Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 2)(x - 7) = 0 ← in standard form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

Thus the zeros are x = - 2 and x = 7

Answer:

$AB=2\sqrt{ab}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure,

$OA=a, \quad \quad O'B=b\\\Rightarrow OO'= (a+b) \quad \quad \text{and}\quad OD=(a-b)$

In triangle $OO'D$

$(OO')^2=(OD)^2+(O' D)^2$

$\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]$

Hence, $AB=2\sqrt{ab}$

The reaction 2Na(s) + Br₂(l) ➞ 2NaBr(s) is a(n) __________ reaction. *

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no precipitate. NaBr is very soluble.

It is not a double replacement. There is only 1 product. Double replacements have two.

It is not a decomposition. If this equation was written backwards, the reaction would be a decomposition.

It must be a synthesis.
