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).

Lightly draw a vertical line at -3 (x= -3 is the divider) on the left side graph x + 1, on the right side graph 1/2x + 2.
because these equations don't match up at the -3 coordinate, you have to draw an open (not colored in) circle at the beginning at the 1/2x-2 equation

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this we must divide 45 by 20 which gives the answer of 2.25. As we know this we now must multiply that by 8 resulting in to 18.

Therefore the answer is 18

Mickey works in a square shaped office. The area of his office is 110.25 ft2. What is the length of one side of Mickey’s office?

krek1111 [17]

Answer: A formula that can be used to find the answer is (x Squared = 110.25) So (x times x = 110.25) 10.5 is the length of one side because 10.5 squared = 110.25.

Answer is 10.5
