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.
It's not why...it can be the outcome of ones decisions of getting protection or just want to spend their last minutes with their family and friends
To find percent error, you subtract the actual number from your estimate, take the absolute value, and divide by the actual number.
l 96 - 118 l
l -22 l
l 22 l
l 22 l / 118
0.19% (this was rounded)
Hope this helps!
5ml=1 teaspoon
2.5ml=1/2 teaspoon
so 2.5ml is equal to half teaspoon
