A) x^2 +x -30 = 0 is factored by looking for two factors of 30 that differ by 1. We know ... 30 = 1*30 = 2*15 = 3*10 = 5*6The last two factors differ by 1, so we can factor the trinomial as (x +6)(x -5) = 0
b) The solutions are found by finding values of x that make these factors zero. The only way the product will be zero is if one or more of the factors is zero. x + 6 = 0 x = -6 . . . . . subtract 6
x - 5 = 0 x = 5 . . . . . add 5
The solutions are x = -6 or x = 5These are the values of x that will satisfy the equation (make it true). What they mean depends on the meaning of the variable and the situation the equation is a model of.

<h3>Answer: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 (choice A)</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

If we plug in x = -2, then we get,

y = x^2 + 7x - 9

y = (-2)^2 + 7(-2) - 9

y = 4 - 14 - 9

y = -10 - 9

y = -19

So x = -2 leads to y = -19. The answer is between A and D.

---------

If you repeat those steps for x = -1, then you should get y = -15

Then x = 0 leads to y = -9

x = 1 leads to y = -1

Finally, x = 2 leads to y = 9

The outputs we get are: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 which is choice A

Choice D is fairly close, but we won't have a second copy of -15, and we don't have an output of -19.

Solve <br>In 2x + In 2=0

irakobra [83]

Solving $ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$ we get, $x=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve: $ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$

Solving:

$ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$

Adding -ln(2) on both sides:

$ln(2x)+ln(2)-ln(2)=0-ln(2)$

$ln(2x)=-ln(2)$

Using logarithmic rule: if $log_a b =c\,\,then\,\, b=a^c$

So,

$2x=e^{-ln(2)}$

Simplifying:

$2x=(e^{ln(2)})^{-1}\\e^{ln(2)}=2\\2x=(2)^{-1}\\2x=\frac{1}{2} \\x=\frac{1}{2x2}\\x=\frac{1}{4}$

So, Solving $ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$ we get, $x=\frac{1}{4}$

A rectangular swimming pool has an area of (70x+10) square feet. Find possible dimensions of the pool.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

10 and 7x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 70x + 10.

Let's factor 70x + 10.

Factor out a common factor of 10.

70x + 10 = 10(7x + 1)

Since the area of a rectangle is length * width, we can let one factor be the length and the other factor be the width.

Possible dimensions are 10 and 7x + 1
