To factor out you have to think what multiples to AC and adds to B.
Ax^2+Bx+C
So... for this problem AxC=1x-24 or -24
B is -2.
So what two numbers multiply to -24: -3x8, -8x3, -4x6, -6x4, -2x12, -12x2.
Out of these, which adds to -2: -6+4=-2.
So the factors are (d-6)(d+4)
OR the longer way, which you really only use if A is not equal to 1.
Use the terms above and then rewrite the equation with two middle terms: d^2+4d-6d-24
Group the terms by using addition: (d^2+4d)+(6d-24)
Find what they have in common and factor it out. For the first, it's d. They both have d. So: d(d+4)
To check this, distribute the d. It should equal the first set lf parenthesis.
For the second, they have a number in common. 6 is a multiple of 24 so you can take that out: -6(d+4)
If the terms inside the parenthesis are the same, that's good. It means we can pair the insides and the outsides together to form the factors.
The two terms outside the parenthesis: d, -6 group together and become (d-6)
The inside terms stay the same: (d+4)
(d-6)(d+4)
Again, this is the longer way and no necessary for a problem like this. But if it was 2d^2, then this would be perfecf.

x= 999
Answer:
C = 20 + 0.001x
C = $20 + $0.001x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of minutes spent talking on the phone.
Given;
Fixed monthly charge F = $20
Charge per 10 minutes V = $0.01
Charge per minute = V/10 = $0.01/10 = $0.001
The equation to model the cost of a monthly cell phone bill;
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
C = F + (V/10)x
Substituting the values;
C = 20 + 0.001x
Answer:
Part A
71°
Part B
The ladder is been used safely
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
We solve the above question using Trigonometric function of Cosine
cos x = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Adjacent = The distance between the house and the bottom of the ladder = 4 feet
Hypotenuse = Length of the ladder = 12 feet
x = Angle
Hence:
cos x = 4/12
cos x = 1/3
x = arc cos (1/3)
x = 70.528779366°
Approximately to the nearest degree
= 71°
Part B
According to the manufacturer, if the angle the ladder forms with the ground, x, is between 70° and 75°, then it meets safety standards. Is this ladder being used safely?
Angle x = 71°
Therefore, the ladder is been used safely
