Factor the trinomial x^2+6x-16

Mathematics

For quadratics with an a value (coefficient of x²) of 1, we find factors of c, the constant, that sum to b, the coefficient of x.  In our case we want factors of -16 that sum to 6.
-16 = -1(16) or 16(-1)
-16 = -2(8) or 8(-2)
-16 = -4(4) or 4(-4)

Out of these 6 possibilities, the only one that sums to 6 is 8(-2), because 8+(-2)=6.

This gives us the factors (x+8)(x-2).

podryga [215]

Answer:

36 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/8 ft x 4 1/8 ft = 49.5 in x 49.5 in = 2450.25 in^2

8.25 in x 8.25 in = 68.06 in^2

2450.25/68.06 = 36 pieces

checking for scrap loss:

49.5/8.25 = 6

so no scrap loss
