Please solve each of the following by factoring!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

x² - 36 = 0 ← is a difference of squares and factors as

(x - 6)(x + 6) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

(b)

x² - 5x + 4 = 0

consider the product of the factors of the constant term (+ 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

the factors are - 1 and - 4 , since

- 1 × - 4 = + 4 and - 1 - 4 = - 5 , then

(x - 1)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

(c)

x² - 2x = 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x² - 2x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form

consider the product of the factors of the constant term (- 3) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

the factors are + 1 and - 3 , since

1 × - 3 = - 3 and 1 - 3 = - 2 , then

(x + 1)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

(d)

6x² - 11x - 10 = 0

consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 6 × - 10 = - 60 and sum = - 11

the factors are + 4 and - 15

use these factors to split the x- term

6x² + 4x - 15x - 10 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(3x + 2) - 5(3x + 2) = 0 ← factor out (3x + 2) from each term

(3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3x + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 2 ⇒ x = - \frac{2}{3}

2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = \frac{5}{2}

The 3 points form a horizontal line: (-3.5,4),(0,4), and (6.2,4). Name Two additional points that fall on this line.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a horizontal line is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through it

so

In this problem, the line passes through the points

(-3.5,4),(0,4), and (6.2,4)

The y-coordinate is 4

The equation of the horizontal line is

y=4

therefore

Any point with the y-coordinate equal to 4, fall on this line

Example

(1,4) and (5,4)

Next two terms 5, 3, 1.8, 1.08
Alenkinab [10]
Guessing geometric
so

hmm
5 times what=3
divide both sides by 5
what=3/5
what=0.6
each term is multiplied by 0.6

so
1.08 times 0.6=0.648
0.648*0.6=0.3888


the next 2 terms are 0.648 and 0.3888
