If x^2-13x+42=(x+A)(x+B), then find the value of 3A-B

Answer:

- 11 or - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise

x² - 13x + 42

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)

The factors are - 6 and - 7, since

- 6 × - 7 = + 42 and - 6 - 7 = - 13, thus

x² - 13x + 42 = (x - 6)(x - 7)

compare to (x + A)(x + B)

A = - 6, B = - 7

thus 3A - B = 3(- 6) - (- 7) = - 18 + 7 = - 11

The factors may also be expressed as (x - 7)(x - 6)

with A = - 7 and B = - 6, then

3A - B = 3(- 7) - (- 6) = - 21 + 6 = - 15

Can two dot plots have the same median and range but have completely different shapes? Justify your answer using examples.
Verdich [7]
Yes because the median and range are not a function of the totality of the sample set, the median is just value that is halfway of the set. and the range are the difference of the highest and lowest value. as long as the lowest values, highest value and the halfway value are the same in each set the median and range will be equal no matter what are the other values of the set.

ASAP PLZ HELP 1 EASY QUESTION HELP :/
MrMuchimi
If 2 triangles are similar, the ratio of one side of the triangle to the corresponding side of the other is always same for all 3 sides.
We can make use of this rule to calculate the length of sides.
From the image,
3 / 15 = 6 / x
Simplify,
1 / 5 = 6 / x
Use cross method to solve this.
5 x 6 = 1 x x
X = 30
Therefore the length of x is 30ft., A.
