The two factors of a quadratic equation can be multiplied to form the original equation. Let the missing term be a:
y² + 15y + 56 = (y + 7)(y + a)
y² + 15y + 56 = y² + (7 + a)y + 7a
We can now compare the coefficient of the like terms, either the one with y or the one without y, and find the value of a.
15 = 7 + a; a = 8
OR
56 = 7a; a = 8
Second factor is (y + 8)
Answer:
a) Angle X = 108°
<h3>C). Vertically opposite angles</h3>
as AD is parallel to EH both the angles are equal
Victoria's method is linear because the number of minutes increase by an equal number (15) every month.
Workings in the attachments below. The green line is the function that has been set up for Victoria. The lines that form a curved looking graph belong to the function that was set up for Zach.
The y-intercept, in this case, represents when x is at 0, or when she just began observing.
