Answer:

x1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

(x+5)(x-1)

And we want to find the value of x such that the expression is positive. So, we can write this as the following inequality:

(x+5)(x-1)>0

Solve for the inequality. First, we can solve for the zeros like a normal quadratic. So, pretend the inequality is with an equal sign:

(x+5)(x-1)=0

Zero Product Property:

x+5=0\text{ or } x-1=0

On the left, subtract 5.

On the right, add 1.

So, our zeros are:

x=-5, 1

Since our inequality is a <em>greater than</em>, our answer is an "or" inequality with our answer being all the values to the <em>left</em> of our lesser zero and all the values to the <em>right </em>of our greater zero.

So, our solution is:

x1

And we're done!

Answer:

The regions where (x+5) (x-1) >0 is x< -5  or x>1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+5) (x-1) >0

First find the zeros

(x+5) =0    x-1 =0

x= -5      x=1

We then have to check the regions

x< -5              -5 <x<1                  x>1

First x< -5

(x+5) (x-1)

X+5 will be negative  ( x-1) will be negative

(-) * (-) = +  so the values will be positive

Then     -5 <x<1      

X+5  will be positive   ( x-1) will be negative

( +) * (-)  will be negative

First x>1

(x+5) (x-1)

X+5 will be positive  ( x-1) will be positive

(+) * (+) = +  so the values will be positive

The regions where (x+5) (x-1) >0 is x< -5  or x>1

Which value of x makes this sentence true?
mart [117]

Answer:

9/22

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 + x=10/11

Subtract 1/2 from each side

1/2-1/2 + x=10/11-1/2

x = 10/11 -1/2

Getting a common denominator of 22

x = 10/11*2/2  -1/2 *11/11

x = 20/22 - 11/22

x = 9/22
