Answer:

x^2+ 4x - 21 =(x-3)(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the trimonial: x^2+ 4x - 21, we follow these steps:

Step 1: Multiply the first and last term

-21 \times x^2=-21x^2

Step 2: List out product factors of the term derived above

-21=-1 \times 21\\ -21=-3 \times 7\\-21=3 \times -7\\-21=1 \times -21

Step 3: Determine which of the factors sum up to the middle term 4x

The required product is: -3 and 7

Therefore: -3x+7x=4x

Step 4: Replace the middle term by the expression derived in step 3 and factorize.

x^2+ 7x -3x- 21\\=x(x+7)-3(x+7)\\=(x-3)(x+7)

Rolling a number less than 4 on a number cube labeled 1 through 6
olga_2 [115]
Rolling a number less than 4 means that rolling a 1, 2, or 3 will satisfy the requirement. Since 3 of 6 possible outcomes will satisfy the requirement then the likelihood that it will be rolled is 3/6 times. 3/6 reduces to 1/2 or 50% chance.
