Answer:

= (x+4) (x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-3x -28

Product = -28

Sum = -3

numbers = -7 and 4

Thus;

x²- 3x -28 ; replacing -3x with -7x and 4x

x²-7x +4x -28

x(x-7) + 4(x-7)

<u>= (x+4) (x-7) </u>

Answer:

(x-7)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given an expression.

x²-3x-28

We have to factorize given expression.

Split the middle term of above expression so that the sum of two term should be -3 and their product be -28.

x²-7x+4x-28

Making groups and taking common , we have

x(x-7)+4(x-7)

Taking (x-7) as common, we have

(x-7)(x+4) which is the answer.

Directed line segment has endpoints P(– 8, – 4) and Q(4, 12). Determine the point that partitions the directed line segment in a

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Point (1,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use segment formula to find the coordinates of point that will partition our line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.

When a point divides any segment internally in the ratio m:n, the formula is:

$[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y= \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]$

Let us substitute coordinates of point P and Q as:

$x_1=-8$ ,

$y_1=-4$

$x_2=4$

$y_2=12$

$m=3$

$n=1$

$[x=\frac{(3*4)+(1*-8)}{3+1},y=\frac{(3*12)+(1*-4)}{3+1}]$

$[x=\frac{12-8}{4},y=\frac{36-4}{4}]$

$[x=\frac{4}{4},y=\frac{32}{4}]$

$[x=1,y=8]$

Therefore, point (1,8) will partition the directed line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.
