Answer:
x2-5x-8=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Two solutions were found :
x =(5-√57)/2=-1.275
x =(5+√57)/2= 6.275
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2-5x-8
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -8
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -8 = -8
Step-2 : Find two factors of -8 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
-8 + 1 = -7
-4+ 2 = -2
-2+ 4 = 2
-1 + 8 = 7
I believe the answer is A! I hope that's correct! :)
Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.

Answer:
$390+0.07s=$544+0.05s Subtract $390 from each side.
0.07s=$154+0.05s Subtract 0.05s from each side.
0.02s=$154 Divide each side by 0.02.
