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).

Vince bought 6 boxes of worms to use as bait while fishing with his friends. If each person uses exactly 3/8 of a box of worms,
tia_tia [17]

We are given the following information:

<em />

<em>each person uses 3/8 a box</em>

<em>there are 6 boxes</em>

Because each box is \frac{8}{8}, and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is \frac{3}{8*6}, or \frac{3}{48}.

In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>
