Kaylis [27]3 years ago

Answer:

b = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

x² + bx - 81

To find,

value of b

What is factorable?

A polynomial equation with highest degree 2 is if factorable when

  1. we can find two terms which when multiples = -81x²,   <em> ( x² * - 81 = -81x² ) </em>
  2. and when add = bx

possible factors:

  1. -1x * 81x = -81x²   (Accepted)
  2. 1x * -81x= -81x²    (rejected)
  3. 9x * -9x = -81x²    (rejected)
  4. -9x * 9x = -81x²    (rejected)

Only when -1x , 81x is added -1x + 81x = 80x

so, bx = 80x

     b   = 80

<h3>The equation is x² + 80x - 81</h3>

PLEASE HELP ME QUICK!!!Can you form a triangle with angle measurements of 50°, 50° and 100° explain why or why not.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

No, you can't form a triangle because angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

100+50+50= 200 degrees, which means that you cant form a triangle with these measurements because angles in a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees.

For every £1.00 a company spends on advertising, it spends £0.75 on its website. Express the amount spent on advertising to the
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

For every £1.00 a company spends on advertising, it spends £0.75 on its website.

From the above question:

The ratio is given as:

Amount spent on advertising : Amount spent on website

= £1.00 : £0.75

Convert ratio sign to division

= 1/0.75

Multiply Numerator and Denominator by 100

= 1 × 100 / 0.75 × 100

= 100/75

= 4/3

= 4 : 3

Therefore, the ratio in its simplest form = 4:3
