The model represents x2 – 9x + 14. An algebra tile configuration showing only the Product spot. 24 tiles are in the Product spot

: 1 is labeled + x squared, 9 are labeled negative x, and 14 are labeled +. Which is a factor of x2 – 9x + 14? x – 9 x – 2 x + 5 x + 7
The answer is x-2

I didn't get all the part with the tiles, but here's the general answer:

given a polynomial

p(x)=ax^2+bx+c

we have that x-k is a factor of p(x) if and only if k is a root of p(x), i.e. if

p(k)=ak^2+bk+c=0

So, given the polynomial

p(x)=x^2-9x+14

We can check if x-9 is a factor by evaluating p(9):

p(9)=81-81+14=14\neq 0

So, x-9 is not a factor.

Similarly, we can evaluate p(2),\ p(-5),\ p(-7) to check if x-2,\ x+5,\ x+7 are factors:

p(2)=4-18+14=0,\quad p(-5)=25+45+14=84\neq 0,\quad p(-7)=49+63+14=126 \neq 0

So, only x-2 is a factor of x^2-9x+14

Give the value of x .<br><br> A. 60 degrees<br> B. 180 degrees<br> C. 120 degrees<br> D. 45 degrees
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

x=120°

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180

let the unknown angle be

\alpha

60 + 60 +  \alpha  = 180 \\  \alpha  = 180 - 60 - 60 \\  \alpha  = 60 \\

\alpha  + x = 180 \\ x = 180 -  \alpha  \\ x = 180 - 60 \\ x = 120
