To factor x²-2x-4, you are looking to answer three questions.

1) What pair of numbers multiplies to 4?

2) What pair of numbers multiplies to 1?

3) Do these pairs when multiplied together, add/subtract to the middle term?

To answer (1), our pairs are 2 and 2, 4 and 1. Since there's a negative with 4 at the end (from question one), the signs will be opposite.

To answer (2), only pair multiplies to 1 - 1 and 1. Let's try both pairs from 1.

(x-4)(x+1) The middle term here is -3x. Nope.

(x-1)(x+4). The middle term here is 3x. Nope.

(x-2)(x+2) The middle term is 0x (or no middle term). Nope.

So x²-2x-4 does not factor.

Helpppppppp plz I'm not rlly good at area
Nitella [24]
For number 8, the area will be 350 square yard because the total area of the rectangle is 20 times 18 will equal 360 square yards, and I know that the area of the cutting rectangle is 5 times 2 equals 10 square yard, so the rest of the rectangle will be 360-10 or 350 square yards. For number 9, the area will be 28 square meters because the area of the whole rectangle is 40 square meters, and I found the area of the rectangle that already cut which equal 4 times 3 equal 12 square meters, so the area of the rectangle that does not cut will be 40-12 or 28 square meters. For number 10, the answer will be 92 square feet because the area of the complete rectangle wipp be 14 times 10 equal 140 square feet, and the area of the rectangle that already cut is 8 timed 6 equal 48 square feet, so the area that had left will equal 140-48 or 92 square feet. Hope it help!

PLZZZZ ANSWER ASAP.The blue line is the graph of y = –x + 3. Use the sliders to make the orange line represent y = –2x + 9. Exam
Elza [17]

We have been given a system of equations. y =-x + 3 and y =-2x + 9. We are asked to find the solution of our given system of equations.

The solution of our given system of equations will be the point, where both lines will intersect.

To find intersection point, we will equate both equations as:

-x + 3=-2x + 9

-x + 3-3=-2x + 9-3

-x=-2x +6

-x+2x=-2x+2x +6

x=6

Now we will substitute x=6 in equation  y =-x + 3 and solve for y.

y =-x+ 3\Rightarrow -6+3=-3

Therefore, the point (6,-3) is the solution of our given system of equations.

We can verify our answer by graphing both equations.

Kay [80]
0.5 is half of a gallon.
So, we do 17 / 2 = 8.5
8.5 * 7 (number of days in a week) = 59.5
Katrina drinks 59.5 cups of water in a week.
