Solve this x2 – 8x + 15

Mathematics

Answer:

x=5    x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 – 8x + 15

What two numbers multiply to 15 and add to -8

-5*-3 = 15

-5 +-3 = -8

(x-5) (x-3) =0

Using the zero product property

x-5 =0         x-3 =0

x=5                x=3

Answer:

x=5 or x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

find two numbers that add up to the middle number (-8) and multiply to equal the last number (15)

in this case -5 and -3 add to be -8 and multiply to be 15

add these numbers in place of -8x

x^2-5x-3x+15 now add parentheses

(x^2-5x) (-3x+15) take out common factors

(x-5)(x-3) now make each set of parentheses equal to zero

x-5=0 x-3=0 now solve

x=5 x=3

How do you solve these problems?
Rzqust [24]
A)

\bf log_4(x)=3\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
log_{{  a}}{{  a}}^x\implies x\qquad \qquad 
\boxed{{{  a}}^{log_{{  a}}x}=x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{we'll use this}\\
\textit{cancellation rule}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
4^{\cfrac{}{}log_4(x)}=4^3\implies x=4^3

b)

\bf 3^{2y}=81\qquad 
\begin{cases}
81=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 3^4
\end{cases}\implies 3^{2y}=3^4\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{same base}\\
exponents\\
must\ be\\
the\ same
\end{array}
\\\\\\
2y=4\implies y=\cfrac{4}{2}\implies y=2

Please help.<br> A<br> B<br> C<br> D
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

A. t(x) = 450 - 0.06x

Step-by-step explanation:

The layer which is originally 450 m thick is decreasing by 0.06 m.

450 - 0.06

... per day. x represents days.

0.06x

So,

450 - 0.06x

Someone please explain this question PART "b) i" ONLY!!!
Gnom [1K]
<h3>Answer:   (n-1)^2</h3>

This is because we have a list of perfect squares 0,1,4,9,...

We use n-1 in place of n because we're shifting things one spot to the left, since we start at 0 instead of 1.

In other words, if the answer was n^2, then the first term would be 1^2 = 1, the second term would be 2^2 = 4, and so on. But again, we started with 0^2 = 0, so that's why we need the n-1 shift.

You can confirm this is the case by plugging n = 1 into (n-1)^2 and you should find the result is 0^2 = 0. Similarly, if you tried n = 2, you should get 1^2 = 1, and so on. It appears you already wrote the answer when you wrote "Mark Scheme".

All of this only applies to sequence A.

side note: n is some positive whole number.
