Answer:

(r-7)(r+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's look at the -14. Possible factors for that number are (-2, 7) (2, -7) (1, -14) and (-1, 14).

Now, let's look at the -5. How can we make -5 with the pairs that we just found?

The only possible way is 2 and -7 (added together equals -5)

What is the area of this triangle?

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{120 \ Units^2}}$

Step By Step Explanation:

Area Of Triangle: $\bold{\frac{1}{2}Base \ \cdot \ Height}$

Base: 10

Height: 24 (This triangle has a right angle, so we use the height based off of the 90° angle, which is 24)

Insert Numbers Into Equation

$\bold{\frac{1}{2}10 \ \cdot \ 24}$

$\bold{\frac{1}{2}}$ 10 = 5

$\bold{5 \ \cdot \ 24 \ = \ 120}$

➤ $\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}$

Six years ago annabelle was twice as old as jason was. now, annabelle is four years older than jason. how old is jason now?

baherus [9]

Now: a=j+4
6 years ago: Anabelle: a-6; Jason: j-6

$a-6=2(j-6) \\ a=2j-12+6 \\ a=2j-6 \\ \\ j+4=2j-6 \\ 4+6=2j-j \\ j=10 \\ \\ a=2(10)-6 \\ a=14$

Ever since renata moved to her new home, she's been keeping track of the height of the tree outside her window. h(t)h(t)h, left

lilavasa [31]

It was 210 cm.

The function she used is h(t) = 210 + 33t. This is a linear function, since it is of the form f(x) = mx+b. In a linear function, we have the slope, m, which tells us how much the height increases per year, and the y-intercept, b, which tells us how tall it was when we began measuring. Our m value would be 33 and our b would be 210, so the original height was 210.
