answer

D 2

factor

factor the equation x^{2} - 2x - 8 = 0  into (x + a)  and (x + b) so that a + b = -2 and a * b = -8

the two numbers that meet these conditions are a = -4 and b = 2

x^{2} - 2x - 8 = (x - 4)(x + 2)

find solutions

set both (x - 4) and (x + 2) equal to zero to find your solutions

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

add solutions

since the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -2, add them together to get your final answer

4 + (-2) = 2

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 75 75 square feet. its length is 10 10 feet longer than the width. find the length a
ziro4ka [17]
A = L * W
A = 75
L = W + 10

75 = W(W + 10)
75 = W^2 + 10W
W^2 + 10W - 75 = 0
(W + 15)(W - 5) = 0

W + 15 = 0
W = -15...not this one because it is negative

W - 5 = 0
W = 5 <=== width is 5 ft

L = W + 10
L = 5 + 10
L = 15 <=== length is 15 ft

A direct variation function contains the points (2, 14) and (4, 28). Which equation represents the function?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x the the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the points given

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{14}{2} = \frac{28}{4} = 7

y = 7x ← equation representing the function
