a. (x − 6)(x + 2)

b. (x + 3)(x − 4)

c. Prime

d. (x + 6)(x − 2)

Answers

Answer 1
C. Prime
Pretty sure its C because none of the other options factor to x^2-8x-12
Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is:  c. Prime

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:   [tex]x^2 -8x-12[/tex]

First we will take each given option and simplify them using FOIL method to see if we get the original given expression. So.....

[tex]a.\ \ \ (x-6)(x+2)\\ \\ =x^2+2x-6x-12\\ \\ =x^2-4x-12\\ \\ \\ b.\ \ \ (x+3)(x-4)\\ \\ =x^2-4x+3x-12\\ \\ =x^2-x-12\\ \\ \\ d.\ \ \ (x+6)(x-2)\\ \\ =x^2-2x+6x-12\\ \\ =x^2+4x-12[/tex]

We can see that options [tex]a, b\ and\ d[/tex] doesn't give the original given expression.

So, the expression [tex]x^2 -8x-12[/tex] is Prime.

Range of the logarithmic function F(x) = log7 x is C. x > 0.

What is a logarithm?

The logarithm is exponentiation's opposite function in mathematics.

This indicates that the exponent to which b must be raised in order to obtain a number x is the logarithm of x to the base b. For instance, because 100 = 10², the logarithm of 100 in base 10 is 2, or log10 = 2.

In the given question, F(x) = log7 x.

Assuming log7 x = y.

Therefore, x is the value equal to [tex]7^y[/tex], hence it can not be zero and negative.

Even if y is equal to zero [tex]7^y[/tex] would be 1.

∴ The range of the logarithmic function F(x) = log7 x is x > 0.

To convert 0.36 repeating into a fraction, we get [tex]\frac{4}{11}[/tex].

To convert the repeating decimal 0.36 repeating (written as 0.363636...) into a fraction, follow these steps:

Let x = 0.363636...Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 (since the repeating part is two digits long):

⇒ 100x = 36.363636...

Subtract the original equation from this new equation:

⇒ 100x - x = 36.363636... - 0.363636...

⇒ 99x = 36

Solve for x:

⇒ x = [tex]\frac{36}{99}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 36 and 99, which is 9:

Let $abcd$ be a parallelogram. extend $\overline{bc}$ past $b$ to $f$, and let $e$ be the intersection of $\overline{ab}$ and $\overline{df}$. if the areas of triangles $bef$ and $ade$ are 1 and 9, respectively, find the area of parallelogram $abcd$.

Answers

Final answer:

Triangles ade and bef are similar due to equal angles. The ratio of their areas (9:1) means their sides have a ratio of 3:1. Using the properties of parallelograms, the parallelogram's area will be double the area of triangle ade, or 18 square units.

Explanation:

In the given problem, we have a parallelogram abcd and we're asked to find its area. Given the properties of a parallelogram, we know that angle bad equals angle bef. This leads to the conclusion that triangle ade is similar to triangle bef since their angles are the same. As the ratio of their areas is 9:1, it's clear the ratio of their sides is 3:1, since the ratio of the areas of similar figures is the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

The parallelogram's area will be double the area of triangle ade, thanks to the properties of a parallelogram (it's made up of two congruent triangles). Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 18 square units. The important steps here were recognizing the similar triangles and knowing how to calculate a parallelogram's area.

Third one: (x+3)^2 + 2 (BTW should cross at 11 when x = 0, instead of 12)

Answer:

The correct answer is [tex]y = \frac{10}{9}(x+3)^2+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question is not provided in the options listed below.

In order to find the equation of the quadratic function that you're looking for, you should identify the two points the parabola passes through: the vertex (that is point (-3,2)) and the y-intercept (the point (0,12)).

As we are given the vertex of the quadratic function, we can use the completed square form:  [tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex], where h and k are, respectively, the x and y coordinates of the vertex.

As (-3,2) is the vertex, we have:

[tex]y=a(x+3)^2+2[/tex]

Now, as the graph passes through the point (0,12), we can replace x=0 and y=12 in the formula above in order to find the value of a. Then, we make a the subject of the equation:

[tex]12=a(0+3)^2+2[/tex]

[tex]12=9a+2[/tex]

[tex] 10=9a[/tex]

[tex] \frac{10}{9}=a[/tex]

So, the equation of the parabola is [tex]y=\frac{10}{9}(x+3)^2+2[/tex].

A company has a $150 budget to provide lunch for its 20 employees. The options are to provide either roast beef sandwiches, which cost $5 apiece, or tuna sandwiches, which also cost $5 apiece. The company also wants to use the entire budget. Suppose r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches it provides and t represents the number of tuna sandwiches. Which statement is correct?

A. The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r-t=20 and 5r+5t=150.

B. The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r+t=20 and 5r+5t=150.

C. The company cannot provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is no solution to the system of equations r-t=20 and 5r-5t=150.

D. The company cannot provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is no solution to the system of equations r+t=20 and 5r+5t=150.

Answers

For the linear system :

r+t = 20 and 5(r+t) = 150

If you sub in the first equation into the second, you will get: 100 = 150, which is incorrect

It means the system does NOT have solutions.

Answer will be the last choice

Answer: D. The company cannot provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is no solution to the system of equations r+t=20 and 5r+5t=150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'r' represents the number of roast beef sandwiches it provides and 't' represents the number of tuna sandwiches.

Then, the total number of roast beef sandwiches and tuna sandwiches is equal to the number of employees :

[tex]r+t=20[/tex]....................(1)

Also, the cost of each roast beef sandwich and cost of each tuna sandwich is same as $5.

If company wants to use the entire budget of $150, then we have another equation :-

[tex]5r+5t=150\\\5(r+t)=150[/tex]

If we divide 5 on both sides we get

[tex]r+t=30[/tex].............................(2)

When we compare equation (1) and (2) we get 20=30 but it is not possible therefore the system has no solution.

Therefore, the correct statement is "The company cannot provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is no solution to the system of equations r+t=20 and 5r+5t=150."

what are the discontinuities of the function f(x)= (x^2 - 36)/(4x - 24)

Answers

The function f(x) = (x² - 36)/(4x - 24) has a removable discontinuity at x = 6, due to the fact that at this value the original function's denominator becomes zero.

The function given is f(x) = (x² - 36)/(4x - 24). To find the discontinuities of this function, we must identify values of x that cause the denominator to be zero, as the function would be undefined at those points. Factor the numerator and the denominator to simplify the expression. (x² - 36) can be factored as (x + 6)(x - 6), and (4x - 24) can be factored as 4(x - 6). So, the simplified function is f(x) = (x + 6)/4, but we must exclude the value x = 6 from the domain due to it making the original denominator zero. Therefore, the function is discontinuous at x = 6, which is also known as a point of removable discontinuity because the factor (x - 6) is canceled out in the simplification.

The equation y = ax describes the graph of a line. If the value of a is negative, the line

Answers

The equation y = ax represents a straight line with slope a. If a is negative, the line slopes downward to the right, not down and to the left.

The equation y = ax describes the graph of a line. The & in the equation appears to be a typo and should likely refer to a. The constant a represents the slope of the line. When the slope a is negative, the line slopes downward as it moves to the right on a coordinate plane. This is because a negative slope indicates that as the independent variable (usually the x-axis) increases, the dependent variable (y-axis) decreases. A line with a negative slope is straight, and its steepness depends on the absolute value of the slope a. Thus, the line goes down and to the left.
