Algebra 1 homework!asap! write an equation in which the quadratic expression 2x^2 - 2x - 12 equals 0. show the expression in factored form and explain what your solutions mean for the equation. show your work.

2x²-2x-12=0

simplify it into x²-x-6=0

factored form: (x-3)(x+2)=0

solutions: x-3=0 or x+2=0

x=3 or x=-2

Not sure how to explain "what the solutions mean for the equation". One thing you can say is that the solutions mean the equations have two roots/two zeros: 3 and -2, or the graph of 2x²-2x-12 intersects the x axis at (3,0) and (-2,0). 

the answer to the question is a

step-by-step explanation:

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

y + 11 = -7/9(x - 18)

y + 11 =-7/9x + 14

b

y = -7/9x + 3

y-intercept (0, 3)

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
