What is the factored form of x^2-x-2

Mathematics
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
6 0

For this case we have:

By definition, the factorization is an algebraic expression that is used to find two or more factors, taking into account that the product of these factors must be equal to the given expression.

That is to say:

Given an expression of the form x ^ 2 + (a + b) x + ab

We can factor in the following way:

(x + a) (x + b)

Since, its product is: x ^ 2 + bx + ax + ab = x ^ 2 + (a + b) x + ab,

checking the given definition.

If we have:

x ^ 2-x-2

We can factor:

(x-2) (x + 1)

When making your product we obtain:x ^ 2 + x-2x-2 = x ^ 2-x-2

Answer:

(x-2) (x + 1)

find the length of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse of the given measure given 5 to the square root of 6
iragen [17]

In isosceles right triangle, legs are equal. Let each leg is of x units . And the given hypotenuse is 5 square 6. We use pythagorean identity here, which is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a=b=x and c= 5 square root 6

x^2 +x^2 =(5 \sqrt6)^2

2x^2 = 150

x^2 =75

x= 5 \sqrt 3

And that's the length of both the legs . ANd that's the required answer .

It’s asking to write an equation of the line with a slope...please help!!
Vlada [557]

Answer:

y = -3/4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y-intercept (0, -6) and slope -3/4 and put into y=mx+b form to solve for b

Remember that m is also known as slope!

-6=(-3/4 * 0) + b

b= -6

y= -3/4x - 6

Citrus2011 [14]
If you want to make it so that you work most of the hours on the first 4 days,  you should work 5 hours.  5*4=20,  so 1 hour would be left over on the 5th day.
