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!

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

3: No

4: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

3: It won't because not everyone is the same height and there will be variation in the mean height.

4: A larger sample size will give a more accurate representation of the population, where as a sample size of 5 is much more likely to have a higher percentage of outliers, and each outlier matters much more in finding the mean. In a sample size of 25, each outlier matters much less.

Give me an example of a decimal that is irrational...then show me the ratio.
irina [24]
The number 2.71828182846... is irrational since the decimal portion "71828182846" goes on forever without any pattern. We cannot write this as a fraction or ratio of whole numbers.

Can someone explain this please?
Greeley [361]
\left( 8 \times 10^{-5}\right)\cdot \left( 5 \times 10^{-6}\right)\\ \\ =\left( 8 \times 5\right)\cdot \left( 10^{-5} \times 10^{-6}\right)

1) first do the integer part \left( 8 \times 5\right)=40 

2) then do the exponent part \left( 10^{-5} \times 10^{-6}\right) = ???

3) Once you  do the first two steps...  adjust your answer to scientific notation...
