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.
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that A, B and C are subsets of universal set U.
We have to prove that
Proof:
Let x
Then 
and 
When 
then 
but 
Therefore, 
but 
Hence, it is true.
Conversely , Let 
but 
Then 
and
When 
then
Therefor,
Hence, the statement is true.
-2,2 is the answer hoped it helped :)
5.3 repeating is the answer
