X² - 3x - 10


x² = x * x

10 can be factored:

1 x 10 ⇒⇒⇒ difference between factors = 9

2 x 5   ⇒⇒⇒ difference between factors = 3  ⇒ (The correct pair)


(x-5)(x+2) = x(x+2) - 5(x+2)

                = x² + 2x - 5x - 10

                = x² - 3x - 10



∴ x - 5 = 0  ⇒⇒⇒ x = 5

  x + 2 = 0  ⇒⇒⇒ x = -2

What is the equation for the graph shown below?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Since we don't know the y-value of the vertex, let's do this an easy way: plugging in.

Let's use the y intercept since that would be the easiest. Since x=0, the terms with x cancel, and you will get a leading result of -5

A) results in 2, so eliminate it

B) results in -2, so eliminate it

C) results in 5, so eliminate it

D) results in -5, so keep it

Since D was the only one that worked, that is our correct answer.

One side of a kite is 5 cm less than 2 times the length of another. If the perimeter is 14 cm, find the length of each side of t
Phoenix [80]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

D) 4 cm, 3 cm

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the length of "another" side. Then "one side" can be represented by (2x -5 cm).

The perimeter of the kite is the sum of two sides of each length:

... P = 14 cm = 2(x) + 2(2x -5 cm)

Dividing by 2 and collecting terms, we have ...

... 7 cm = 3x -5 cm

... 12 cm = 3x

... 4 cm = x . . . . the length of "another" side

... 2(4 cm) -5 cm = 3 cm . . . . the length of "one side"

The two different side lengths are 4 cm and 3 cm.

Alvin's age is two times Elga's age. The sum of their ages is 63. What is Elga's age?
lawyer [7]

Answer: Alvin = 42 yrs , Elga = 21 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Elga's age be x , and Alvin's age be y ,since Alvin is two times Elga's age , then

Alvin's age = 2x , that is

y = 2x ............... equation 1

The sum of their ages is 63 implies

x + y = 63 .............. equation 2

Solving the resulting linear equations by substitution method.

Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , we have

x + 2x = 63

3x = 63

x = 63/3

x = 21

Therefore : Elga is 21 years old , then Alvin will be 21 x 2, which will be 42
