When solving for x, what is x squared plus 15 equals -8x

Mathematics
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = - 5, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )

x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are 5 and 3, since

5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus

(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

A researcher examines typing speed before a typing class begins, halfway through the class, and after the class is over. 4. Iden
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Number of levels = 2

Type of design = Repeated measure

Dependent variable = Typing Speed

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of levels in an experiment simply refers to the number of experimental conditions in which participants are subjected to. In the scenario above, the number of levels is 2. Which are ; Halfway through the class and After the class is over.

The type of designed employed is REPEATED MEASURE, this is because the participants all took part in each experimental condition.

The dependent variable is TYPING SPEED, which is the variable which is measured with respect to the independent variable. Hence the observed value depends on period that is (halfway through the class or after the class is over).
