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

An arithmetic sequence has a first term of 10 and a sixth term of 40. What is the 20th term of this sequence?
Aleks04 [339]
In An arithmetic sequence will add or subtract the same thing each time to find the next term. In this case we start with 10 and need to get to 40 on the 6th term. This is a difference of 30 that needs to be divided by 5 open spaces. You are adding 6 each time.

10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, _,_,_,_, 70, _,_,_,_,100,_,_,_, 124.

Another way to do this would be to look at the 5th term and multiply it by 4 to get to the 20th term. 34 x 4 = 124.
