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 you want to find two factors of -24 that have a sum of -5.

___

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

1) slope is 6 and y-intercept is ( 0,5) y = mx + b, m = 6, b = 5 y = 6x + 5 2)line passes through the points ( 3,6) and ( 6,3 ) First find the slope: m = (3-6)/(6-3) = -3/3 = -1 y = -x + b Plug in one of the given points (x,y) and find b 6 = -3 + b 9 = b y = -x + 9 a horizontal line that passes through the point ( -1,7)Horizontal lines have a constant y-value and formaty = c where c is a constant number. y = 7 y=-3x+3x intercept: set y = 0 and solve for x0 = -3x + 33x = 3x = 1x-intercept: (1, 0) y-intercept: set x = 0 and solve for yy = -3(0) + 3y = 3y-intercept: (0,3) y=0,5x-1Is this two equations? The line y=0 has y-intercept at (0,0)The x-intercept is the entire x-axis y=5x-1x -intercept: Set y = 0 and solve for x y-intercept: Set x = 0 and solve for y

The graphs below have the same shape. what is the equation o the red graph?

maw [93]

So the equation of the red graph is already given to us: $f(x) = x^2$ . I assume you meant the blue graph?

We can use the vertex form: $y = a(x - h)^2+ k$ , where $(h,k)$ is the vertex. (We can ignore $a$ because $a$ is 1 for this graph.) Remember that the vertex is the maximum or minimum of a parabola and the point that the line of symmetry passes through. For f(x) the vertex is (0,0).

The vertex for $g(x)$ is at $(-4, -2)$ on the coordinate plane. (4 left, 2 down)

Plug into the vertex form:

$y = (x - (-4))^2 -2$

The double negative becomes a positive, and then you're done:

$y = (x + 4)^2-2$

What is the measure of angle E, in degrees?

Leni [432]

The answer is 84 degrees because d and f both are 48 degrees so that adds up to 96. So that means you add 84 plus 96 which is 180 so the answer is 84 degrees.

Your friends shuffle the cards and then deal them. Select probability of getting a red card. Select probability of getting a spa

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1/2 ; 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of red cards = 26

Number of spades = 13

Probability of event A :

P(A) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P( red card) = number of red cards / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 26 / 52 = 1/2

P(spade) = number of spades / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 13 / 52 = 1 / 4
