Answer:

  x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:

  -2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1

Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:

  x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>

The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.

Match the pairs of equations that represent concentric circles. Tiles
Darina [25.2K]
I will explain you and pair two of the equations as an example to you. Then, you must pair the others.

1) Two circles are concentric if they have the same center and different radii.

2) The equation of a circle with center xc, yc, and radius r is:

(x - xc)^2 + (y - yc)^2 = r^2.

So, if you have that equation you can inmediately tell the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle.

3) You can transform the equations given in your picture to the form (x -xc)^2 + (y -yc)^2 = r2 by completing squares.

Example:

Equation: 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 12x - 6y - 21 = 0

rearrange: 3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 - 6y = 21

extract common factor 3: 3 (x^2 + 4x) + 3(y^2 -2y) = 3*7

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 7

complete squares: (x + 2)^2 - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 7

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 12 => center = (-2,1), r = √12.

equation: 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 16x - 8y - 308 = 0

rearrange: 4x^2 + 16x + 4y^2 - 8y = 308

common factor 4: 4 (x^2 + 4x) + 4(y^2 -8y) = 4*77

=> (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 77

complete squares: (x + 2)^2  - 4 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 77

=> (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 82 => center = (-2,1), r = √82

Therefore, you conclude that these two circumferences have the same center and differet r, so they are concentric.

Find the area of ΔABC. vertices are A(2, 1), B(3, 3), and C(1, 6)
Karolina [17]

Answer:

area = (1/2)|Ax(By-Cy) +Bx(Cy-Ay) +Cx(Ay-By)|

 = (1/2)|2(3-6) +3(6-1) +1(1-3)| = (1/2)|-6 +15 -2|

 area = 7/2

At a bake sale there were 90 items sold total. If 42 of the items sold were cookies and the rest were brownies what is the ratio
kari74 [83]
Firstly, you do 90 - 42 to get the amount of brownies sold, which is 48. Then, you put 42 and 48 into a ratio like 42:48. After that, all you need to do is simplify to get 7:8.
