Suppose you can factorize:

ax^2+bx+c=a(x-r_1)(x-r_2)

Then by expanding the right side, you have

ax^2+bx+c=a(x^2-(r_1+r_2)x+r_1r_2)=ax^2-a(r_1+r_2)x+ar_1r_2

which means in this case, you have to have

\begin{cases}6=-2(r_1+r_2)\\-8=2r_1r_2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}r_1+r_2=-3\\r_1r_2=-4\end{cases}

Plz help me! It’s math!
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

The number line is supposed to show the product of 2 and five, the arrow will start at 0 because 5 times 0 is 0 then it will go to 5 because 5 times 1 is 5, then another arrow will start at 5 and point at 10 because 5 times 2 is 10

The second option points backwards which would be if you were dividing 10 by 5

The third option starts at negative 10 so it shows -10 divided by -5

the last option starts at 0 and goes to -10 so it shows -5 multiplied by 2
