So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!
Answer:
1.) m= — 25/21 2.) m = 0 3.) m = —1/32
Step-by-step explanation:
The answers is 24, 25, and 26.
Both A and C would be solutions to the equation.
In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.
2x^2+5x+8=6 ----> subtract 6 from both sides
2x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0
Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.
a = 2 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5 (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 2 (because it is the end number)
Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.





or -1/2 for the first answer

or -2 for the second answer
