Question 5 (5 points)

Answer:

The answer is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 – 8x – 12

We need two numbers which are factors of 12 such that their product is -12 and their sum is -8. The factors are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 but no two numbers satisfy the requirements of summing up to -8 and product of -12.

Therefore the equation is a prime as it has no factor

We can also check if the equation has a factor using the formula for general quadratic equation of ax² + bx + c = 0, the formula is;

(b² - 4ac)

If the answer is a perfect square only then we can factorize the equation.

In the given equation x² - 8x - 12

b = -8 and c = -12

b²- 4ac = (-8)² - 4(1)(-12) = 64 + 48 = 112

Since 112 is not a perfect square number, we can say there is no factors for the given equation.

Answer:

(x-9.291)\cdot (x + 1.292)

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of the given polynomial (x^{2}-8\cdot x - 12) are derived from the General Formula for Second-Order Polynomials:

x = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 4\cdot (1)\cdot (-12)}}{2\cdot (1)}

x_{1} \approx 9.291 and x_{2} \approx -1.292

The factors of the polynomial are:

(x-9.291)\cdot (x + 1.292)

A shop recorded total sales of $2,000 on Monday. On Tuesday, its sales fell by 10%. On Wednesday, sales fell by another 20% comp
GenaCL600 [577]
The shop had $2,000 in sales on Monday. 
If it fell by 10% on Tuesday, then 2000 * 0.10 equals the percentage it dropped, so it dropped by $200. So they only had $1,800 in sales on Tues. 
If they fell by another 20% on Wednesday, 1,800 * 0.20 equals a $360 drop. Now we're at $1,440. 
The sales then increased by 25% of Monday's total # of sales. 25% of Monday's sales is 2,000 * 0.25 which equals a $500 increase. Now we're at $1,940. 
Now that we're done with everything, how far are we from the beginning? That's the net change. :) We began at $2,000 on Monday, and ended with $1,940 on Thursday. 2000 - 1940 is 60, so 60 = your net change. 

TLDR: Sold $2,000 on Mon, sold $1,800 on Tues, sold $1,440 on Wed, and then sold $1,940 on Thurs. The net change is $60.
