The first rule of factoring is to try to factor a common factor from all the terms. In this case, there is no common factor.

Now we factor the trinomial.
This quadratic trinomial is of the form
x^2 + ax + b = 0
where the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1.
To factor it, find two numbers that multiply to "b", the constant term,
and add to "a", the coefficient of x.

The numbers are -5 and 2 since -5 * 2 = -10, and -5 + 2 = -3.

Now we write two sets of parentheses with x on the left side:

(x      )(x       ) = 0

We fill in the parentheses with the two numbers we found above, -5 and 2.

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

That is the factoring.

Hello there!

x^2 - 3x - 10=0

Factorize the left side 

(x + 2)(x-5)=0 

Set factors equal to 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 5 = 0 

x = -2 or x = 5 

Best of luck!

The diagram shows a circle inscribed in a square.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets find the area of the square

A=l*w

12*12=144 m^2

then lets find the are of the circle

A=pi*r^2

A=3.14*(d/2)^2

the diameter of the circle is 12m

A=3.14*(12/2)^2

A=3.14*(6)^2

A=3.14*36

A=113.04 m^2

Now, lets subtract the area of the circle form the area of the square

144-113.04= 30.96 m^2

So, the answer is A

What is the y-intercept of the line shown below?<br><br>A:3/4<br>B:2<br>C:3<br>D:4​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The y-intercept is the y value where the blue line crosses the Y axis which is the vertical black line.

The line crosses at the number 4, so the y-intercept is 4

What is the equation of a circle with center (9,-7) and radius 2?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

B. (x-9)^2 + (y + 7)^2 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. Hopefully you can memorize that, because it's very helpful in these problems!

(h,k) is our center, and r is our radius, so plug those values into the standard form:

(x - 9)^2 + (y + 7)2 = 2^2

2^2 = 4, so

<u>B. (x - 9)^2 + (y + 7)2 = 4 is our answer!</u>
