Answer:

The answer to your question is: ( x + 6 ) ( x - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor x² + 4x - 12 = 0

Find two numbers that added gives +4 and if we multiply them get -12

We can find these numbers by decomposing -12 in its prime factors

12 2

6 2 12 = 2 x 2 x 3

3 3 now combine the numbers to get -12 and + 4

1 2 and 2 x 3 = 6

and 2 x 6 = 12

Then

( x + 6 ) ( x - 2 )

Answer:

$BC = 8 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sin(45) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$\sin(45) = \frac{8}{BC}$

$(BC) \sin(45) = \frac{8}{x} (BC)$

$(BC) \sin(45) = 8$

$\frac{(BC) \sin(45) }{ \sin(45) } = \frac{8}{ \sin(45) }$

$BC = \frac{8}{ \sin(45) }$

$BC = 8 \sqrt{2}$

H(j + i) - k5 + h when h = 3, i = 4, j = 2, and k = 1 pls put how you did it

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to plug in all the numbers where the letters are

h ( j + i )- k(5) + h

3 ( 2 + 4 )- 1(5) + 3

After this step you will have to distribute the 3 outside the parenthesis. Which you do by multiplying everything in side the parenthesis by the outside number which is three.

6 + 12 - 1(5) + 3

Then you just follow PEMDAS to solve for the rest

6 + 12 - 5 + 3

18 - 5 + 3

13 + 3
