Answer:
One possible equation is 
, which is equivalent to 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor theorem states that if 
(where 
is a constant) is a root of a function, 
would be a factor of that function.
The question states that 
and 
are 
-intercepts of this function. In other words, 
and 
would both set the value of this quadratic function to 
. Thus, 
and 
would be two roots of this function.
By the factor theorem, 
and 
would be two factors of this function.
Because the function in this question is quadratic, and would be the only two factors of this function. In other words, for some constant 
(
):
.
Simplify to obtain:
.
Expand this expression to obtain:
.
(Quadratic functions are polynomials of degree two. If this function has any factor other than and , expanding the expression would give a polynomial of degree at least three- not quadratic.)
Every non-zero value of corresponds to a distinct quadratic function with -intercepts and . For example, with 
:
, or equivalently,
.
Answer:
4/5 of 3 = 12/5
2/9 of 20 = 40/9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. find the area of the two triangles, including the shaded section. the formula for this is a=1/2bh
the height and base are both 24 inches. this is because you add the 10 from the side of the square to the 14 that is given
so:
a=1/2(24)(24)
a=(12)(24)
a=288 sq. inches
since there are two triangles, you would multiply the area by 2
a=2(288)
a=576 sq. inches
now, since you only need the unshaded section, you have to take away the shaded section, which is a square. to do this, you must calculate the area of the square and take it away from the area of both triangles.
a=576-(lw)
a=576- (10)(10)
a=576-100
a=476 sq. inches
that is your answer
