What is the factored form of x2 - 12x - 45?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Olenka [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(x - 15)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 45 include 5 and 9, 3 and 15, 1 and 45, and so on.

Note that 3*15 =+45; this is not what we wanted.  Thus, try (-3)*15 = -45.

Do -3 and 15 combine to yield -12?  No.  Thus drop (-3)(15) and try (3)(-15).

Do 3 and -15 combine to yield -12?  YES

Therefore, the factored form of x² - 12x - 45 is (x - 15)(x + 3).

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma. -7x + 2y = -8 -16x + 9y = 26
Goryan [66]
(4,10). 
1. There are three ways to solve this: elimination, substitution, graphing.
2. I chose elimination, so I had to get one negative variable and one positive variable of the same value (for example, 18 and -18)

-7x+2y=-8
-16x+9y=26
I chose to get 2y and 9y to equal -18y and 18y. 
So, multiply the first equation by -9. Multiply the second by 2.
63x-18y=72
-32x+18y=52
the 18s cross each other out. So you're left with
63x=72
-32x=52. Add them. 
31x=124, divide both sides by 31, and you'll get 4. 
x=4
Plug your answer for x into one of the equations. Let's use the first one.
-7(4)+2y=-8
-28+2y=-8. add 28 to both sides.
2y=20, divide both sides by 2.
y=10. 
This makes your answer (4,10)

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the line: y=-4x
lapo4ka [179]
Equation y=-4x
m=-4. Slope is -4 y-intercept is 0

y-12=2(x-1)
y-12=2x-2
y=2x-2+12
y=2x+10
