Answer:
the factors of f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50 are (x-2)(x+5)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factorise the function 
If a number is a factor of this function than it must be completely divisible by last co-efficient. Our last co-efficient is -50
Checking few numbers:

So, f(2)=0 which means x-2 is a factor of the given function. Now we will perform long division of
by (x-2) to find other factors
The long division is shown in figure attached.
After long division we get: 
The equation
can be further simplified as: (x+5)(x+5) or (x+5)^2
So, the factors of f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50 are (x-2)(x+5)(x+5)
Product means multiply. I will be representing your number with x
x * 2(x) = 98
2x^2 = 98
x^2 = 49
x = 7
your number is 7. half of your number is 3.5
Answer: b=13, t=29
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting the first equation into the second,

Given a N quantity of numbers, the Geometric Mean is equal to the N-th root of product of the N numbers
In this case, we have two numbers, then we need to multiply them and take square root:
![\sqrt{40\cdot15}=\sqrt[]{600}=\sqrt[]{100\cdot6}=\sqrt[]{100}\cdot\sqrt[]{6}=10\sqrt[]{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B40%5Ccdot15%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B600%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B100%5Ccdot6%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B100%7D%5Ccdot%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B6%7D%3D10%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B6%7D)
The answer is:
10√6
Rounded is Approximately 24.5
