You want to use the reverse FOIL method to break up the equation. (front, outer, inner, last) When you do this, you can simplify the equation down to (x+8)*(x-7). That is equivalent to x^2+8x-7x-56 or x^2+x-56.

For x^2-49
this is a diffarence of two perfect squares. I suggest that this is memorised.
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
so x^2-7^2=(x-7)(x+7)

so to solve x^2+x-56 you want to find out what two numbers add to 1 and multiply to make -56
since -56 is negative we know that the two number are difarent signs so that eliminatess answers B and D.
if we try answer C -8+7=-1 so the answer is not C because we want +1 not -1
then we see that 8+(-7)=1 so the answer is A

The area of a rectangular field is given by the trinomial t2 – 4t – 45. The length of the rectangle is t + 5. What is the expres

aniked [119]

The answer is: width = t - 9

A = l * w
A = t² - 4t - 45
l = t + 5
t² - 4t - 45 = (t + 5)w

$w= \frac{ t^{2} - 4t - 45}{t + 5} = \frac{t * t - 9t + 5t - 5 * 9}{t+5} = \frac{t(t - 9) + 5(t - 9))}{t+5} = \frac{(t-9)(t+5)}{t+5} =t-9$

Factorise x squared + 12 x + 35

Ksenya-84 [330]

5 and 7 add to make 12 and multiply to make 35 so those are the numbers that will be used:
(x+5)(x+7)

Hope this helps :)

A group of 300 housewives was interviewed to determine if there is a preference for one of two detergents. Detergent A was favor

san4es73 [151]

Answer: Using Chi-square.

Step-by-step explanation: To check if the provided data show any differences in preference for the two detergents (i.e., two variables), a Chi-square can be deployed, as it is used to test the goodness of fit, and test if two variables are related.

If the value obtained is less than 0.05, it means that there is statistical difference between the preference for the two detergents.

However, if the obtained value is higher than 0.05, it translates that there is no statistical difference between the preference for the two detergents.

How do i know if a system of equation has infinite number of solutions

Vlad [161]

A system of equations has an infinite number of solutions when after solving the system, you end up with a true statement.

For example, let’s say you solve a system of equations and your result is 5=5. 5=5 is a true statement, but it doesn’t tell us anything about the x or y value solutions to the system. So because we’re only left with 5=5, there are infinite solutions to the system.
