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)
I would help but am I gonna
Answer:
I will assume that the term "x+2/2" is meant to be "(x + 2)/2)." Otherwise the equation would read (x/3) = x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x/3) = (x + 2)/2
x = 3*(x+2)/2 [Multiply both sides by 3]
x = (3x + 6)/2
x = (3/2)x + 6/2
x - (3/2)x = 3
-0.5x = 3
x = -6
====================
Check:
Does (x/3) = (x + 2)/2 for x = -6?
(-6/3) = (-6 + 2)/2
-2 = -4/2
-2 = -2 YES
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is -5 because we have -2 as x. The function is h(x)=3x+1. 3 times -2=-6. When we add 1 to the result, we have -5 as the answer. Hope it helps!
