I’m assuming what you’re asking here is how to *factor* this expression. For that, let’s rearrange the expression into a more familiar form:
-c^2-4c+21
From here, we’ll factor out a -1 so that we have:
-(c^2+4c-21)
Let’s focus on the quadratic expression inside the parentheses. To find our factors (c + x)(c + y), we’ll need to find two terms x and y that multiply together to make -21 and add together to make 4. It turns out that the numbers -3 and 7 work out perfectly for that purpose (-3 x 7 = -21 and 7 + (-3) = 4), so substituting them in for x and y, we have:
(c + (-3))(c + 7)
(c - 3)(c + 7)
And adding back on the negative from a few steps earlier:
-(c - 3)(c + 7)
Answer:
the standard form of the equation is: a. y=7x^2-42x+67
Answer:
36.5cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of quarter circle=8²
/4=64
/4=16
cm²
Area of square+Area of shaded region =2(16
)=32
=100.5cm²
Area of square=8²=64cm²
Area of shaded region=100.5cm²-64cm²=36.5cm²
Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 36.5cm².
Let us denote the smaller even integer by

.
Then, the next even integer must be

.
To verify, set

as any even number, say

.
Then, the next even integer must be 2 more than this number, i.e.

.
The sum of these two consecutive even integers can be expressed as:

We are told that this sum divided by four is 189.5, i.e.

Multiplying both sides by 4 will reverse the division:

Subtracting 2 from each side will reverse the addition:

Dividing both sides by 2 will reverse the multiplication:

Therefore, the two consecutive integers must be
378 and
380.
