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

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence?
alexandr1967 [171]
Answer: Only the second sequence is arithmetic. 

Work:
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which there is a common value added or subtracted between each term in the sequence. 
The first option, -2, 4, -6, 8,... is not arithmetic because the terms switch back and forth between positive and negative signs meaning that there is no common value that can be added between each term. 
The second option, -8, -6, -4, -2,... is arithmetic because there is a common difference between each term which is +2.
The third option, 2, 4, 8, 16,... is not arithmetic but is, in fact, geometric. There is no common value that is added or subtracted between each term.
