If 4 is a solution to x^2+bx-12=0, then b=?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First plug in 4 for each x:

[tex]x^2+bx-12=0\\(4)^2+b(4)-12=0[/tex]

Then simplify by multiplying out what you can with 4:

[tex](4)^2+b(4)-12=0\\16+4b-12=0[/tex]

After simplify further by combining like terms:

[tex]16+4b-12=0\\4b +4=0[/tex]

Then isolate b on one side by subtracting 4 from each side:

[tex]4b+4=0\\(-4)+4b+4=0+(-4)\\4b=-4[/tex]

Finally isolate b further by dividing each side by 4 to get b alone and find the answer:

[tex]4b=-4\\\frac{4b}{4}=\frac{-4}{4} \\ b=-1[/tex]

B. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5
C. between 2.0 and 2.5 and between 3.5 and 4.0
D. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 3.5 and 4.0

Answers

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of function is 0 at x=c, then c is a root or zero of the function. It means the graph of function intersect x-axis at its zeroes.

From the given table it is clear that the value of function are

x  |  f(x) | Sign

2.0 |  2.8  | Positive  

2.5 |  1.1    | Positive

3.0 | –0.8 | Negative

3.5 | –1.2  | Negative

4.0 | –0.3 | Negative

4.5 |  0.7  | Positive

The sign of values of function changes in interval 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5.

It means, the graph of function must intersect x-axis in interval 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5. So, the zeros of the function lie between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 42%. Part 1 out of 4 Enter an expression for the markdown using a decimal. The markdown is ..... (Answer this question piece)

Answers

Answer:

0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the old hardcover books was sold for b dollars. But the manager markdown the hardcover books by 42%.

The expression of the markdown using a decimal can be represented below.

Recall the markdown is 42 %. If you want to convert from percentage to a decimal, you have to move the decimal point two places to the left . The percentage sign is removed at this stage and the value is represent in decimal.  Or you can just divide the percentage value by 100.

In our case the percentage value can be solved as 42/100 = 0.42 in decimal or by just simply moving the decimal points two places to the left which is 0.42.

1. The budget above was created by Alex to help him plan how he will spend the money she earns. He usually earns
$20 each week by babysitting and running errands for his parents. If Alex is sick one weekend and can't earn the
$20. how much will he earn for that 4-week period (assume there are 4 weekends in the month)?​

Answers

Answer:

Alex will be able to earn $60 for that 4-week period.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

Income to Alex each week by babysitting and running errands:

$20.

To find the 4-week period earning, we need to add the value $20 for 4 times:

20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = $80

OR

In other words, 4 week period earning = 4 [tex]\times[/tex] 20 = $80

But, Alex was sick at one of the weekends, so $20 would be earned less.

Hence, during that 4-week period, total earning = $80 - $20

[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] $60

So, Alex will be able to earn $60 for that 4-week period.

The probability that a foot ball team will win a game is 2/11.The probability that they will lose is 3/11.What is the probability the game will be a draw

Answers

Answer:

6/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 possible outcomes for the game (win,lose and draw) and the total probability for the three outcomes must be equal to 1.

Then;

The probability that the game will be a draw Pd = 1 - (probability that they will lose Pl + probability that they will win Pw)

Pd = 1 - (Pl + Pw) ........1

Given;

Pl = 3/11

Pw = 2/11

Substituting the values into equation 1;

Pd = 1 - (2/11 + 3/11)

Pd = 6/11

The probability that the game will be a draw Pd = 6/11

What is the range of the functuon f(x)=(x-4)(x-2)

Answers

Answer:

The range is [-1, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

The  points where the graph of this function cut the x axis are at x = 2 and x = 4 ,  it opens upwards and has a minimum  value.

It has a minimum value  when x = (2 + 4) / 2 = 3.

When x = 3,  f(x) =  (3 - 4)(3 - 2) = -1.

a system of linear equations is given by the tables. one of the tables is represented by the equation y=-1/3x+7. The equation that represents the other equation is y= x + the solution of the system is ( , )

Answers

Answer:

1). Other line is, y = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]

2). Solution of the system is (3, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table (1),

Let the equation of the line from the given table is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Where m = slope of the line

(x', y') is a point lying on the line.

Choose two points from the table which lie on the line.

Let the points are (0, 5) and (3, 6)

Slope = m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{5-6}{0-3}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, equation of the will be,

y - 5 = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(x-0)[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex] -------(1)

Let the other line from the table (2) is,

y - y" = m'(x - x")

Two points taken from this table are (0, 7) and (3, 6)

m' = [tex]\frac{7-6}{0-3}[/tex]

    = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Equation of the line will be,

y - 7 = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}(x-0)[/tex]

y = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}x+7[/tex] -------(2)

Therefore, equation of the other line will be, y = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]

By adding equations (1) and (2),

y + y = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}x+5+7[/tex]

2y = 12

y = 6

From equation (1),

6 = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x+5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}x=7-6[/tex]

x = 3

Therefore, solution of the system is (3, 6).

Answer:

The first line is 1/3x and 5. For the second line the answer is (3,6).

The graph shown here is the graph of which of the following rational functions

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 100% B

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the polynomial rational function is f ( x ) = x / ( x + 2 ) ( x - 5 )

What is Equation of Graph of Polynomials?

Graphs behave differently at various x-intercepts. Sometimes the graph will cross over the x-axis at an intercept. Other times the graph will touch the x-axis and bounce off.

Identify the even and odd multiplicities of the polynomial functions' zeros.

Using end behavior, turning points, intercepts, and the Intermediate Value Theorem, plot the graph of a polynomial function.

The graphs cross or are tangent to the x-axis at these x-values for zeros with even multiplicities. The graphs cross or intersect the x-axis at these x-values for zeros with odd multiplicities

Given data ,

Let the polynomial function be represented as f ( x )

Now , the value of f ( x ) is

f ( x ) = x / ( x + 2 ) ( x - 5 )

The rational function is of the form P ( x ) / Q ( x ) , where Q ( x ) ≠ 0

So , the value of P ( x ) = x

And , the value of Q ( x ) = ( x + 2 ) ( x - 5 )

Therefore , the graph of the rational function is plotted

Hence , the graph of the polynomial is f ( x ) = x / ( x + 2 ) ( x - 5 )

The formula for converting a temperature,C, in degree Celsius ('C) to a temperature degree Fahrenheit ('F). F=(9C+160)/5 Q:) What temperature is same on both scale.

Answers

Answer:

-40

At -40, the value on both scales are the same.

-40 °C = -40 ° F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

F = temperature in Fahrenheit

C = temperature in Celsius

And;

F=(9C+160)/5 .........1

For temperature to be the same on both scale;

Temperature in Fahrenheit mist be equal to the temperature in Celsius

F = C

Substituting F = C into the equation 1;

C = (9C +160)/5

Multiply both sides by 5

5C = (9C+160)

Collecting the like terms.

5C -9C = 160

-4C = 160

C = -160/4

C = -40

F = C = -40

At -40, the value on both scales are the same.

That means;

-40 °C = -40 ° F

A designer enlarged both the length and the width of a rectangular carpet by 60 percent. The new carpet was too large so the designer was asked to reduce its length and its width by 25 percent. By what percent was the area of the final item greater than the area of the original?

Answers

Answer:

300%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the carpet be L.

Let the width of the carpet be W.

The original area of the carpet is:

A = L * W = LW

The length and width are enlarged by 60%.

The new length is:

L + (L * 60/100) = L + 0.6L = 1.6L

The new width is:

W + (W * 60/100) = W + 0.6W = 1.6W

The length and width are then reduced by 25%.

The new length is:

1.6L + (1.6L * 25/100) = 1.6L + 0.4L = 2L

The new width is:

1.6W + (1.6W * 25/100) = 1.6W + 0.4W = 2W

The new area will be:

A = 2L * 2W = 4LW

To find the percentage increase in the area, we subtract the original area from the new area and divide by the original area:

4LW - LW = 3LW

% increase is:

[tex]\frac{3LW}{LW} * 100[/tex] = 300%

The area of the final item is 300% greater than the original item.

How many 5 pound bags did the grocery store package?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pat's Potato farm grew 490 pounds of potatoes. If Pat delivered 3/7 of the potatoes to the vegi stand, it means that the number of pounds of potatoes that pat delivered to the vergi store is

3/7 × 490 = 210 pounds

The owner of the vegi stand delivered 2/3 of the potatoes he bought to the grocery store. It means that the amount delivered to the grocery store is

2/3 × 210 = 140

If half of the delivered potatoes was packaged in bags of 5 pounds each, it means that the amount of potatoes packaged in the bags is 140/2 = 70 pounds.

The number of bags of 5 pounds that the grocery store packaged is

70/5 = 14 bags
