So focusing on x^4 + 5x^2 - 36, we will be completing the square. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -36x^4 and a sum of 5x^2? That would be 9x^2 and -4x^2. Replace 5x^2 with 9x^2 - 4x^2: 
Next, factor x^4 + 9x^2 and -4x^2 - 36 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses: 
Now you can rewrite this as 
, however this is not completely factored. With (x^2 - 4), we are using the difference of squares, which is 
. Applying that here, we have 
. x^4 + 5x^2 - 36 is completely factored.
Next, focusing now on 2x^2 + 9x - 5, we will also be completing the square. What two terms have a product of -10x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be 10x and -x. Replace 9x with 10x - x: 
Next, factor 2x^2 + 10x and -x - 5 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as 
. 2x^2 + 9x - 5 is completely factored.

Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The amount that the agency make on the house will be 25% of $360,000. This will be:
= 25% × $360,000
= 25/100 × $360,000
= 0.25 × $360,000
= $90,000
b. The amount that the agent earn in commission will be:
= 30% × $90,000
= 30/100 × $90,000
= 0.3 × $90,000
= $27,000
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
Count the dot
The answer is 4 1/6 because 4/1 + 1/6= 25/6 = 4 1/6.
A number is prime if its only divisors are 1 and the number itself.
Out of your numbers, 36 and 38 are even, and thus divisible by 2, so they aren't prime.
Similarly, 35 ends with 5, so it's divisible by 5, and is not prime.
37 is divisible only by 1 and 37, and thus it's prime.
