The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
The answer is 9 by the way. Draw a circle with sixty slices, shade in 15% or 9 slices.
3. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 250) (.145/12) = $19.24
Savings: 250(0.04/12) = $0.83
Difference = 19.24 - 0.83 = $18.41
4. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 500) (.145/12) = $16.22
You will save $18.41 - $16.22 = $2.19 by putting all $500 toward the higher credit card rate.
When you multiply fractions you want to make them a mixed number then multiply the two top numbers together and then the bottom two together. Basically 6 2/3 would become 20/3 x 5/6... then multiply 5 and 20 together and 3 and 6 together to get 100/18... simplify from there.
24 = 2^3 x 3
95 = 5 x 19
94 = 2 x 47
LCM = 2^3 x 3 x 5 x 19 x 47 = 107160
