3 0
X²-9x=36
minus 36 both sides
x²-9x-36=0
what 2 numbers multiply to -36 and add to -9
-12 and 3
(x-12)(x+3)=0
set to zero
x-12=0
x=12

x+3=0
x=-3



the number is either -3 or 12

What are the solutions of the equation x^4 + 95x^2 - 500= 0? Use factoring to solve
Artist 52 [7]
1) given x^4 + 95x^2 - 500

2) split in two factors with common factor term x^2: (x^2 + )(x^2 - )

3) find two numbers that add up 95 and their product is - 500:

=> 100*(-5) = - 500 and 100 - 5 = 95

=> (x^2 + 100)(x^2 - 5)

4) factor x^2 - 5 = (x + √5) (x - √5)

5) write the prime factors: (x^2 + 100) (x + √5) (x -√5)

6) find the solutions:

x^2 + 100 = 0 => not possible

x + √5 = 0 => x = - √5

x - √5 = 0 => x = √5


Answer: x = √5 and x = - √5

This figure shows how to create a six-pointed star from twelve equilateral triangle tiles: (SEE FIGURE ATTACHED) If each of the
vekshin1

Answer:

Perimeter of the final star = 40 cm²

Step-by-step Explanation:

The perimeter of the six-pointed star is the sum of the sides of the 6 equilateral triangles that form a boundary around the star.

1 triangular tiles gas a perimeter of 10cm.

Only 2 out of the 3 equal sides of each of the 6 equilateral triangles form the boundary of the final star.

Therefore, perimeter of the final star = ⅔ of the total perimeter of 6 triangular tiles

= ⅔ of (10*6)

= ⅔*60

= 2*20

Perimeter of the final star = 40 cm²
