If one number is x the other is 15-x so their product is 15x-x².
This can be written -(x²-15x+225/4)+225/4=(15/2)²-(x-15/2)².
The largest value of this expression is when x=15/2=7.5 so the other number is also 7.5.
Let’s pick two other numbers and check their product: 7 and 8, product=56 but the product of 7.5 and 7.5=56.25 which is larger, therefore the two numbers are 7.5 and 7.5.

Which shows the expressions in the order they would appear on a number line from least to greatest?
ziro4ka [17]
17 over 9, Square root of 6, Square root of 15, Square root of 30, 33.
If you make 17 over 9 into a mixed number, you get 1 and 8/9. the square root of 6 is between 2(square root of 4) and 3(square root of 9). The square root of 15 is between 3 and 4(square root of 16). The square root of 30 is between 5(square root of 25) and 6(square root of 36)... then 33 is an outlier.

Simplify completely quantity of x squared plus 7 x minus 30 all over quantity of x plus 10. x2 + 4 x2 ? 4 x ? 3 x + 3
GalinKa [24]

This looks like: \frac{x^2+7x-30}{x+10}

To solve this problem, you'll want to use the AC method to factor x^2+7x-30.

After factoring your expression will look like this:

\frac{(x-3)(x+10)}{x+10}

Cancel out the x+10 because they are common factors, so you are just left with the simple x-3.

Answer is:

x - 3
