Answer:
x = - 5, x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² + x - 20
To find the zeros equate f(x) to zero, that is
x² + x - 20 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 20) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 1)
The factors are + 5 and - 4, since
5 × - 4 = - 20 and + 5 - 4 = + 1, hence
(x + 5)x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Answer:
- 12 boxes
- 10 pencils, 9 notebooks
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The number of boxes will be the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numbers 120 and 108. That number is 12.
120 = 12×10
108 = 12×9 . . . . 12 is the greatest common divisor
Matthew can make 12 boxes with equal numbers of the items.
__
b) 120 pencils divided by 12 will be 10 pencils per box.
108 notebooks divided by 12 will be 9 notebooks per box.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It helps to be familiar with multiplication tables up to about 12×12.
The GCD can always be found using Euclid's algorithm. Look at the remainder when the larger number is divided by the smaller. If it is not zero, then replace the larger number with the remainder and repeat. If the remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCD.
Here, we have ...
120/108 = 1 r 12.
108/12 = 9 r 0 ⇒ 12 is the GCD
Step-by-step explanation:
False.
intersects the y-axis => x=0
tan (0+ π/6) = tan π/6 = 0.58
instead of 1.73
Add like terms. "Like terms" are those with the same constellation of variables.
.. terms with variable x: 5x +3x = (5 +3)x = 8x
.. terms with no variable: -9 -20 = -29
The simplified form is 8x -29.
