Answer:

The other factor is (x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

(x-a)(x-b)=x^{2}-xb-xa+ab

(x-a)(x-b)=x^{2}-(a+b)x+ab

In this problem we have

x^{2} -8x-20

and

a=10 -----> because is a factor

substitute and solve for b

x^{2} -8x-20=x^{2}-(10+b)x+10b

so

8=10+b\\b=-2

Verify in the second equation

-20=10b -----> -20=10(-2) -----> -20=-20--> is ok

The other factor is (x+2)

Which of the pairs of angles are vertical angles and thus congruent? ∠A and ∠G ∠A and ∠B ∠C and ∠F ∠D and ∠H
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

∠A and ∠G is the pair of vertical angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Two lines 'm' and 'n' are two parallel lines. These lines intersect a horizontal line 'l'.

Since, "Pair of opposite angles formed at the point of intersection are the vertical angles and equal in measure."

Therefore, Opposite angles ∠A ≅ ∠G, ∠B ≅ ∠H, ∠C ≅ ∠E and ∠D ∠F are the vertical angles.

From the given options,

∠A and ∠G is the pair representing the pair of vertical angles and thus congruent.

A plane flew for 5 hours heading west and for 4 hours heading south. If the total distance traveled was 3,444 miles, and the pla
Ganezh [65]

Answer:400 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = speed at which the plane travelled west

Let s = speed at which the plane travelled south

Distance moved in 5 hrs heading west = 5*w = 5w

Distance moved in 4 hrs heading south = 4*s = 4s

Total distance, 3444= 5w + 4s

w = s + 39( 39 miles/hr faster)

5(s+39) + 4s = 3444

5s + 195 + 4s = 3444

9s = 3249

s = 361 miles per hour

w = s + 39 = 361 +39

= 400 miles per hour
