Solve x² + 9x + 9 = 0

What is the answer and how did you work it out?

Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number a. (select all that apply.) f(x) = 1 x + 1 a = −1 f(−1) is undefined. lim x→−1+ f(x) and lim x→−1− f(x) exist, but are not equal. lim x→−1 f(x) does not exist. f(−1) and lim x→−1 f(x) exist, but are not equal. none of the above

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. if necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. x^2 - 8 = -6x a. –7.12, 1.12 b. 7.12, –1.12 c. 7.12, 1.12 d. –7.12, –1.12
