Quadratic is in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0

so distribute and stuff and simplify
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac

(x+2)^2+5(x+2)-6=0
remember order of opertaions
(x+2)(x+2)+5(x+2)-6=0
x^2+4x+4+5x+10-6=0
add like terms
x^2+9x+8=0

You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire.You have the option of investing this money in two funds.Fund A pays 1.2% annu

Let x be the amount of money, you fund in Fund A and y be the amount of mone yyou fund in Fund B.

1. You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire and want to invest this money into Funds A and B, then

$x+y=250,000.$

2. Fund A pays 1.2% (as a decimal 1.2% is 0.012) annually, then $x\cdot 0.012=0.012x$ is annual interest income in Fund A.

Fund B pays 6.2% (as a decimal 6.2% is 0.062) annually, then $y\cdot 0.062=0.062y$ is annual interest income in Fund B.

Since Fund A and Fund B produce an annual interest income of $8,000, then

$0.012x+0.062y=8,000.$

3. Solve the system of equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=250,000\\0.012x+0.062y=8,000.\end{array}\right.$

Express x from first equation $x=250,000-y$ and substitute it into the second equation

$0.012(250,000-y)+0.062y=8,000.$

Multiply this equation by 1000:

$12(250,000-y)+62y=8000,000,\\ \\3000,000-12y+62y=8000,000,\\ \\62y-12y=8000,000-3000,000,\\ \\50y=5000,000,\\ \\y=100,000$

Then

$x=250,000-100,000=150,000.$

Answer: you have to fund $150,000 in Fund A and $100,000 in Fund B.

Identify the factors of x2 − 5x − 24.

lutik1710 [3]

This seems to look like a factoring question. When factoring, one must know that the second number is the sum of the two values multiplied by x, and the third number is what happens when one multiplies those two numbers. Using these definitions, one can conclude that the correct answer is (x-8)(x+3)
