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.

Simplify (4^7/5^2)^3
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4²¹/5⁶ or 4398046511104/15625

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, when raising a term with an exponent to some power, you must multiply the powers.

(\frac{4^{7} }{5^{2} })^{3} \\\\ = (\frac{(4^{7})^{3} }{(5^{2})^{3} }) \\\\= \frac{4^{7 * 3} }{5^{2* 3} } \\\\= \frac{4^{21} }{5^{6} } \\\\=\frac{4398046511104}{15625}

Ericka decided to compare her observation to the average annual trend, which shows the water rising 1.8 mm/year. Remember, she u
Alex787 [66]

Answer with explanation:

Presume that, initial water level to be, 0 mm, at a time t=0.

And water level is rising at the rate of 1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}.

 After 6.2 years level of water will be =1.8 × 6.2

                                                           =11.16 mm

→Averge, that is increase in water level after 6.2 years is given by

                     =\frac{W_{2}-W_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}\\\\=\frac{11.16-0}{6.2-0}\\\\=\frac{11.16}{6.2}\\\\=1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}

→→Rate of Depreciating of water level is given by = Negative of Increase of water level=-1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}
