Answer:
The graph does not intercept the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
When the discriminant is positive, it means that in the quadratic equation, you <em>can</em> take the square root of this number and end up with two distinct solutions, one negative and one positive. The graph will intercept the x-axis twice.
When the discriminant is zero, it means that you won't be taking the square root of any number in the quadratic equation and you'll end up with two solutions that are equal, or just one distinct solution. The graph will intercept the x-axis once.
When the discriminant is negative, it means that the quadratic has no real solutions, meaning that it does not intercept the x-axis. It is impossible to take the square root of a negative number.
I hope this helps!
4x^2 + 5x - 6 = (4x - 3) (x + 2)
You can do it by using the quadratic function to solve 4x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0; the result will be x = 3/4 and x = -2
Then you have to make (x- 3/4) = 0 and (x +2 ) = 0
When you develop x - 3/4 = 0 you get 4x -3 = 0, which means that 4x - 3 is a factor. The other factor is directly x + 2.
Answer: option b: (4x -3)(x + 2)
Here are some things you should know when solving algebraic equations.
If you add an expression to both sides of an equation, the resulting equation will have the same solution set as the original equation. In other words, they will be equivalent. This is true for all operations. As long both sides are treated the same, the equation will stay balanced.
You will also need to know how to combine like terms. But what are like terms to begin with? Like terms are defined as two terms having the same variable(s) (or lack thereof) and are raised to the same power. In mathematics, something raised to the first power stays the same. So, 5x and 10x are like terms because they both have the same variable and are raised to the first power. You don’t see the exponents because it doesn’t change the value of the terms.
To combine like terms, simplify add the coefficients and keep the common variable(s) and exponent.
The distributive property is another important rule you will need to understand.
The distributive property is used mostly for simplifying parentheses in expressions/equations.
For example, how would you get rid of the parentheses here?
6(x + 1)
If there wasn’t an unknown in between the parentheses, you could just add then multiply. That is what the distributive property solves. The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac
So, now we can simplify our expression.
6(x + 1) = 6x + 6
Now let's solve your equation.
9v = 8 + v
8v = 8 <-- Subtract v from each side
v = 1 <-- Divide both sides by 8
So, v is equal to 1.
Answer:
-7 and 9!
Step-by-step explanation:
To get to the sum of 2 you add -7 and 9.
To get to the diffrence of -16 you minus -7 and 9.
