Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare what you have to the square ...

(a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2

Your "a" is √(25x^2) = 5x

Your "2ab" is -60x. Since you know "a", you can find "b".

2ab = -60x

2(5x)b = -60x . . . . . . . substitute for "a"

b = -60x/(10x) = -6

Then the missing term is b^2 = (-6)^2 = 36.

Your trinomial is ...

25x^2 -60x +36

9 miles he traveled on tuesday, why? because if you were to draw a line connecting the dots and went to the x coordinate 60 (hour in minutes) on the line you drew, you can see its also at 9 miles on the y coordinate

What are the solutions to the equation 3(x – 4)(x + 5) = 0?

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

x=4 and x= - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we should re-arrange the equation:

$(x-4)(x+5)=\frac{0}{3}$

This is equal to:

$(x-4)(x+5)=0$

Then we can seperate this into:

$(x-4)=0\\(x+5)=0$

So solving for x in both cases we get

$x-4=0 \\x=4\\And\\x+5=0\\x=-5\\$
