Answer:

              x² + x - 72 = (x + 9)(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+x-72\quad \implies\quad a=1\,,\quad b=1\,,\quad c=-72\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{1^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-72)}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{1+288}}{2}=\dfrac{17\pm\sqrt{289}}{2}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-1-17}{2}=-9\quad,\qquad x_2=\dfrac{-1+17}{2}=8\\\\\\x^2+x-72=(x-(-9))(x-8)=(x+9)(x-8)

or:

     x² + x - 72 =

= x² + 9x - 8x - 72 =

= x(x + 9) - 8(x + 9) =

= (x + 9)(x - 8)

Answer:

(x + 9)(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 + x - 72

     = x^2 - 8x + 9x - 72

     = (x^2 - 8x) + (9x - 72)

     = x(x - 8) + 9(x - 8)

     = (x + 9)(x - 8)

How do i explain how the distance on the number line and opposit numbers are related
strojnjashka [21]
Hey there!

The distance on a number line is the distance that a point is from 0.
For example, if you were looking at a number line and there was a point on the number 5, that point would be 5 units away from 0.

Opposite numbers are related because they are the same distance away from 0. For example -3 and 3 are both 3 units away from the number 0.

I hope this helped! :-)
