(r-5)(r+4)

(x+6)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 r^2 - 1 r - 20

multiply the first and third terms

-20 <em>times</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>-20</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>take</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>-1</em>

<em>*</em><em>what</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>multiply</em><em> </em><em>together</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>-20</em><em> </em><em>but</em><em> </em><em>add</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>-1</em><em>?</em>

<em>-5</em><em> </em><em>times</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>-20</em>

<em>-5</em><em> </em><em>plus</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>-1</em>

<em>(</em><em>r-5</em><em>)</em><em>(</em><em>r</em><em>+</em><em>4</em><em>)</em>

1 x^2 + 8 x + 12

<em>multiply</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>first</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>third</em><em> </em><em>terms</em>

<em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>times</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>12</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>take</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>8</em>

<em>*</em><em>what</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>multiply</em><em> </em><em>together</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>12</em><em> </em><em>but</em><em> </em><em>add</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>8</em><em>?</em>

<em>6</em><em> </em><em>times</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>12</em>

<em>6</em><em> </em><em>plus</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>equals</em><em> </em><em>8</em>

<em>=</em><em>(</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>6</em><em>)</em><em>(</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>2</em><em>)</em>

Answer:

(4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-3y=24\\-3y=24-6x\\y=-8+2x\\0=-8+2x\\8=2x\\

x=4 when y=0, and in x-intercepts, we are trying to find the value of x when y=0, which is why (4, 0) is the point of interception.

To find the coordinates of point L, the midpoint of JK, the equation M = can be used. What are the coordinates of point L? L(1,
anygoal [31]
Since we are already given with the formula to solve for the coordinates of point L, all we have to do is to perform the necessary operation in the item. The formula for the coordinates of the midpoint is,                    M = ((5 + 1) / 2 , (3 - 7) / 2)performing the operation,                   M = (3, -2)Thus, the coordinates of point L are (3,-2).

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

\boxed{108\sqrt{3}\text{ in}^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

An apothem is a perpendicular drawn from the centre of the triangle to one of its sides.

The three apothems OD, OE, and OF divide  ∆ABC into six smaller congruent triangles.

1. Area of ∆OCD

CotOCD = OD/OC

cot30 = CD/6

√3 = CD/6

CD = 6√3

A= ½bh

A = ½ × 6√3 × 6 = 18√3  in²

2. Area of ∆ABC

A = 6 × area of ∆OCD = 6 × 18√3 = 108√3 in²

\text{The area of the triangle is }\boxed{108 \sqrt{3} \text{ in}^{2}}

Answer this question thanks
9966 [12]

First add 3 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 3 is being subtracted, addition (the opposite of subtraction) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

2 < u - 3

2 + 3 < u - 3 + 3

5 < u - 0

5 < u

For the graph will you have a empty or colored in circle?

If the symbol is ≥ or ≤ then the circle will be colored in. This represents that the number the circle is on is included.

If the symbol is > or < then the circle will be empty. This represents that the number the circle is on is NOT included.

Which direction will the ray go?

If the variable is LESS then the number then the arrow will go to the left of the circle.

If the variable is MORE then the number then the arrow will go to the right of the circle.

In this case your inequality is:

5 < u OR u > 5

aka 5 is less then u OR u is greater then 5

This means that the graph will have an empty circle and the arrow will go to the right of 5. Look at image below.

Hope this helped!

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Mean = 4.11; Median = 4.44

Explanation:

Using a graphing calculator, enter the values into the first list.  Then run one-variable statistics on the list.

By hand, to find the mean, add together all of the values:

3.25+3.25+3.66+3.83+4.57+4.52+4.74+4.69+4.44 = 36.95

Divide by the total number of data points, 9:

36.95/9 = 4.11

To find the median, order the data from least to greatest:

3.25, 3.25, 3.66, 3.83, 4.44, 4.52, 4.57, 4.69, 4.74

The middle number is 4.44.
