Hi there!
We are given the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0, and we are told to solve it. Well, we can first take all the factors of 12 -
1 12
2 6
3  4
Now, take the sum of each factor pair -
1, 12 = 13
2, 6 = 8
3, 4 = 7
Find which factor pair adds up to 7, and we can see that 3 and 4 add up to seven, while also having a product of 12. Therefore, since the whole equation has addition signs, we can factor the equation w² + 7w + 12 into (w + 3)(w + 4) = 0. Next, using the Zero Product Property, we can set each term to zero.
w + 3 = 0
w = -3

w + 4 = 0
w = -4
Therefore, the solution to the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0 is w = -3, -4. Hope this helped and have a great day!

leonid [27]
<h2> ☞ANSWER☜ </h2>

The right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute (< 90 degree) angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees... The two sides of the triangle that are by the right angle are called the legs... and the side opposite of the right angle is called the hypotenuse.

An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees. A triangle formed by all angles measuring less than 90˚ is also known as an acute triangle. For example, in an equilateral triangle, all three angles measure 60˚, making it an acute triangle.

State the value of the discriminant for the equation,<br> 3x^2 + 7x + 3 = 0
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

If you remember the quadratic equation formula;

x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{}\sqrt{b^2-4ac}  }{2a}

You can easily extract what is under the root to find the discriminant.

b^2-4ac=?\\

a = 3

b = 7

c = 3

(7)^2-4(3)(3)\\49-36=13
