Answer:

(x + 3)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to factor  x^2-2x-15,

we need to find 2 numbers that multiply to get -15 and add to get -2.

3*-5 = -15

3x + -5x = -2x

x*x = x^2

Factored (x + 3)(x - 5)

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1- Find 2 number that multiplies to be -15, but also add to be -2

This would be -5 and 3

-5 * 3 = -15

-5 + 3 = -2

Step 2- write the equation

The equation can be written 2 different ways

1st way- (x - 5)(x + 3)

2nd way- (x + 3)(x - 5)

Can anyone explain and give answer please?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 19x + 57 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 19

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{19} ← slope of line w

Marc ordered a rug. He gave a deposit of 30%of the cost and will pay the rest when the rug is delivered. If the deposit was 75$,
Llana [10]

Answer:

He owes $175

Step-by-step explanation:

He paid a 30% deposit of 75 dollars.  Let the total cost be x

30% of x is 75 dollars.  In equation form

.30x = 75

Divide each side by .30

.30x/.30 = 75/.30

x =250

The total cost is 250

Since he already paid 75

The amount he still has to pay is

250-75 = 175

Hi,

Since, in this case, x is being raised to something, then that means it is, in fact, an exponential function.

Hope this helps :)
