Question Help! Factor the trinomial completely. x squared + 2x -8

1 answer:

5 0

X^2 + 2x -8
The factors of 8 are 2 and 4, and to get 2x we need 2 and 4 to either add up to or subtract to result in 2.
4 - 2 = 2. We also know this is right because 4 x -2 = -8. So the answer is:
(x + 4)(x - 2)

The production cost, represented by y, of smart phone devices are equal to the product of computing components (a) and the squar

Marta_Voda [28]

The production cost is an illustration of a quadratic function

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

We have the following parameters:

Computing components (a)
Number of devices (x),
Labor (b)
Savings on reusable material (c)

Using the instructions in the question, the equation of the production cost would be:

$y =ax^2 + bx -c$

Hence, the production cost is $y =ax^2 + bx -c$

<h3>Change the subject of the equation</h3>

In (a), we have:

$y =ax^2 + bx -c$

Subtract bx - c from both sides

$y - bx + c = ax^2$

Divide through by x^2

$a = \frac{y - bx + c}{x^2}$

Hence, the equation that represents the computing component is $a = \frac{y - bx + c}{x^2}$

Choose the equation of the vertical line passing through the point 1,-1

natka813 [3]

A vertical line has the equation of x = a

If the vertical line goes through a certain point, as in this case, then the y value is irrelevant. It can be anything. It is the x value that is the one you need to use.

So the answer is x = 1. This equation has no slope that is defined.
