Answer:

Your answer would be (x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you follow the steps of factoring, first you need to set it up. I always start with the term with the variable first.

(x+_)(x+_)

And since we already know one of the factors, we can put that in our expression.

(x+6)(x+_)

Now remember the trick FOIL.

You multiply the FIRSTS together, then the OUTSIDES, then the INSIDES, and finally the LASTS.

To figure out our last blank we us this trick, but backwards. To get the 24 at the end of your expression x^2+2x-24 you multiply the LASTS together. So 6*_=-24. (remember the subtraction sign stays as a negative with the 24) That answer is -4

Hope that makes sense, and good luck!

Match each set of points with the slope of the line formed by the ordered pairs.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

(0,7) and (2,4) go to slope =-3/2

(1,-3) and (-1,-3) go to zero slope

(0,0) and (2,1) go to slope =1/2

(0,-1) and (2,-5) go to slope =-2

and (-1,3) and (-1,-3) go to no slope

State one form of the Law of Cosines and provide a trick for writing the other two forms and explain when Law of Cosines should

Yuki888 [10]

Solving for Angles

$\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} = cos∠C \\ \frac{a^2 - b^2 + c^2}{2ac} = cos∠B \\ \frac{-a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2bc} = cos∠A$

* Do not forget to use the inverse function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

Solving for Edges

$\displaystyle b^2 + a^2 - 2ba\:cos∠C = c^2 \\ c^2 + a^2 - 2ca\:cos∠B = b^2 \\ c^2 + b^2 - 2cb\:cos∠A = a^2$

You would use this law under two conditions:

One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the third edge
ALL three edges defined

* Just make sure to use the inverse function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

_____________________________________________

Now, JUST IN CASE, you would use the Law of Sines under three conditions:

Two angles and one edge defined, while trying to solve for the second edge
One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the second angle
ALL three angles defined [of which does not occur very often, but it all refers back to the first bullet]

* I HIGHLY suggest you keep note of all of this significant information. You will need it going into the future.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.

Raymond just got done jumping at Super Bounce Trampoline Center. The total cost of his session was $43.25dollar sign, 43, point,

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The equation that represents the money he spent by the time he was on the trampoline is "total amount = 7 + 1.25*x" and on that day he spent 29 minutes on the trampoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, but we can assume that the problems wants us to determine an equation for the time in minutes that Raymond spent on the Super Bounce.

In order to write this equation we will attribute a variable to the amount of time Raymond spent on the trampoline, this will be called "x". There were two kinds of fees to ride the trampoline, the first one was a fixed fee of $7 while the second one was a variable fee of $ 1.25 per minnute spent playing. So we have:

total amount = 7 + 1.25*x

Since he spent a total of $43.25 on that day we have:

1.25*x + 7 = 43.25

1.25*x = 43.25 - 7

1.25*x = 36.25

x = 36.25/1.25 = 29 minutes

The equation that represents the money he spent by the time he was on the trampoline is "total amount = 7 + 1.25*x" and on that day he spent 29 minutes on the trampoline.
