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

What is the measure of angle x enter your answer is the box
evablogger [386]

Answer:

83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

vertical degrees show that angles across from one another have the same value. All three angles will add up to 180 degrees. Subtract both 56 and 41 from 180 degrees to get a remainder of 83.

How do I solve for x?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The answer is 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees.

The sum of all the angles of a triangle always equals 180 degrees. Write down the difference you found when subtracting the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. This is the value of X.

62+20=82

180-82=98

98+20+62=180
