A polynomial is factored using algebra tiles. An algebra tile configuration. 0 tiles are in the Factor 1 spot and 0 tiles are in

the Factor 2 spot. 15 tiles are in the Product spot in 3 columns with 5 rows: 1 is labeled + x squared, 2 are labeled + x, the 4 tiles below + x squared are labeled negative x, and the 8 tiles below the + x tiles are labeled negative. Which polynomial was factored? x2 – 2x – 8 x2 + 2x – 8 x2 – 2x – 4 x2 + 2x – 4

Answer:

x² - 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebra tiles are tiles used to represent variables or numbers and are rectangular or square shaped.

1 is labeled + x squared, this gives x²

2 are labeled + x, this gives +x × 2 = +2x

4 tiles below + x squared are labeled negative x, this gives - x × 4 = - 4x

8 tiles below the + x tiles are labeled negative, this gives -1 × 8 = -8

Therefore to get the polynomial that was factored, we add all the terms. This gives :

+x² + (+ 2x) + (-4x) + (-8) = x² + 2x - 4x - 8 = x² - 2x - 8

If sec(theta) =25/24, find cot(theta) (Picture provided)
larisa [96]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition,

\sec \theta=\dfrac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent leg}}.

If \sec \theta=\dfrac{25}{24}, we can consider right triangle with hypotenuse 25 un. and adjacent leg 24 un. By the Pythagorean theorem,

\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{adjacent leg}^2+\text{opposite leg}^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=25^2-24^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=625-576,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=49,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}=7\ un.

So,

\cot \theta=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{opposite leg}}=\dfrac{24}{7}.

X=3y+4, y=y
x+y=180, 3y+4+y=180, 4y+4=180
4y+4=180
4y=176
y=44
x=3(44)+4, x=132+4, x=136

Answer correct you get brainliest answer​
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

y =  {x}^{2}  - 2

Or if you want with the value of h too.

y =  {(x - 0)}^{2}  - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k

Find the value of h and k by using the formula.

h =  -  \frac{b}{2a}  \\ k =  \frac{4ac -  {b}^{2} }{4a}

From y = x²-2

a = 1 \\ b = 0 \\ c =  - 2

Substitute these values in the formula.

h =  -  \frac{0}{2(1)}  \\ h = 0

Therefore, h = 0.

k =  \frac{4(1)( - 2) -  {0}^{2} }{4(1)}  \\ k =  \frac{ - 8}{4}  \\ k =  - 2

Therefore, k = - 2.

From the vertex form, the vertex is at (h, k) = (0,-2). Substitute h = 0, a = 1 and k = -2 in the equation.

y = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k \\ y = 1 {(x - 0)}^{2}  - 2 \\ y =  {(x)}^{2}  - 2 \\ y =  {x}^{2}  - 2

These type of equation where b = 0 can also be both standard and vertex form.
