Weird question wording. I take it should mean that this is a quadratic equation with solutions of x = -5 and x = 8. Then these are the factors: (x+5) and (x-8).
So
(x+5)(x-8) = 0 is the equation because x = -5 and x = 8 can make left-side equal to 0. But we expand so it becomes x² - 3x - 40 = 0
Answer:
-1
Explanation:
3π / 4 = (3*180) / 4 = 135 degrees
Since 135 is in the 2nd quadrant, therefore:
tan (135) = - tan (45) = -1
cot θ = 1/tanθ
Therefore:
cot (3π / 4) = 1/tan(3π / 4)
cot(3π / 4) = -1
Hope this helps :)
for the expression to give a positive results then x just be a negative number
or zero
x<=0
