex] \frac{180}{80} = \frac{18}{8} = \frac{9}{4} = 9 : 4[/tex]

We are required to simplify the ratio 3 hours 1 hour 20 minutes

The simplest ratio of 3 hours : 1 hour : 20 minutes is 9 : 3 : 1

Convert hour to minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

3 hours = 60 minutes × 3

= 180 minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

So,

3 hours : 1 hour : 20 minutes

= 180 minutes : 60 minutes : 20 minutes

= 18 : 6 : 2

= 9 : 3 : 1

Therefore, the simplest ratio of 3 hours : 1 hour : 20 minutes is 9 : 3 : 1
