To factor x²-2x-4, you are looking to answer three questions.
1) What pair of numbers multiplies to 4?
2) What pair of numbers multiplies to 1?
3) Do these pairs when multiplied together, add/subtract to the middle term?
To answer (1), our pairs are 2 and 2, 4 and 1. Since there's a negative with 4 at the end (from question one), the signs will be opposite.
To answer (2), only pair multiplies to 1 - 1 and 1. Let's try both pairs from 1.
(x-4)(x+1) The middle term here is -3x. Nope.
(x-1)(x+4). The middle term here is 3x. Nope.
(x-2)(x+2) The middle term is 0x (or no middle term). Nope.
So x²-2x-4 does not factor.

Answer: 153.56
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formulas:
Volume of a cone: 1/3 π r² h
Where r is the radius and h is the height (unknown)
Diameter = r x 2
8 = 2r
8/2 =r
r = 4
Before calculating the volume we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find h. (where the slant is the hypotenuse and h and r are the sides of the triangle)
10 ² = h² + 4²
Solving for h
100 = h² + 16
100-16 = h²
84= h²
√84 =h
9.16= h
Back on the volume formula:
V= 1/3 π r² h
V =1/3 π 4² (9.16) =153.56
Move everybody to one side
minus 5x+2 both sides
x^2-5x-2=0
use quadratic formula where
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=
1x^2-5x-2=0
a=1
b=-5
c=-2
x=
x=
x=
aprox
x=5.372281323 or -0.3722813233
