The factors of this expression would be (x+9)(x-2). You have to find two numbers that are factors of -18 that add up to 7. These numbers would be 9 and -2:
(9)x(-2)= -18
and 9 + (-2)= 7
Your answer is C) (x-2).

Answer:

The right answer is C) (x - 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x² + 7x -18 , to find the correct factor you have to apply Baskhara´s equation

x = [-b ± √(b²- 4·a·c)]/2·a where a,b and c are the coeficietns of the quadratic equation, with a= 1, b= 7 and c= -18.

When you replace each term on the formula, you have

x= [-7 ± √(7² - 4·1·(-18)]/ 2·1 ⇒ x = [-7 ÷ √121]/2 ⇒ then you will find two solutions x1 and x2.

x1 = (-7 + 11)/2 ⇒ x1= 2

x2 = (-7 - 11)/2 ⇒x2=-9

Here you have the factors of the given equation.

So, x² + 7x -18 = (x-2) · (x +9).

Summarizing, the correct option is C) (x - 2)

HELP 10PTS AND BRAINLIESTThe image of a triangle after it has been dilated with a center of dilation at the origin has vertices
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

C is (-18, 24)

Scale factor 1 1/3

A is (9, - 4 1/2)  *4 1/2 is also 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When we take a look at image B (-24, -12) and pre image B (-18, -9),

we can work out the scale factor by

(-24/-18) and (-12/-9) both equal 4/3

So using the scale factor to go from the pre image to the image,

We can find C coordinate by multiplying pre image C by the scale factor.

C is (-13.5 x 4/3) and (18 x 4/3)

C is (-18, 24)

The scale factor is 4/3, which is the mixed numeral of 1 1/3.

To find the pre image of point A we divide the image by the scale factor

A is (12/(4/3)) and (-6/(4/3))

A is (9, - 4 1/2)

Hope this helps,

Svetach [21]

Angle of depression = 12.52°

The right angle triangle formed has a height of 200 ft and a base of 900 ft.

The opposite side of the triangle is 200 ft while the adjacent side of the triangle is 900 ft.

Using tangential ratio we can find the angle of depression. Therefore,

Let

x = angle of depression

tan x = opposite/adjacent

opposite = 200 ft

adjacent = 900 ft

tan x = 200/900

tan x = 2/9

x = tan⁻¹ 2/9

x = tan⁻¹ 0.222

x = 12.5166739144

x = 12.52°
