Answer:

x = -5 or  x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is :

x²+9x+20 = 0

We have to solve it by factoring.

Step 1.  Split the middle term of given equation so that the sum of two term should be 9 and their product be 20.

x²+5x+4x+20 = 0

Step 2.  Making groups ang taking common terms.

x(x+5)+4(x+5) = 0

Step 3.  Taking (x+5) as common,we get

(x+5)(x+4) = 0

Step 4. Applying Zero-Product Property to above equation,we get

x+5 = 0 or x+4 = 0

x = -5 or  x = -4 which is the answer.

Answer:

We have been given an equation x^2+9x+20=0

We will factorize it by  middle term splitting.

Step 1: x^2+5x+4x+20=0

Taking common factors out by clubing first two terms ad last two terms

Step 2: x(x+5)+4(x+5)=0

Step 3: (x+4)(x+5)=0

Equating both above factors to zero as:

Step 4: (x+4)=0\Rightarrow x=-4

   And (x+5)=0\Rightarrow x=-5.

Assume Cylinder A and Cone B are the same height and the bases have the same radius. If A has a volume of 18π cm3, what is the v
disa [49]

Answer:

Option A  V_B=19\ cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is:

V_B = \pi\frac{hr ^ 2}{3}

The volume of a cylinder is:

V_A = \pi(r ^ 2)h

Both figures have the same height h and the same radius r.

The volume of the cylinderV_A = 18\pi\ cm ^ 3

We want to find the volume of the cone.

Then, we find r and h:

V_A = 18\pi = \pi(r ^ 2)h

We simplify.

V_A = 18 = (r ^ 2)h

Then the product of (r ^ 2)h = 18.

We substitute this in the cone formula and get:

V_B =\frac{\pi}{3}(18)\\\\V_B = \frac{18}{3}\pi\\\\V_B=19\ cm^3

Let f(y) = y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3 and g(y) = y^3 + 7y^2 - 2. Find f(y) + g(y). Write your answer as a polynomial with terms of decre
Anarel [89]
<h3>Answer:   y^4 - 2y^3 + 7y^2 + y - 5</h3>

Work Shown:

h(y) = f(y) + g(y)

h(y) = (y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3) + (y^3 + 7y^2 - 2)  

h(y) = y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3 + y^3 + 7y^2 - 2  

h(y) = y^4 + (-3y^3+y^3) + 7y^2 + y + (-3 - 2)

h(y) = y^4 - 2y^3 + 7y^2 + y - 5

This is a fourth degree polynomial (aka quartic).

Kiwi and Corn got into an argument over if 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for 6. Do you think 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

No, it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

comparing the two given values, 1.75 and 6, estimating 1.75 for 6 is not reasonable. This is due to the fact that converting 1.75 to the nearest whole number gives 2 which is far away from 6. Since,

   6 - 2 = 4

So, estimating 1.75 for 6 would involve a large value of error. Which make it unreasonable. It would have been more reasonable to estimate 1.75 for 2.
