Answer:
In the first one you are missing (x - 3) so it will be 4(x - 3) and if you factor it out it will be 4x - 12
In the second one you are missing a (x -5)which means 9x(x -5) or when you factor it out it will be 9x^2 - 45x
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 -23x + 40 = (3x - 8) (x - 5)
3x^2 -17x + 24 = (3x -8) ( x - 3)
The pattern is:
( a - b )² = a² - 2 a b + b² ( square of last term of binomial - the missing term)
x² - 2 · 8 · x + 8² = x² - 16 x + 64 = ( x - 8 )²
The missing term is: 64

ANSWER: ? = -21
P/s: ? = x < let ? is x >
ok done. Thank to me :>
Answer:
8 < x < 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider an angle slightly less than 180 between the 4 and 12 ft sides. The measure between the 2 end points is slightly less than the total of the two sides. So the greatest length is 16.
Consider an angle slightly more than 0 between the 4 and 12 ft sides. The measure between the 2 end points is slightly more than the difference between the two sides. So the lowest length is 8.
