Answer:
The other factor is (x + 2).
Step-by-step explanation:
If x - 10 is a factor of x^2 - 8x - 20 then we must find another factor that includes +2x, so that we have -10x + 2x = -8x. That factor is (x + 2):
x^2 - 8x - 20 = (x - 10)(x + 2)
As a test, multiply -10 and +2. We get -20, matching the constant of the given polynomial. Also, -10x + 2x = -8x, another match.
Answer: Irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
THE ANSWER SHOULD BE 22.70
Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.
No, 0.062 is greater by a very small amount of point 2
