For c to be positive, and for b to be negative, m must be negative and n must be negative.
X^2 - bx + c = (x - m)(x - n).
c is the product of m and n. If both m and n are positive, c would be positive. However b is the sum of m and n, therefore to make b negative, both m and n must be negative to ensure that the product of m and n is positive
Answer:
- 9x² + 10x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the subtraction as
- 4x² + 2x - 8 - (5x² - 8x - 12 ) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
= - 4x² + 2x - 8 - 5x² + 8x + 12 ← collect like terms
= - 9x² + 10x + 4
Answer:
B. x=6
move all terms to the left that don't contain x to the right side and solve.
We can solve this by multiplying those two numbers but we place them in improper fraction.
2 1/2 x 2 1/4
becomes
5/2 x 9/4
for fraction multiplication, just multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator
5/2 x 9/4 = 45/8
we can simplify this into mixed fraction while numbers in whole numbers and remainder in numerator
5 5/8 is the answer
