IMPORTANT:
If you're trying to factor a quadratic in Algebra I:
There are no two integers that can solve this problem!
Your quadratic is <em>prime</em>!

If you're trying to solve a quadratic (find x):
The factoring approach will not work for the same reasons listed above.
Try using splitting the middle or the quadratic formula instead.

Here's how you would solve it from a more advanced approach.
If you don't know what this stuff is, just ignore it.
ab = -18, a + b = -9
Find a in terms of b.
a = -9-b
Substitute this for a in the first equation.
(-9-b)b = -18
-9b-b² = -18
Multiply everything by -1 to get rid of all these negative signs.
b² + 9b = 18
Bring over that 18.
b² + 9b - 18 = 0
Apply the quadratic formula.
(a = 1, b = 9, c = -18)
\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(1)(-18)}}{1\times2}=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81+72}}{2}=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{153}}{2}=\boxed{\frac{-9\pm3\sqrt{17}}{2}}
If you need to write two distinct numbers, just write out one with a + and one with a - in place of the plus-minus sign.

kifflom [539]

Area tells us the size of a shape or figure. It tells us the size of squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, other polygons, or any enclosed figure.

In the real world it tells us the size of pieces of paper, computer screens, rooms in houses, baseball fields, towns, cities, countries, and so on. Knowing the area can be very important. Think of getting a new carpet fitted in a room in your home. Knowing the area of the room will help make sure that the carpet you buy is big enough without having too much left over.

Calculating Area

Area is measured in squares (or square units).

How many squares are in this rectangle?

example of rectangle with area of 15 square units

We can count the squares or we can take the length and width and use multiplication. The rectangle above has an area of 15 square units.

How would you do this problem?
sweet [91]
F(x)=-5t^2+20t+60
Divide everything by -5
f(x)=t^2-4t-12
(t-6)(t+2)
Set it up to zero
t-6=0. t+2=0
t=6. t=-2
Since you can’t have negative seconds, the answer is 6 seconds
