Answer:

x = -5 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is :

x²+9x+20 = 0

We have to solve above equation by factoring.

Step 1.  Split the middle term of given equation so that the sum of two term should be 9 and their product should be 20.

Terms are 4 and 5.

Their product is  4.5 = 20 and their sum is 4+5 = 9

x²+5x+4x+20 = 0

Step 2.   Making two groups and taking common ,we get

x(x+5)+4(x+5) = 0

Step 3.  Taking (x+5) as common , we get

(x+5)(x+4) =0

Step 4.    Applying Zero-Product Property to above equation ,we get

x+5 = 0 and x+4 = 0

Step 5. Separating x,we get

x = -5 or x = -4 Which is the answer.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1458 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

because each dimension of A is 3 tomes each dimension of B, that will mean that both the length and width of B are multiplied by 3 in order to get the length and width of A, so the area of B is length×width=162 and the area of A (in terms of B's dimensions) is 3xlength×3×width=9×length×width=9×162=1458 sq cm

Two angles are supplementary. One angle has a measure that is five less than four times the other. What is the measure of the la
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The larger angle is 143

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 180 (This is the meaning of supplementary. Two angles make up 180 degrees)

4x - 5 = y

x + (4x - 5) = 180            Remove the brackets.

x + 4x - 5 = 180

5x - 5 =  180                  Add 5 to both sides

5x - 5 +5 = 180 + 5       Combine

5x = 185                        Divide by 5

5x/5=185/5

x = 37

y = 4*37 - 5

y = 148 - 5

y = 143

For this graph mark the statements that are true
Nitella [24]

For the graph in the figure

we know that

the function  is a quadratic equation ( vertical parabola) open up

so

The vertex is a minimum

the vertex is the point (1,0)

The domain x of the function is all real numbers-------> (-∞,∞)

The range is the interval--------> [0,∞)

f(x)\geq 0

therefore

Statements

A) The range is the set of all real numbers

Is false

B) The domain is the set of all real numbers

Is true

C) The domain is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

Is false

D) The range is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

Is true
