Answer: (x-8)(x+3)=0


Step-by-step explanation:

The standard quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c=0

Given quadratic equation:-x^2-5x-24=0, here a=1, b= -5, c= -24

Now, factorize given functions, first find two numbers that multiply to give ac and add to give b

ac=1×-24= -24

After checking factors of -24 we found -8 and 3 which multiply to give -24 and add to give -5

Rewrite the equation by writing -5 as sum of -8 and 3, we get

x^2+(-8+5)x-24=0\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-8x+3x-24=0\\\Rightarrow\ (x^2-8x)+(3x-24)=0\\\Rightarrow\ x(x-8)+3(x-8)=0\\\\[\text{Take (x-8) as common outside}]\\\Rightarrow\ (x-8)(x+3)=0

X² - 5x - 24 = 0

x² ⇒ x * x ⇒ (x + __) (x - __)
24 ⇒ 8 * 3 
-5 ⇒ - 8 + 3

(x - 8)(x + 3) = 0

x(x+3) - 8(x+3) = x² + 3x - 8x - 24 = x² - 5x - 24 

(x-8) = 0
x = 8

(x+3) = 0
x = -3

Answer:

a) x > − 24 \frac{3}{4}

b) x < − 3

c) q < 56

Step-by-step explanation:

a) −2/5x−9<9/10

<=> 2/5x + 9 > − 9/10

<=> 2/5x > − 9/10 − 9

<=> 2×2/2×5x > − 9/10 − 9×10/10

<=> 4/10x > − 99/10

<=> x > − 99/4

<=> x > − 24 \frac{3}{4}

b) 4x+6<−6

<=> 4x < − 6 − 6

<=> 4x < − 12

<=> x < − 12/4

<=> x < − 3

c) q+12−2(q−22)>0

<=> q+12−2q −2×(−22)>0

<=> (q−2q) + (12+ 44) >0

<=> −q + 56 >0

<=> q < 56

Can someone help me solve (a) and (c) pls.<br>Thanks ​
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Area of ABCD = 959.93 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

a). By applying Sine rule in the ΔABD,

  \frac{\text{SinA}}{46}=\frac{\text{Sin}\angle{DBA}}{35}

  \frac{\text{Sin110}}{46}=\frac{\text{Sin}\angle{DBA}}{35}

 Sin∠DBA = \frac{35\times \text{Sin}(110)}{46}

 m∠DBA = \text{Sin}^{-1}(0.714983)

 m∠DBA = 45.64°

 Therefore, m∠ADB = 180° - (110° + 45.64°) = 24.36°

                  m∠ADB = 24.36°

c). Area of ABCD = Area of ΔABD + Area of ΔBCD

  Area of ΔABD = AD×BD×Sin(\frac{24.36}{2})

                           = 35×46Sin(12.18)

                           = 339.68 units²

   Area of ΔBCD = BD×BC×Sin(\frac{59.92}{2})°

                            = 46×27×(0.4994)

                            = 620.25 units²

   Area of ABCD = 339.68 + 620.25

                            = 959.93 units²

Triangle XYZ is isosceles. Angle Y measures a°. What expression represents the measure of angle X?
lara [203]
The isosceles triangle has two sides congruent which mean they are equal. If two sides are equal, it also means that two angles are equal. 

For triangle XYZ, we have angles shown below:
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°

If ∠Y = a°, then we can have the expression for ∠X such as shown below:
∠X + a° + ∠Z =180°
∠X= 180° - a° - ∠Z

If ∠Z = ∠Y, then we have the final expression:
∠X = 180° -2a°

The cube root of a number is 2. Write an equation, using x, that represents this situation.
Kay [80]

Answer:

x - 8 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the cube root of a number is 2.

Let the number be x.

Therefore,

\sqrt[3]{x}  = 2 \\  cubing \: both \: sides \\  {( \sqrt[3]{x})}^{3}  =  {(2)}^{3}  \\   x = 8 \\  x - 8 = 0
