Answer:

(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x - 24

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 6 and - 4, since

6 × - 4 = - 24 and 6 - 4 = + 2, thus

x² + 2x - 24 = (x + 6)(x - 4) ← in factored form

Thus the other factor is (x - 4)

Estimate the product of 12.95 and 5.2

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the intent of the question is to estimate, I would say do so through rounding. 12.95 is basically 13 and 5.2 is basically 5. So 13 x 5 = 65 would be a good estimate.
