If x = 4 is the Only Solution of the Equation x² + bx + 16 = 0
Then the Value x = 4 should satisfy the Given Equation
⇒ (4)² + b(4) + 16 = 0
⇒ 16 + 4b + 16 = 0
⇒ 4b + 32 = 0
⇒ 4b = -32
⇒ b = -8
Answer:
The expression is not factorable with rational numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
They get 2/3 because 2 divided by 3=2/3.
That's Intersecting Secants, and we get
EC × ED = EB × EA
(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5) = (x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 9x + 20 = x^2 + 13x + 12
8 = 4 x
x = 2
