Hello!

To answer this question we need to find the factors of -120.

The total set (both negative and postive! ) are the following:

1, -120
2, -60
3, -40
4, -30
5, -24
6, -20
8, -15
10, -12
12, -10
15, -8
20, -6
24, -5
30, -4
40, -3
60, -2
120, -1

After looking over all of these factors, we can see that 10 · -12 is equal to not only -120, but when the multiplication sign is replace by addition, it is equal to -2!

Hope this helps.

Which choice is equivalent to the expression below √-12

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of radicals

$\sqrt{a}$ × $\sqrt{b}$ ⇔ $\sqrt{ab}$ , hence

$\sqrt{-12}$

= $\sqrt{4(3)(-1)}$ = $\sqrt{4}$ × $\sqrt{3}$ × $\sqrt{-1}$ [ $\sqrt{-1}$ = i]

= 2i $\sqrt{3}$ → E

A function has x-intercept 3 and y-intercept 2. Which of the functions below could be this function?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

we are given

x-intercept is 3

so,

a=3

y-intercept is 2

b=2

now, we can intercept formula of line

$\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b}=1$

now, we can plug

a=3 and b=2

$\frac{x}{3} +\frac{y}{2}=1$

now, we will get rid of denominators

so, we can multiply both sides by 6

$6*\frac{x}{3} +6*\frac{y}{2}=6*1$

$2x +3y=6$

we can also write it as

$3y-6=-2x$

so, option-D..................Answer

What is the equation of the circle with center (4, 4) that passes through the point (10, 14)? HELP MEEEEE PLEASE

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The equation of the circle can be written as:

$\left(x-4\right)^2+\left(y-4\right)^2=136$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a circle with center $(h,k)$ and radius $r$ is:

$\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2$

In our example, we know $\left(h,k\right)=\left(4,4\right)$ , as we just have to make sure we need determine $\:r^2$ .

$\left(x-4\right)^2+\left(y-4\right)^2=r^2\:\:$

As the circle passes through (10, 14), that pair of values for x and y must satisfy the equation. So we have:

$\left(10-4\right)^2+\left(14-4\right)^2=r^2$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}$

$r^2=\left(10-4\right)^2+\left(14-4\right)^2$

$r^2=6^2+10^2$

$r^2=36+100$

$r^2=136$

Thus the equation of the circle can be written as:

$\left(x-4\right)^2+\left(y-4\right)^2=136$
