Alright, so we can write this as -3x^2+px-24=0 (by subtracting 24 from both sides)

3*-24=-72, so 2 numbers have to add to 72 but multiply to a number p. If a number is y and the other is 2y, that means that y*2y=-72 and 2y^2=72. Therefore, y^2=36 by dividing both sides by 2 and y is either 6 or -6. If y is 6, then 2y is 12 and 6+12=18=p
If y is -6, then 2y=-12 and -6-12=-18=p

When a whole number is multiplied by 10 to the power of 4 how does the placement of the decimal point change
Wittaler [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   The decimal point moves 4 places to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a simple case using the whole number 3.

  3.    —   whole number we're starting with

  3.×10^4 = 3.×10,000 = 30,000.   —   multiplied by 10^4

The decimal point moves 4 places to the right.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Multiplying be a positive power of 10 moves the decimal point a number of places equal to that power. Effectively, the number of zeros added on the right is equal to the power of 10. Above, you will notice multiplying by 10^4 added 4 zeros to the right of the number.
