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!

You would keep the 2 hour for the whole number of the mixed number and then, make the minutes (15) as a fraction with 60, and divide them both by 20. that is just for the mixed number.

HACTEHA [7]
If you do 60% then you put the percent two times over the the left so 0.60 then you would do 0.60 times 50 so that would be 30. 30 of the members must vote. Hopefully that helped?
