$5x^2 - 45 = 5(x^2 - 9) = 5(x^2 - 3^2) = 5(x - 3) (x + 3)$

Answer: 5(x - 3) (x + 3)

Answer:

Option A is correct

$5(x+3)(x-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using identity rule:

$(x^2-a^2) = (x-a)(x+a)$

To factor completely:

$5x^2-45$

Take 5 common out we have;

$5(x^2-9)$

Apply the identity rule

then;

$5(x+3)(x-3)$

Therefore, the complete factored of the given equation is: $5(x+3)(x-3)$

When y=-2, what kind of line does it have horizontal or vertical

Rashid [163]

Answer: Horizontal

Step-by-step explanation: The equation <em>y = -2</em> can be thought of as y = 0x - 2. So our line has a slope of 0 and a y-intercept of -2.

To graph it, we start with the y-intercept, down 2 units on the y-axis. Now, if the slope of a line is 0, then the line must be flat or horizontal.

So we just draw a horizontal line through the y-intercept of -2.

In fact, when the equation of any line reads y = a number, it's graph will always be a horizontal line. For example, y = 3, y = -10, y = -8 and so on.

Where does the section of the bridge meet ground level? Solve 0 = -x2 + 10x - 8

djverab [1.8K]

In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17

The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
