Answer:

  (x -8)(x +3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quadratic has the factorization

  (x +a)(x +b) = 0

It expands to

  x² +(a+b)x +ab = 0

When you compare this expansion to the given quadratic, you find that the numbers "a" and "b" must satisfy the requirements ...

  a+b = -5 . . . . . . the coefficient of the x term

  ab = -24 . . . . . . the constant term

Another way to say this is that <em>you want to find two factors of -24 that have a sum of -5</em>.

___

At this point, you make use of your knowledge of signed numbers and of multiplication tables. You know that for the <em>product</em> of two numbers to be negative, exactly one of them must be negative. In order for the <em>sum</em> to be negative, the factor with the largest magnitude must be negative.

Here are the ways -24 can be factored with the largest (magnitude) factor negative:

  -24 = -24×1 = -12×2 = -8×3 = -6×4

The sums of the factors in these factor pairs are -23, -10, -5, -2. The one we're interested in is -8×3 with a sum of (-8 +3) = -5.

It does not matter which number (-8 or 3) is assigned to a or to b. It only matters that we now know the factored equation is ...

  (x -8)(x +3) = 0

mixer [17]

Answer: range= 26, variance= 80 and standard deviation= 8.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = highest - lowest

Range = 146 - 120

Range= 26

Let m be mean

M=mean=sum/n

Mean=(120+134+146+127+138+133) / 6

M=798/6

M=133

The standard deviation sample formula:

S.D = sqrt( Summation of |x-m|^2 / n-1)

Let start finding:

|x-m|^2

For 1st: |120-133|^2=169

For 2nd: |134-133|^2=1

For 3rd: |146-133|^2=169

For 4th: |127-133|^2=36

For 5th: |138-133|^2=25

For 6th: |133-133|^2=0

Summation of |x-m|^2 = 400

The standard deviation formula is :

S.D = sqrt( Summation of |x-m|^2 / n-1)

S.D= sqrt(400 / 5)

S.D=sqrt(80)

S.D= 8.94

Variance = (Summation of |x-m|^2 / n-1)

Variance= 400/5

Variance= 80

Answer:

  x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  ∠1 + ∠2 = 90°

  ∠1 = 45°

  ∠2 = 3x°

<u>Find</u>:

  x

<u>Solution</u>:

  Using the given values in the given equation, we have ...

  45° +3x° = 90°

  15 + x = 30 . . . . . . divide by 3°

  x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the n th term ( explicit formula ) of a geometric sequence is

• a_{n} = a_{1}(r)^{n-1}

where r is the common ratio and a_{1} the first term

here r = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{16}{32} = \frac{1}{2} and a_{1} = 64, hence

a_{n} = 64(0.5)^{n-1} → D
