Answer:
a) x =3 and x=5
c) x =-1 and
i) x =0 and
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
Given that the quadratic equation
x² - 8x +15 =0
The factors of 15 = 5 × 3
x² - 5x -3x +15 =0
x(x -5) -3(x-5) =0
(x-3)(x-5) =0
x =3 and x=5
c)
3 x² + 10 x +7 =0
⇒ 3x² + 3x + 7x +7 =0
⇒ 3x (x +1) +7(x+1) =0
⇒ (x+1) ( 3 x +7) =0
⇒ x =-1 and
i)
2 x ² + 9 x =0
⇒ x( 2 x + 9) =0
⇒ x =0 and 2 x = -9
⇒ x =0 and
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
The first simplification we can make is to replace 6^0 with 1.
The first rules of exponents we can apply are ...
<em>(a·b)^c = a^c·b^c</em> . . . . . . similar to the distributive property
<em> (a^b)^c = a^(b·c)</em>
This reduces your expression to ...
Now we can apply another two rules of exponents:
<em> (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)</em>
<em> 1/a^b = a^-b</em>
Using these, we have ...
The value of the expression is 9.
Answer:
A: (x = length y = width) x = 2y-3
B: The width equals 7
Step-by-step explanation:
B explanation: using the formula from and the information from B x = 11, 11 = 2y - 3 we add 3 to both sides 14 = 2y and divide by two, 7 = y

22 + 2 = 0.6 x where x = number of games in the season
0.6x = 24
x = 24 / 0.6 = 40 games
So the number of games lost = 40 - 24
= 16 games (answer)
