Answer:

-(x-8)(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trinomial is

-x^2+2x+48

By comparing to ax^2+bx+c, we a=-1,b=2,c=48.

ac=-1\times 48=-48

Two factors of -48 that adds up to 2 are 8,-6.

We split the middle term to obtain;

-x^2+8x-6x+48

We now factor by grouping;

-x(x-8)-6(x-8)

We factor further to obtain;

(x-8)(-x-6)

-(x-8)(x+6)

A candy box measures 8.2 cm in diameter and 15 cm in height. How many 2 cm cubed pieces of candy can fit into the box?
Katarina [22]
60 2cm candy prices can fit because if you multiply 8.2 by 15 it equals a decimal and if you divide it by 2 that the nearest whole number you’ll get is 60, so the answer has to be 60.
