Solve by factorising x^2 + 8x + 15 = 0

Mathematics

Nutka1998 [239]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 8x + 15 = 0

x² + 5x + 3x + 15 = 0

x x (x + 5) + 3x + 15 = 0

xx (x + 5) +3 (x + 5) = 0

(x + 5) × (x + 3) = 0 → x + 5 = 0       x + 3 = 0

x = -5

x + 3 = 0

x = -5

x = -3

x1 = -5

x2 = -3

Hope this helped ! :)

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use Division Distributive Property: (x/y)^a = x^a/y^a.

\frac{1}{ {27}^{x - 8} }  = 27

2) Multiply both sides by 27^x - 8.

1 =  {27} \times 27^{1 + x  - 8}

3) Use the product rule: x^a x^b = x^a+b.

1 =  {27}^{1 + x - 8}

4) Simplify 1 + x - 8 to x - 7.

1  =  {27}^{x - 7}

5) Use Definition of Common Logarithm: b^a = x if and only if log<u>b</u><u> </u>(x) = a.

log_{27}1 = x - 7

6) Use Change of Base Rule.

\frac{ log_1  }{  log{27} }  = x - 7

7) Use rule of 1: log 1 = 0.

\frac{0}{ log_{27}}  = x - 7

8) Simplify 0/log_27 to 0.

0 = x - 7

9) Add 7 to both sides.

7 = x

10) Switch sides.

x = 7

<u>Therefor</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>7</u><u>.</u>

It would be 20
To get this answer you would add up all the answer then divide it by how many numbers there are
18+23+10+39+22+17+16+15= 160
160/8 = 20
