How do you factor completely x square+5x-6

2 answers:

6 0

You find two numbers that add up to the 5 and multiply to the -6 .

It looks like 6 and -1 can do the job ...

      adding: 6 + (-1) = 5
      multiplying:    6 x (-1) = -6 .

See ? OK. So now, the factors of the expression are

   ==> (x plus one of the numbers)
and
   ==> (x plus the other number).

   (x + 6) (x - 1) = x² + 5x - 6

I'm assuming the "squared" is x^2+5x-6 in which case the answer is (x+6)(x-1)

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-4,1) and (4,3).

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

An equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-4,1) and (4,3) will be:

$y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(-4,1)

(4,3)

Finding the slope between the points (-4,1) and (4,3)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-4,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:3\right)$

$m=\frac{3-1}{4-\left(-4\right)}$

Refine

$m=\frac{1}{4}$

Point slope form:

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where

m is the slope of the line

(x₁, y₁) is the point

in our case,

m = 1/4

(x₁, y₁) = (-4,1)

substituting the values m = 1/4 and the point (-4,1) in the point slope form of line equation.

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)$

$y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Thus, an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-4,1) and (4,3) will be:

$y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Solve x. 10(2x - 4) = 100x

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 10. it will be 20x-40=100x. Subtract 20x from both sides. it will be 40=80x. Divide by 80 to leave the x by itself. x=40/80...in simplify form....its 1/2

What is 999+999+999+23456

ohaa [14]

Your answer is 26,453

Although I don't feel as if this is a homework question, I will still show the work.

Work:

Step 1: 999 + 999 = 1,998

Step 2: 1,998 + 999 = 2,997

Step 3: 2,997 + 23,456 = 26,453

Hope I was able to help! :)
