1) For a quadratic equation, we'll have two answers typically. We're looking for two numbers that when multiplied give -64, and when added give -12. This is a bit of trial and error, but you go about it by systematically factoring -64 in all possible combinations: 64=-2*32=2*-32=-4*16=4*-16=-8*8. Of these, I can 'see' that I can make -12 with 4 and -16. So the factorization of the equation becomes:
(x-16)(x+4)=0, so x=16 or x=-4.
Answers B and D are correct.
For (2), same trick applies. Rewrite as x²-8x-48=0. Factor as (x+4)(x-12)=0 because 4*-12=-48 and 4-12=-8. The other solution is x=12.
Answer:
hey dear the smallest composite number is 4
Answer: tree log
Step-by-step explanation: tree log
Median of 10, 55, 34, 21
First we arrange number in ascending or descending
10, 21, 34, 55 in ascending.
Median is the middle number and this is between 21 and 34.
We find the average:
(21 + 34) /2 = 55/2 = 27.5
Median is 27.5.
