Factored Form:
x^2 - 4x - 5
Simplifying:
x^2 +  - 4x +  - 5 = 0

Reorder the terms:
- 5 +  - 4x + x^2 = 0

Solving for variable " x":
Subproblem 1:
Set the factor ( - 1 +  - 1x) equal to Zero and attempt to solve.

Simplifying:
- 1 +  - 1x = 0

Solving:
- 1 +  - 1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

Add 1 to each side of equation:
- 1 + 1 +  - 1x = 0 + 1

Combine Like Terms: 0 + 1 = 1
x =  - 1


Divide each side by - 1
x =  - 1

Simplifying:  x =  -  1


Subproblem 2: Set the factor (5 +  -  1x) equal to Zero attempt to solve

Simplifying:
5 +  - 1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
Add - 5 to each side of the equation
5 +  - 5  +  - 1x = 0 + 5

Combine Like terms:  5 +  - 5 = 0
0 +  - 1x = 0 +  - 5
- 1x = 0 +  - 5

Combine Like Terms: 0 +  - 5 = - 5
- 1x =  - 5

Divide each side by - 1
x = 5

Simplifying:
x = 5

Solution:
x = { - 1,  5}





Answer when factored:
(x + 1)(x - 5)







hope that helps!!!

katovenus [111]
X+y+z = 132
x = 7+z
y = 3z

(7+z)+3z+z = 132
5z = 132-7
z = 125/5

z = 25 <=====

x = 7+z
x = 7 + 25
x = 39 <=====

y = 3z
y = 3 × 25
y = 75 <=====

Since it starts at 12 and is increasing by 5 each time, the 70th term will be;
12 + 5(70)
12 + 350
362

362 is the 70th term of the sequence.

Consider a manufacturing process called as turning (a type of machining process) that is used to manufacture cylindrical metal s
Sav [38]

Answer: 86.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable that represents the diameter of metal samples.

Given : Population mean : \mu=10

Standard deviation: s=0.50

Specified tolerance on the diameter is 0.75 mm.

i.e. range of diameter = 10-0.75< x <10+0.75 = 9.25< x< 10.75

Formula to find the z-score corresponds to x: z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{s}

At x= 0.75,  z=\dfrac{9.25-10}{0.50}=-1.5

z=\dfrac{9.25-10}{0.50}=1.5

Using standard normal table for z-value,

P-value : p(-1.5

∴ Percentage of samples manufactured using this process satisfy the tolerance specification = 86.64%
