Answer:

x^2+11x+18 is prime

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Prime Trinomials</u>

A given trinomial is prime if it cannot be factored. The general expression for a trinomial is

ax^2+bx+c

Another useful expression is

a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)

where x1 and x2 are the zeroes of the trinomial.

The zeroes can be computed by using the known formula

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

The trinomial has two zeroes if the root can be found as a real number, that is if d is positive or zero, where

d=b^2-4ac

Let's test the four options

x^2-8x+2

a=1,b=-8,c=2

d=(-8)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 2=56

Since d is positive, the trinomial can be factored and therefore is not prime

x^2+4x+5

a=1,b=4,c=5

d=4^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 5=-4

Since d is negative, the trinomial is prime

x^2+11x+18

a=1,b=11,c=18

d=11^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 18=49

Since d is positive, the trinomial can be factored and therefore is not prime

x^2-3x-2

a=1,b=-3,c=-2

d=(-3)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-2)=17

Since d is positive, the trinomial can be factored and therefore is not prime

A family buys groceries for $154.35, including $10.37 in taxes. The bill includes $27.83 worth of items that are not taxable. Fi
mart [117]
154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893

Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.

A function can be represented verbally. For example, the circumference of a square is four times one of its sides.
A function can be represented algebraically. For example, 3x+6 3 x + 6 .
A function can be represented numerically.
A function can be represented graphically.
