Mathematics

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

Apply the junction rule to the junction labeled with the number 1 (at the bottom of the resistor of resistance R2R2R_2). Answer
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

-I₁ + I₂ + I₃ = 0

I₁ = I₂ + I₃

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the circuit is obtained online and attached to the question.

The junction rule is essentially a law of conservation of current (charges). It applies to electrical circuits at steady state.

It explains that the for any given junction (node in an electrical circuit), the sum of current entering the junction is equal to the sum of current leaving the junction. That is, the net sum of current at any junction is zero.

Current entering a junction is assigned a positive sign and that leaving the junction is assigned a negative sign.

Σ I = 0

From the image of the circuit attached, I₁ is leaving the junction labelled number 1 and I₂ and I₃ are entering the junction.

Hence,

-I₁ + I₂ + I₃ = 0

I₁ = I₂ + I₃

Hope this Helps!!!

PLEASE ANSWER THIS FAST Will the red square and the orange square always equal the blue square? What colored square is the hypot
Vikentia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The area of the blue square will always equal the sum of the area of the orange and red rectangles

The pythagorian theorem:

a²+b² = c²

now let a be the side of the red triangle and b the side of the orange one

so a² is the area of the red triangle and b² is the area of the orange one

Let c be the side of the blue rectangle

so c² is the area of it

then what we concluded is right

  • the hypotenuse is the blue side since it is the larger one

Find the area pf a trapezoid with a base of 26.7 ft , a height of 15.4 and top of 9.9 ft
evablogger [386]
Hello!

To find the area of the trapezoid, you use the formula A=1/2h(a+b), where a and b represent the two base lengths.

Since we already know the two bases and the height, we can just plug them into the equation to find the area.

A=1/2·15.4(26.7+9.9)
A=1/2·15.4(36.6)
A=1/2·563.64
A=281.82

The area is 281.82 ft².

I hope this helps!
