help with attached graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4+3i)+(-1-6i) = 4+3i-1-6i Simplify by combining like terms: what do u get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 5+9i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember: (-)(+) =- (+)(-)=- (-)(-)=+

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my answer corect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4-1+3i-6i= If you simplify this I dont get ur answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 3-3i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait I don't understand that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh now I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got confused because in other equations you do the opposite for the other side but these are on the same side so i see now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good deal. do u have any other questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a graph i don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its sideways but can you understand it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not sideways, my bad lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea it is not sideways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when i took the pic it was

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@philo1234

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is (a). But let's walk thru it an see how I got that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you look at the graph and find the x-intercepts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that be the vertex?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or axis of symmetry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope where the graph crosses the x axis what is the x-value there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so its (-3,0) and (2.5,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good. Now x=-3 and x=5/2 is a solution for the function, where we made f(x)=0. Let us find the 2 factors: So, we have: x=-3, add 3 to both sides to get the factor. x=5/2, multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the denominator, then subtract 5 from both sides Do u follow so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what factors did u get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are u having problems finding the factors?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, im having trouble

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-3, add 3 to both sides to get the factor. Factor is (x+3) x=5/2, multiply by 2 on both side to get rid of the 2 in the denominator 2x=5, then subtract 5 from both sides. Factor:(2x-5) So now we have: (x+3)(2x-5)>=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, i see now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was trying to solve the eq. i know how to find the factors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So all you need to do is foil multiplication. It is >= b/c the graph is open upwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any other questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, im trying the problems on my own first but ill let u know if i have trouble

OpenStudy (anonymous):
