To factor x²-2x-4, you are looking to answer three questions.
1) What pair of numbers multiplies to 4?
2) What pair of numbers multiplies to 1?
3) Do these pairs when multiplied together, add/subtract to the middle term?
To answer (1), our pairs are 2 and 2, 4 and 1. Since there's a negative with 4 at the end (from question one), the signs will be opposite.
To answer (2), only pair multiplies to 1 - 1 and 1. Let's try both pairs from 1.
(x-4)(x+1) The middle term here is -3x. Nope.
(x-1)(x+4). The middle term here is 3x. Nope.
(x-2)(x+2) The middle term is 0x (or no middle term). Nope.
So x²-2x-4 does not factor.
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use the formula for simple interest which is
I= prt
Where I is the amount of money you earned or pay in interest
p is the principal, the amount you deposited or borrowed
r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal
t is time in terms of years
In this problem, I= 1,680
p= 3000
t= 8
'. r is what we are looking for.
Substituting the numbers into the simple interest formula, we get
I=. p r t
1,680=(3000)(r)(8). Multiplying
1,680= 24,000r Divide both sides by 24,000
0.07= r
So, the percentage is (0.07)(100)= 7%...
move variable to the left side and change its sign
-3x+8=6y
Move constant to the right side and change its sign
-3x=6y-8
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
x=-2y+8/3
Multiplicand is the number that gets multiplied, multiplier is the number that you are multiplying by, product is the result of mulptiplication multiplicand by multiplier.
Let a be a multiplicand, b be a multiplier and c be a product, then
a·b=c.
To check the correctness of the answer to a multiplication example, you should divide the product c by the multiplier b:
c÷b=a.
Answer: correct choice is A.
