What two numbers multiply to negative 8 but add to negative 7

Mathematics
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
6 0
Let "a" and "b" be the two numbers
So a*b=-8 and a+b=-7
Therefore S=-7 and P=-8
Using (x^2)-S+P=0 => (x^2)-(-7)+(-8)=0 => (x^2)+7-8=0
By factorizing we get (x+8)(x-1)=0
So a can be either -8 or 1 and b can be 1 or -8 
Meaning that the two numbers are -8 and 1.

How do u compare rate of change and slope help plz
antoniya [11.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is described by the the initial and final value of one quantity over the difference between the initial and final of the other

Rate: for points on a Cartesian plane,(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

the slope, m= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The rate of change on the other hand is mostly refers to how much a quantity is changing with time i.e the rate of change of y from y1 to y2 can be expressed as

rate = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)...where t1 and t2 are the various time in y1 and y2 respectively...

Step-by-step explanation:

(5a+\frac{1}{2} b)^{2}

1. First, write out the expression without the square

(5a+\frac{1}{2} b)(5a+\frac{1}{2} b)

2. Then use foil to multiply:

5a*5a+5a*\frac{1}{2}b+\frac{1}{2}b*5a+\frac{1}{2}b*\frac{1}{2}b

=25a^{2}+5ab+\frac{b^{2} }{4}

3. That is your answer.
