The factors of the quadratic expression x² - 4x - 21 is <u>(x - 7)(x + 3)</u>, making the <u>first option</u> the right choice.

A quadratic expression is of the form ax² + bx + c, which can be factorized using the mid-term factorization method, where b is shown as the sum or difference of two such numbers, whose product is equal to the product of a and c.

In the question, we are asked to factorize the quadratic expression, x² - 4x - 21.

In the given expression, a = 1, b = -4, and c = -21.

Thus, ac = -21.

The numbers having a product 21 are:

1*21 = 21,

3*7 = 21.

Since, 3 - 7 = -4 (That is b), we break b into 3 and -7.

Thus, the expression can now be shown as:

x² - 4x - 21

= x² + (3 - 7)x - 21

= x² + 3x - 7x - 21

= x(x + 3) - 7(x + 3) {By taking common}

= (x - 7)(x + 3) {By taking common}.

Thus, the factors of the quadratic expression x² - 4x - 21 is <u>(x - 7)(x + 3)</u>, making the <u>first option</u> the right choice.

Answer:

$25.57

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to multiply $5.29 by 2 because she wants to spend $5.29 on 2 pairs of socks.

5.29 * 2 = $10.58

Then you want to add $10.58 and $14.99 together.

$10.58 + $14.99 = $25.57

Can I get help finding the value of m and n
Marina86 [1]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  m = 35

  n = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary.

  n° = 180° -70°

  n = 110

Opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent.

  2m° = 70°

  m = 35 . . . . . . divide by 2°

What is the exact volume of a cylinder that has a height of 1.8 ft and a radius of 6.1 ft?
lozanna [386]
Cylinder area=height times area of base (area of base=area of circle)

height =1.8
radius=6.1
area of circle=pi times r^2


area of circle=pi times 6.1^2=37.21π
times height

1.8 times 37.21π=66.978π

volume=66.978π ft^3
