Factor the trinomial. x^2-4x-5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago

<h3>Answer: Choice C.  (x+1)(x-5)</h3>

We need to find two numbers that

  • Multiply to -5 (last term)
  • Add to -4 (middle coefficient)

Through trial and error, those two numbers are 1 and -5

  • 1 times -5 = -5
  • 1 plus -5 = -4

So this means x^2-4x-5 factors to (x+1)(x-5)

This is the same as (x-5)(x+1) since the order of multiplication doesn't matter.

Find the cosine of the angle between the planes x+y+z=0 and 4x+3y+z=1.<br><br> Answer: cosθ=
marta [7]

The angle between the planes is the same as the angle between their normal vectors, which are

<em>n</em><em>₁</em> = ⟨1, 1, 1⟩

<em>n</em><em>₂</em> = ⟨4, 3, 1⟩

The angle <em>θ</em> between the vectors is such that

⟨1, 1, 1⟩ • ⟨4, 3, 1⟩ = ||⟨1, 1, 1⟩|| ||⟨4, 3, 1⟩|| cos(<em>θ</em>)

Solve for cos(<em>θ</em>) :

4 + 3 + 1 = √(1² + 1² + 1²) √(4² + 3² + 1²) cos(<em>θ</em>)

8 = √3 √26 cos(<em>θ</em>)

cos(<em>θ</em>) = 8/√78

What is the median of these numbers: 11, 13, 4, 9
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

11, 13, 4, 9

In order to find the median we must first arrange the numbers in order (Least to greatest)

4, 9, 11, 13

If there is 2 numbers in the middle: the median is their average

If there is only one number in the middle, that number is the median.

Since there are two numbers (9 and 11) we have to take their average.

(9+11) / 2 = 20 / 2 = 10

The median is 10!
