Which are factors of x2 – 4x – 5?

Mathematics

Kitty [74]3 years ago

Answer:

(x-5)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the highest power of x is 2, u can assume the equation to be (x +/- A) (x +/- B), whereby A and B are unknowns.

Since the coefficient of X^2 is 1, and the number in the equation is - 5, the only possible values for A and B to get - 5 is either - 5 and 1 or 1 and - 5.

Since coefficient of x is - 4 and number in equation is - 5, imagine inserting those numbers in the equation and cross multiplying back. You would realise that the answer should be as listed above.

Answer:

= 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 child ticket = 18.50 and they bought 3 so 18.50 x 3 = 55.5

55.5 + 2 adult tickets = 104.50

104.50 - 55.5 = 2 adult tickets

= 49 for 2 adult tickets

49/2 = 1 adult tickets

= 24.5
