Answer:
The factors are (x-4) and (x+1)
(x-4)(x+1) = x²+x-4x-4 = x²-3x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-4)(x+1) = x²+x-4x-4 = x²-3x-4
One possible way:
-86+(4*12)=-38
-86 is the number where the diver is. 86 feet below the surface.
4*12 is the total number of feet he has ascended in 12 minutes.
Because he is ascending, so you add 4*12 (or 48) to -86.
The answer is -38, meaning he's 38 feet below the surface.
The diver is now 38 feet below the surface.
Hope this helps.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The open circle means that the point is not included in the solution set, and the arrow pointing left means that all numbers less than -2 are members.
In set-builder notation, each term has a special meaning. The braces enclose the members of the set.
Here's how you translate the notation,

6 pairs of shorts, for a
"s" dollars. A blazer costs 3 times as much, she bought one. The total was 139.50
6s + 3(6s) = 139.50
6s + 18s = 139.50
25s = 139.50 Divide everything by 25,
s = 5.58, which is how much the shorts were. Now for the blazers ;
It said they were three times the cost of shorts, if shorts are 5.58, it is 3*5.58.
3s
3(5.58)
16.74
The blazer cost 16.74
