Answer:

x = - 7, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 5x - 14 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are + 7 and - 2, since

7 × - 2 = - 14 and 7 - 2 = + 5 , thus

(x + 7)x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

Answer:

cosA = $\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

cosA = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{AB}{AC}$ = $\frac{30}{50}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$

a rectangular prism has a volume of 1374.28 cubic inches.The prism is 9.4 inches wide and 17.2 inches long.What is the height of

NISA [10]

The volume V of a prism can be found by:
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found through:
$V=lwh$
Where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

The height can be found by rearranging the equation to:
$h= \frac{V}{wl}$

Take the volume (1374.28) and divide it by the length times the width (9.4*17.2=161.68).
1374.28/161.68= 8.5 inches is the height of the prism.

Answer: Slope: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation: To find slope take 2 points that lie on the line and use this formula to solve: <em> </em>I will use (0, -2) and (2, -3) to solve

↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

y2 - y1 x1 y1 x2 y2

-----------

x2 - x1

So, for this question, substitute the x and y values from the points above to solve.

-3 - (-2)

----------- = - 1/2

2 - 0

Hope this helped. :)

If x -9 is a factor of x^2 -5x-36 , what is the other factor ?

faust18 [17]

Answer:

(x + 4) (x - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

x^2 - 5 x - 36

The factors of -36 that sum to -5 are 4 and -9. So, x^2 - 5 x - 36 = (x + 4) (x - 9):

Answer: (x + 4) (x - 9)
