The solutions of the equation x² – 5x – 24 = 0 will be 8 and -3. Then the correct option is D.

<h3>What is a factorization?</h3>

It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.

The quadratic equation is given below.

x² – 5x – 24 = 0

Then the factor of the equation will be

x² – 5x – 24 = 0

x² – 8x + 3x – 24 = 0

x(x – 8) + 3(x – 8) = 0

(x – 8)(x + 3) = 0

x = 8, -3

Then the correct option is D.

scoundrel [369]

PH can be calculated using the following equation
pH = -log [H₃O⁺]
for apple juice the hydronium /hydrogen ion concentration is 0.0003
pH = -log (0.0003)
pH = 3.5
correct answer is C

For ammonia
pH = -log (3.1 x 10⁻⁹)
pH = 8.5
answer should be 8.5

Answer:

KL ≈ 1.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos48° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{JL}{KL}$ = $\frac{1.3}{KL}$ ( multiply both sides by KL )
