Answer:

(f+4)(f−5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle number is -1 and the last number is -20.

Factoring means we want something like

(f+_)(f+_)

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -1

Multiply together to get -20

4+-5 = -1

4*-5 = -20

Fill in the blanks in

(f+_)(f+_)

with 4 and -5 to get...

(f+4)(f-5)

Hey!!

Solution,

f^2-f-20

= f^2-(5-4)f-20

= f^2-5f+4f-20

= f(f-5)+4(f-5)

=(f-5)(f+4)

So the answer is (f-5)(f+4)

Hope it helps..

Good luck on your assignment

How many solution does this have and how do you solve it

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of solutions a system has, you need its slope. If the slopes are the same, check if the equations are equivalent or not.

To find the slope, rearrange the equation to isolate "y", which makes it slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

"x" and "y" represent points on the line.

"m" represents the slope, which is how steep a line is.

"b" represents the y-intercept (where the graph hits the y-axis).

Isolate "y" in both equations:

x + 3y = 0

3y = -x Subtract 'x' from both sides

y = -x/3 Divide both sides by 3.

y = $-\frac{1}{3}x$

The slope is -1/3.

9y = -3x

y = -3x/9 Divide both sides by 9

y = $-\frac{3}{9}x$ Reduce the fraction to lowest terms

y = $-\frac{1}{3}x$

The slope is -1/3, but the two equations are the same.

Since the equations are the same, or equivalent, the two lines are always touching. The solution of a system means where two lines intersect, or meet. Therefore, there are infinite solutions.

Identity the composite number represented by the prime factorization below

Korolek [52]

Answer:look below

Step-by-step explanation: The prime factorization of number is the break down into factors which are prime numbers (numbers without factors except 1 and itself). The factors 22 and 32 are composite numbers since they have more than 1 and itself as factors. They are not prime.

However, the factorization of 22 * 32 * 5 will equal a number. 22*32*5 = 3, 520. But it does not match the solutions given.

Help? mathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a + 20 = 7*12 (multiplied both sides by 12)

a + 20 = 84 (calculated 7*12)

a = 84 - 20 (subtracted 20 on both sides)

a = 64 (calculated 84-20)
