Which equation involves a prime quadratic and cannot be solved by factoring? A. x2 + 5x − 4 = 0 B. x2 − x − 6 = 0 C. x2 + 3x − 4

Damm [24]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try to factorize all the options one by one.

For A:

$x^{2} +5x-4\\=> x^{2}+4x+x-4\\=>x(x+4)+1(x-4)$

We can see that the quadratic expression cannot be solved by factorization as the factors at the end of factorization are not equal in both brackets. So Option A is the correct answer for the given question.

Moreover we can also note that all the other quadratic expressions can be factorized ..

When a whole number is multiplied by a decimal smaller than one, what can you conclude about the result?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The resulting number is smaller than the original. This is true because if you take 20 times 0.5 it will equal ten. A decimal is pretty much a fraction in another form.

The reason why A is false is because if the number isn't being multiplied by 1 then it can't stay the same.

The reason why B is false is because that is not true as in the example above, 20 times 0.5, it equaled 10 and not less than one.

The reason why C is false is because the the resulting number simply cannot be higher than the original when being multiplied by a decimal smaller than 1.

Hope this helps
