Answer:

(x+4)(x−6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring x2−2x−24

x2−2x−24

The middle number is -2 and the last number is -24.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -2

Multiply together to get -24

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try 4 and -6:

4+-6 = -2

4*-6 = -24

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with 4 and -6 to get...

(x+4)(x-6)

x^2-2x-24 = (x - 6)(x + 4)

cause
(x - 6)(x + 4)
= x^2 - 6x + 4x - 24
= x^2 - 2x - 24

answer
(x - 6)(x + 4)

hope it helps

How would you write 1 17/20 as a percent

Over [174]

1 17/20

the 1 is ur whole number....it stays ur whole number
17/20 = 0.85

so we have 1.85.....to turn it into a percent, move the decimal 2 spaces to the right = 185%

Point M is the midpoint of AB. The coordinates of point A are (−7, 1) and the coordinates of M are (−2, 2). What are the coordin

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{ ( 3 , 3 ) }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Co-ordinates of point A = ( -7 , 1 )

Co-ordinates of point M = ( -2 , 2 )

Let the co-ordinates of point B be ( x , y )

A ( -7 , 1 ) $\longrightarrow$ ( x1 , y1 )

B ( x , y ) $\longrightarrow$ ( x2 , y2 )

Now,

Midpoint = $(\frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

⇒ $( -2 , 2 ) = ( \frac{-7 + x}{2} , \frac{1 + y}{2} )$

Finding the value of x :

⇒ $-2 = \frac{-7 + x}{2}$

Do cross multiplication

⇒ $-4 = -7 + x$

⇒ $-7 + x = -4$

⇒ $x = -4 + 7$

⇒ $x = 3$

Now, finding the value of y

⇒ $2 = \frac{1+y}{2}$

Do cross multiplication

⇒ $4 = 1+y$

⇒ $1+y = 4$

⇒ $y = 4 - 1$

⇒ $y = 3$

Hence, The co-ordinates of point B = ( 3 , 3 )

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

Help help help solve for x 2x + 3 /12 = 2x/8

pickupchik [31]

2x + 3 /12 = 2x/8
⇒ 48x/24 + 6/24 = 6x/24
⇒ (48x+ 6)/24= 6x/24
⇒ 48x+ 6 = 6x
⇒ 48x- 6x= -6
⇒ 42x= -6
⇒ x= -6/42
⇒ x= -1/7

x=-1/7~

What is the coefficient of the x^5y^5- term in the biomial expansion of (2x-3y)^10

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of $x^{5} \times y^{5} \text { is }=\left(252 \times 2^{5} \times(-3)^{5}\right)=252 \times 32 \times 243=1959552$

Solution:

The given expression is $(2 x-3 y)^{10}$

As per binomial theorem, we know,

$(x+y)^{n}=\sum n C_{k} x^{n-k} y^{k}$

Now here a = 2x, b = (- 3y) and n = 10 and k = 0,1,2,….10

Now $x^{5}\times y^5$ will be the 6 term where k =5

Now, $\mathrm{T}_{6}=10 \mathrm{C}_{5} \times(2 \mathrm{x})^{(10-5)} \times(-3 \mathrm{y})^{5}=10 \mathrm{C}_{5} 2^{5} \times \mathrm{x}^{5} \times(-3)^{5} \times \mathrm{y}^{5}$

So, the coefficient of $x^{5} \times y^{5} \text { is }=10\left(5 \times 2^{5} \times(-3)^{5}\right$ .

$10 \mathrm{C}_{5}=\frac{10 !}{5 ! \times(10-5) !}=\frac{10 !}{5 !+5 !}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 !}{5 ! \times 5 !}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}=\left(\frac{30240}{120}\right)=252$

The coefficient of $x^{5} \times y^{5} \text { is }=\left(252 \times 2^{5} \times(-3)^{5}\right)=252 \times 32 \times 243=1959552$
