There is an app that will help for these types of questions called, "Showmath."
Answer:
(x - 8)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 24
Consider the factors of - 24 which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)
The factors are - 8 and + 3 , since
- 8 × + 3 = - 24 and - 8 + 3 = - 5
Use these factors to split the x- term
x² - 8x + 3x - 24 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8) ← factor out (x - 8) from each term
= (x - 8)(x + 3) ← in factored form
Answer:\
3 inches does not even equal a whole yard it equals 0.08 of a yard
There actually isn't anything to 'work'. There's no question there.
The function simply describes the relationship between two numbers.
It says that whatever you pick for the first number, the second number is
(-4 times the square of the first one) plus (7 times the first one) plus (6) .
Your teacher may have assigned you something to do with the function,
like draw the graph of it, or find its maximum value (2.9375), or find where
it crosses the x-axis (2.381 and -0.63) or the y-axis (6).
But we can't tell what you've been assigned to do with it. The function alone,
just as you've posted it, isn't asking a question, and doesn't call for any work.
