Factor completely x2 + 20x − 36.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, identify a, b, and c of the quadratic.

a = 1, b = 20, c = |-36|

Find a*c.  That's 36.  Now find the factors of 36 and the 2 factors that can combine to give you b, which is 20, are the ones we want.

36: 1, 36

     2, 18

     3, 12

     4, 9

      6, 6

The ones that combine to give you 20 are 2, 18.  Both positive.  Therefore,

x^2+18x+2x-36 is how you begin to factor.  Factoring by grouping is the way to go.

(x^2+18x)+(2x-36)

Factor out what you can from each set of parenthesis:

x(x + 18) + 2(x + 18)

What's common now is what's inside the parenthesis, so that gets factored out:

(x + 18)(x + 2)

That's factored completely!

I actually don’t get this and I have a test in 2 days please help what is g(x) and how
nataly862011 [7]

first off, is noteworthy that's the graph of an exponential function, thus the function will be along the lines of g(x) = abˣ , now, what's "a" and "b" values?

well, let's take a peek when x = 0 and x = 1.

\bf g(x) = ab^x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} x = 0\\ y = 1 \end{cases}\implies 1=ab^0\implies 1=a(1)\implies \boxed{1=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} x = 1\\ y = 4 \end{cases}\implies 4 = ab^1\implies 4=1b^1\implies \boxed{4=b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill g(x) = 4^x\qquad \qquad \qquad \begin{array}{|c|c|ll} \cline{1-2} x&y\\ \cline{1-2} -2&\frac{1}{4^2}\to \frac{1}{16}\\ -1&\frac{1}{4}\\ 0&1\\ 1&4\\ 2&16\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}~\hfill

<span>All three sides of triangle X'Y'Z' must be parallel to the corresponding sides in triangle XYZ and the corresponding angles are congruent .

The dilated triangle will be similar to the original triangle, which means all angles will be the same. 

</span><span>The sides of the two triangles will also be parallel. You can test this by observing the slopes:
Line XY has a slope of 2/3, moving from -4,2 and passing through -1,4.
Line X'Y' has the same slope, moving from (-6,3) to (-3,5)

You can see that this is the case for all corresponding sides' slopes. </span>

A line passes through the point (8, -9) and has a slope of 3/4 . Write an equation in point-slope form for this line.​
Finger [1]

Answer:

y+9=3/4(x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-9)=3/4(x-8)

y+9=3/4(x-8)
