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).

Complete the square on the following quadratic x2+10x+9=0
kakasveta [241]
Given a quadratic equation x^{2} +ax+c=0

1. the first thing we do when we want to compete the square, is write the coefficient of x as 2 times a number.

In our case the coefficient of x is 10, so we write 10 as 2*5

2. then we write + 5^{2} and - 5^{2} to the expression:

x^{2} +2*5*x+ 5^{2} -5^{2}+9=0

(x^{2} +2*5*x+ 5^{2}) -25+9=0

(x+5)^{2}-16=0



Answer: (x+5)^{2}-16=0
