Answer:

x = -3 and x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² − 2x − 3 = 12

x² − 2x − 3  - 12 = 0

x² − 2x − 15 = 0

Product = -15

sum = -2

Factors  are: 3, -5

So the equation becomes;

x² − 2x − 15 = 0

x² + 3x - 5x − 15 = 0

(x² + 3x) - (5x + 15) = 0

x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

∴ (x + 3) = 0

    x = -3  

          or

   (x - 5) = 0

    x = 5

Answer:

x_1=5\\x_2=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following quadratic equation given in the problem:

x^{2}-2x-3=12

You must make the equation equal to zero, as following:

x^{2}-2x-3-12=0

Add like terms:

 x^{2}-2x-15=0

Now, to factor the equation, you must find two numbers whose sum is -2 and whose product is -15. Therefore, you have:

(x-5)(x+3)=0\\x_1=5\\x_2=-3

Angle <QAB is =15° because the opposite angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

The length of the straight line AB = 80cm

<h3>Calculation of angle of a triangle</h3>

The angle at a point = 360°

Angle AQB= 360 - 210° = 150

But the angle that makes up a triangle= 180°

180-150= 30°

But <QAB = <QBA because triangle AQB is an isosceles triangle.

30/2 = 15°

To calculate the length of the straight line the following is carried out using the sine laws.

a/ sina, = b sinb

a= 8cm, sin a { sin 15)

b= ? , sin B = 150

make b the subject formula;

8/sin15= b/sin 150

b= 8 × sin 150/sin 15

b= 80cm
