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.

PLEASE HELP ME ;-; ILL MARK AS BRIANLIEST IF ITS RIGHT
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

374.125 students. Not sure if you're supposed to round up or down considering you can't have a fraction of a person, but I would round down.

Step-by-step explanation:

(5/8) (584) = 365 seventh graders in total

(3/8) (584) = 219 eighth graders in total

(4/8) (365) = 182.5 seventh graders who participated in track-and-field day

(7/8) (219) = 191.625 eighth graders who participated in track-and-field day

182.5 + 191.625 = 374.125 students in total who participated
