a.

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81

----------

The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.

w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

================================================

b.

The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored

The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25

---------

Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.

If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)

The graph of the function f(x) = (x − 3)(x + 1) is shown.
Travka [436]

Answer:

Real values of x where x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Above the x-axis, the function is positive.

The function is decreasing when the gradient is negative.

The function has a positive

{x}^{2}

coefficient, therefore the vertex is a local minimum;

This means the gradients are negative before the vertex and positive after it;

To meet the conditions therefore, the function must be before the vertex and above the x-axis;

This will be anywhere before the x-intercept at x = -1;

Hence it is when x < -1.

ohaa [14]
You would do an arithmetic sequence
use A1 +(n-1)d to calculate number of seats in the last row

An = 4+(24-1)5
An = 4 + (23)(5)
An = 4 + 115
An = 119 seats in the last row

now use a sum sequence to find total number of seats

Sn = n(a1 + an)/2 
Sn = 24(4+119)/2 
Sn = 24(123) /2 
Sn = 1476 total seats

The height of an equilateral triangle is 13 feet. The triangles area is 39 feet squared. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

It is 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

A= 1/2bh so now you would substitute

39= 1/2(13)h

78= 13h

6=h
