Answer:

k=-16,k=-8,k=8,k=16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given quadratic equations as

x^2+kx+15

and it can be factored as

=(x+a)(x+b)

now, we can multiply factor term

(x+a)(x+b)=x^2+(a+b)x+ab

now, we can compare

x^2+(a+b)x+ab=x^2+kx+15

so, we get

k=a+b

ab=15

we are given that

'a' and 'b' are integers

so, we can find all possible factors

15=(-1\times -15),(1\times 15)

15=(-3\times -5),(3\times 5)

so, we can find k

At (-1\times -15):

k=a+b

we can plug values

k=-1-15

k=-16

At (1\times 15):

k=a+b

we can plug values

k=1+15

k=16

At (-3\times -5):

k=a+b

we can plug values

k=-3-5

k=-8

At (3\times 5):

k=a+b

we can plug values

k=3+5

k=8

So, values of k are

k=-16,k=-8,k=8,k=16

What is 3/4 as a percentage
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent is a value out of 100.

Change the fraction \frac{3}{4} to an equivalent fraction with the denominator equal to 100.

\frac{3}{4} × \frac{25}{25} = \frac{75}{100}

This fraction represents a percent.

\frac{75}{100} = 75%
