Answer:
2, -6
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 4x - 12
A = 1
B = 4
C = -12
i used the "X" method to solve for the solutions. i think it's easier than using the quadratic formula but it doesn't always work
for the "X" method you have to multiply your A value and your C value together so 1 x (-12) = -12. that is going to be the top part of the X
the bottom part of the x will be your B value which is 4
we have to find multiples of -12 that will also add to 4
so -2 and 6 multiply to -12 but also add to 4 so we know these numbers will work
i added added two drawings to show how i found the solutions using the "X" method and the quadratic formula
The correct answer is the last one.
No solution hope I helped!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph the points and draw an aproximate line of fit that includes two of the points. Then using point-slope form find the linear equation of that line.
10-(-4)=m(-5-4) is 14=m(-9) solve for m and find the slope is aproxx -14/9 or -1.555. Then do some fancy math to find your y intercept and you come out with an aproxx line of fit of y=(-14/9)x+(20/9). Or you could plug these points into excel and have it spit out a trendline of y=(-1.26)x+(0.467)
