​x² - 5x - 24 = 0

First, we have to solve the quadratic equation and find the two values of x that fit the equation.​

x =  \frac{5+- \sqrt{5^{2} + 4*1*24 } }{2*1}  =  \frac{5+- \sqrt{25 + 96} }{2} =  \frac{5+- \sqrt{121} }{2}  =  \frac{5+-11}{2}​

There are two values of x that fit:​

x₁ = (5+11)/2 = 16/2 = 8​

x₂ = (5-11)/2 = -6/2 = -3​

Now I can restate the original equation in terms of a product of factors, with this product being equal to zero:​

(x - x₁) * (x - x₂) = 0​

ANSWER ​(x-8) * (x+3) = 0

Now I can solve each factor by setting each one equal to zero and solving the resulting linear equations:​

x - 8 = 0 or x + 3 = 0​

x = 8 or x = -3​

We can check that these two values are the solution to the original quadratic equation.​

x² - 5x - 24 = 0​

​First value

​8² -5*8 -24 = 0

64 - 40 -24 = 0​

0 = 0 ¡Checked!​

Second value​

(-3)² -5(-3) -24 = 0​

9 + 15 -24 = 0​

0 = 0 ¡Checked!​

​Hope this helps!

Determine whether each of these sets is countable oruncountable. For those that are countably infinite, exhibit
mezya [45]

Answer:

Answers are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) one-to-one correspondence between the set of positiveintegers and that set.

Whenever we have one to one correspondence with positive integers, the set is countable and here infinite.

b) integers divisible by 5 and not 7 ..This set is all integers divisible by 5 but not by 7.  This is a discrete set and hence countable and infinite.

c) the real numbers with decimal representationsconsisting of all 1’s

-- This cannot be counted and hence uncountable but infinite.

d) the real numbers with decimal representationsconsisting of all 1’s or 9’s

-- This is also uncountable but infinite.

7 times 8 help pls I am sorry for a wasteful
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it this way, 7 times 10 is 70.

7*8 is 2 less 7s, or 14 less.

70-14=56

Or, a simpler way:

7*7 is 49(perfect square)

One more seven than that is 56.

These are just two ways I quikcly remember, because for some reason I struggle with 7 and 8 mulitplication.

Hope this helps!

Find the nth term of 1,4,3,16,5,36,7
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

64,9

Step-by-step explanation:

From my understanding the pattern would be:

Every other number is the next consecutive odd number,  

( 1, 3, 5, 7 ) are all of the consecutive odds. (So the next odd is 9.  )

That when we get to the part of where we get every other number for the remaining numbers, if you multiply the next even number by itself (square it).  

4, 16, and 36 ( they are all perfect squares.  )

They are the perfect squares of ( 2, 4, and 6) . So it makes sense that ( 8 ) is the next even number and you would square that and get ( 64 )

I hope this makes sense!!
