Answer:

so the factors of x²+3x-4 are (x-1)(x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x²+3x-4=0

by using sum and product rule

x²+4x-1x-4=0

Taking common

x(x+4)-1(x+4)=0

(x-1)(x+4)=0

i hope this will help you :)

Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Product = -4

Sum = 3

Factors = -1 , 4

x² + 3x - 4 = x²- 1x + 4x - 4

= x(x -1) + 4(x - 1)

= (x - 1) (x + 4)

What is lim x→-3 sqrt x^2-8

vitfil [10]

If the -8 is under the square root, then...

$\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to -3} \sqrt{x^2-8}\\\\L = \sqrt{(-3)^2-8}\\\\L = \sqrt{9-8}\\\\L = \sqrt{1}\\\\L = 1\\\\$

If the -8 is not under the square root, then...

$\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to -3} \sqrt{x^2}-8\\\\L = \sqrt{(-3)^2}-8\\\\L = \sqrt{9}-8\\\\L = 3-8\\\\L = -5$

Either way, we replace x with -3 and simplify.

For more information, refer to the direct substitution rule for limits.

A line passes through the points (–3, –4) and (6, 2). What number is the x-intercept?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}$

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\\text{Look at the picture.}$

Mark points in the coordinate system.

Lead a line through these points.

Solve 2(x + 1) = 2x + 2.<br> A All real numbers<br> B No solution<br> C 0<br> D 1

FrozenT [24]

2(x+1)=2x+2 if you factor the right side ..

2(x+1)=2(x+1)

This is always true for any value of x so there are infinitely many solutions...

x= all real numbers.

Find the measure of unknown angle

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The angle in the upper right quadrilateral corner = 68 degrees because vertical angles are equal.

Angle Y = 68 (opposite quadrilateral angles are equal).

All quadrilateral angles add to 360 so:

68 + 68 + x + z = 360 = 292

angle X + Z = 292

Therefore angle x = angle z = 146
