Answer:

Prime

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 20x − 36

You must find a pair of numbers that multiply to give -36 and add to give +20.

The likely candidates are 2 and 18, and they must have opposite signs to give a negative product.

+2 × (-18) = -36; +2 + (-18) = -16

-2 × 18 = -36; -2 + 8 = +16

Neither combination gives +20 as the sum.

The expression can't be factored with rational numbers.

The expression is prime.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Represent the following expressions as a power of the number a where a≠0.

Step2247 [10]

After using the property of power, the expressions as a power of the number a is $(a^3)^{-2} = a^{-6}$ , $(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{9}$ and $((a^2)^{-2})^2=a^{-8}$ .

In the given question we have to solve the given expressions as a power of the number a where a≠0.

The first given expression is $(a^3)^{-2}$ .

Using the property of multiplication of power; $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$ .

Simplifying the expression.

$(a^3)^{-2} = a^{3*(-2)}$

$(a^3)^{-2} = a^{-6}$

The second expression is $(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3}$

Using the property of multiplication of power; $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$ .

$(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{(-1)\times(-3)}\cdot a^{(-2)\times(-3)}$

$(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{3}\cdot a^{6}$

Using the property of sum of power $a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}$

$(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{(3+6)}$

$(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{9}$

The third expression is $((a^2)^{-2})^2$ .

Using the property of multiplication of power; $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$ .

$((a^2)^{-2})^2=((a^2)^{(-2)\times2})$

$((a^2)^{-2})^2=(a^2)^{-4}$

Again using the property of multiplication of power; $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$ .

$((a^2)^{-2})^2=a^{2\times(-4)}$

$((a^2)^{-2})^2=a^{-8}$

Umnica [9.8K]

Technically the answer is both A and C, because you can see it as (x-8)^1, meaning 8 to the right, or just x-8, meaning 8 down.
