How to factor x^2-2x-15

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 2x - 15

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 2)

The factors are - 5 and + 3, since

- 5 × 3 = - 15 and - 5 + 3 = - 2, thus

(x - 5)(x + 3) ← in factored form

Use the given graph of f to estimate the intervals on which the derivative f ' is increasing or decreasing. (Enter your answers
NARA [144]

The derivative of a function is used to determine whether the function is increasing or decreasing on any intervals in its domain.

Derivative of function f is increasing in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6)

Derivative of function f is decreasing in interval (1 , 3) and (6 , 9)

If f′(x) > 0 at each point in an interval , then the function is said to be increasing in that interval.

If f′(x) < 0 at each point in an interval , then the function is said to be decreasing on that interval.

By observing graph, it is observed that slope  of function f is positive in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6) . Hence, derivative of  function f is increasing in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6)

By observing graph, it is observed that slope  of function f is negative in interval  (1 , 3) and (6 , 9) . Hence, derivative of  function f is decreasing in interval  (1 , 3) and (6 , 9).

Suppose you bought D DVD's and B Books. If each DVD cost $14.95 and each book you bought off the 'specials' table cost $6.95, wr
Doss [256]

Answer:

14.95D + 6.95B

Step-by-step explanation:

Well a simple expression would make D the amount of DVD's you bought and B the amount of Books purchased.

In simple cases the prices don't change depending on that amount so you can multiply them by making it 14.95D and 6.95B.

Making the expression 14.95D + 6.95B.

omeli [17]

Answer:

25x² − 20x + 4

Explanation:

(5x − 2)²

= (5x + −2)(5x + −2)

= (5x)(5x) + (5x)(−2) + (−2)(5x) + (−2)(−2)

= 25x² − 10x − 10x + 4

= 25x² − 20x + 4
