In this question, we have to factor the given polynominal which is

$f(x) = x^2 -2x-24$

We need two factors of -24 whose sum is -2, and -6+4=-2

So we can write f(x) as

f(x) = (x-6)(x+4)

And that's the required factored form .

Aubrey is making cone-shaped hats for a birthday party. She mistakenly thinks that she will need about 104 square inches of pape

Answer:

C. About 75 in²; Aubrey found the surface area of the cone and included the base.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the questions above we were given the following:

Cone with

Diameter(D) = 6 inches

Slant height (l) = 8 inches.

Aubrey made an error in her calculation.

She found the Total Surface area of the cone using the formula:

Total Surface Area of a cone = πrl + πr²

= πr(l + r)

The Total surface area of a cone is the calculated as Sum of the curved surface area of a cone and the base of the cone.

Where:

Curved surface area of the cone is calculated as = πrl

Base of a cone is calculated as = πr²

Where r = radius of the cone

l = slant height of the cone

In the question, we were given

slant height(l) = 8 inches.

radius = Diameter ÷ 2 = 6÷2 = 3 inches.

Using π = 3.14

Surface area = 3.14 × 3(8+3)

= 9.42 × 11

Surface area = 103.62 in²

Approximately to the nearest inch = 104 in² or 104 square inches.

But this answer is WRONG.

The RIGHT FORMULA Aubrey should have used is

Curved Surface Area or the Lateral Area of a Cone = πrL

slant height(l) = 8 inches.

radius = Diameter ÷ 2 = 6÷2 = 3 inches.

Using π = 3.14

Curved Surface Area of a Cone = πrL

= 3.14 × 3 inches × 8 inches

= 75.36 square inches or 75.36in²

Approximately to the nearest inch = 75 square inches or 75 in².

This is the correct answer.

The error Aubrey made was she calculated the Total surface area of the cone which includes the base of the cone instead of calculating the curved surface area of the cone only.

Hence, from the above calculation , we can see that Option C "About 75 in²; Aubrey found the surface area of the cone and included the base" is the correct option.

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent, congruent sides. The vertex angles are those angles in between the pairs o

Licemer1 [7]

To verify whether the diagonals are perpendicular to each other, we find the slope of each segment and we can see that the slopes should be opposite reciprocals of each other.This means, these segments are really perpendicular. This theorem can be verified through congruent angles present in the quadrilateral.

Solve system of linear equation by substitution -x+y=2; 3x-5y=-4

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(-3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+y=2

3x-5y=-4

in the top equation, we can get y by itself on one side of the equation:

-x+y=2

y=x+2

now, since we know that y=x+2, in the bottom equation we can substitute x+2 for y (substitution method) and solve:

3x-5y=-4

3x-5(x+2)=-4

3x-5x-10=-4

-2x-10=-4

-2x=6

x=-3

since we now know that x=-3, we can use it to find y by plugging in -3 for x in the top equation (you can do it in either equation, but doing it in the top equation is easier):

y=x+2

y=-3+2

y=-1

answer: (-3, -1)
