Factor the expressions. x2 + 22x + 120 =

Answer:

(x + 10 and (x + 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 22x + 120 = ( ? )( ? )

We need to find two constants whose product is 120 and whose sum is 22.

Let the two constants be a and b.  Then:

a*b = 120 and a + b = 22.

It's a bit easier to find a and b such that a + b = 22:  2 and 20, 4 and 18, 6 and 16, and so on.  Note that 6 + 16 = 22 (correct) but that 6*16 = 96 (not correct).  Try 8 and 14, 10 and 12.  Note that 10 + 12 = 22 and that 10*12 = 120.  So the desired roots are {10, 12} and the desired factors are (x + 10 and (x + 12).

Check:  Does (x + 10)(x + 12) work out to x^2 + 22x + 120?

                       x^2 + 12x + 10x + 120 = x^2 + 22x + 120?  YES

The factors are (x + 10 and (x + 12).

Why is (5+2) to the second power is not equal to 5 to the second power plus 2 to the second power is not equal
Olin [163]
Because 5 +2 is 7 and seven to the second power is 49. On the other hand 5 squared is 25 and 2 to the second power is 4 when you ad them together you get 29 you are taking to completely different numbers to the power of two and that’s why they aren’t equal

How do you do these two questions?
nignag [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) ∫₋ₒₒ°° f(x) dx

We can split this into three integrals:

= ∫₋ₒₒ⁻¹ f(x) dx + ∫₋₁¹ f(x) dx + ∫₁°° f(x) dx

Since the function is even (symmetrical about the y-axis), we can further simplify this as:

= ∫₋₁¹ f(x) dx + 2 ∫₁°° f(x) dx

The first integral is finite, so it converges.

For the second integral, we can use comparison test.

g(x) = e^(-½ x) is greater than f(x) = e^(-½ x²) for all x greater than 1.

We can show that g(x) converges:

∫₁°° e^(-½ x) dx = -2 e^(-½ x) |₁°° = -2 e^(-∞) − -2 e^(-½) = 0 + 2e^(-½).

Therefore, the smaller function f(x) also converges.

(b) The width of the intervals is:

Δx = (3 − -3) / 6 = 1

Evaluating the function at the beginning and end of each interval:

f(-3) = e^(-9/2)

f(-2) = e^(-2)

f(-1) = e^(-1/2)

f(0) = 1

f(1) = e^(-1/2)

f(2) = e^(-2)

f(3) = e^(-9/2)

Apply Simpson's rule:

S = Δx/3 [f(-3) + 4f(-2) + 2f(-1) + 4f(0) + 2f(1) + 4f(2) + f(3)]

S ≈ 2.5103
