Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Given
x² + 5x + 6
Consider the factors of the constant term ( + 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)
The factors are 3 and 2, since
3 × 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5, hence
x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2) ← in factored form
(b)
To solve
x² + 5x + 6 = 0 ← use the factored form, that is
(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use trigonometry
<u>Let the height of the cloud be x, then we have:</u>
- tan 35° = x/525
- x = 525 tan 35°
- x = 367.6 (rounded)
The height of the cloud layer is 367.6 m
Answer:
y = -(2/3)m - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that the general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + b
where, m is the slope and b is the y - intercept
here we are given that the y - intercept is -2, hence the equation becomes:
y = mx + (-2)
or
y = mx -2
we are also given that the x-intercept is -3, which means that when y = 0, x = -3 (simply substitute this into our new equation to solve for m)
0 = m(-3) -2
0 = -3m - 2 (add 3m to both sides)
3m = -2 (divide both sides by 3)
m = -(2/3)
hence our equation is now
y = -(2/3)m - 2
To see how they are related, let us solve the two equations.
FIRST EQUATION
SECOND EQUATION
Hence the solutions to the two equations are ADDITIVE INVERSE of each other.
