Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
Answer:
The probability of the first draw is 100%, because the bead will be either red or white. For the second draw, a different color must be drawn.
So, if draw 1 is white, then the probability of draw 2 being red is 7/10. and if the first draw is red, then the probability of draw two being white is 5/10.
Answer:
D 9/26
Step-by-step explanation:
Out of the 10th graders there are 104 total responses. Knowing we only need data from 10th graders we can ignore everything else. 36/104 10th graders like cats and if you divide that by 4 you'll get the only possible answer of 9/26. D 9/26 10th graders like cats.
Answer:
The multiplicative inverse is -5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplicative inverse means we want to end up with 1
-3/5 * what =1
Multiply by 5 to clear the fraction
-3/5 * what *5 = 1*5
-3 * what = 5
Divide by -3 to isolate what
-3*what /-3 = 5/-3
what = -5/3
The multiplicative inverse is -5/3
