The given trinomial can be factored using factorization as
x²-x-12
=x²-4x+3x-12
=x(x-4)+3(x-4)
=(x-4)(x+3)
Thus x-4 and x+3 are the factors of the given trinomial. From these we can see x+3 is listed in option A
So the answer to this question is Option A
Are you taking the state test-
Mark owes sally 85.00$ he finds 14 friends to help him pay her back. How much does each friend need to pay? (This includes mark)
Y-intercept = -13
x-intercept = 2.6 or 2 3/5
-13 is the y-intercept. In the equation, y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept. Looking at the equation, y=5x-13, we can see that -13 is in the place of b, therefore -13 is the y-intercept.
() is the x-intercept. To find the x-intercept, you need to replace values into the equation. Since the coordinates for the x-intercept consist of y being 0, you must replace y in the equation. with 0.
0=5x-13
Get rid of the -13 by adding it onto both sides. -13 is negative and the opposite of a negative is positive, thus making you add to get rid of -13.
0=5x-13
+13 +13
13=5x
Now you divide 5 from both sides to get rid of 5. The opposite of multiplication is division, so you must divide the 5 from 5x to isolate the x.
13/5=5x/5
2.6 or 2 3/5=x
Therefore the coordinates (2.6,0) represent the x-intercept, or just 2.6.
I hope this helped.
