Explanation:
It helps to understand the process of multiplying the binomials. Consider the simple case ...
(x +a)(x +b)
The product is ...
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x + ab
If the <em>constant</em> term (ab) is <em>negative</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) are <em>different</em>.
If the constant term (ab) is <em>positive</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) will both match the sign of the coefficient of the linear term (a+b).
___
Of course, the sum (a+b) will have the sign of the (a) or (b) value with the largest magnitude, so when the signs of (a) and (b) are different, the factor with the largest magnitude will have the sign of (a+b), the x-coefficient.
<u>Example</u>:
x² -x -6
-6 tells you the factors will have different signs. -x tells you the one with the largest magnitude will be negative.
-6 = -6×1 = -3×2 = ... (other factor pairs have a negative factor with a smaller magnitude)
The sums of these factor pairs are -5 and -1. We want the factor pair that has a sum of -1, the coefficient of x in the trinomial.
x² -x -6 = (x -3)(x +2)
Answer:
The answer is A. 144 Inches
Step-by-step explanation:
In one yard, there are 36 inches. You multiply the length value by 36.
4x36=144

Answer:
The mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
mean length of 4 childrens' big finger, x' = 14cm
mean length of 9 adults' big finger is 16.1cm, x'' = 16.1cm
Let the total length of the 4 childrens' big finger = t
Let the total length of the 9 adults' big finger = T
The total length of the 13 people's big finger = t + T
= 56 + 144.9
=200.9 cm
The mean length of these 13 people's big finger;
x''' = (200.9) / 13
x''' = 15.4539 cm
x''' = 15.45 cm (2 DP)
Therefore, the mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm
The answer is 11.2
The Pythagorean Theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
From the picture, we know one side, and the hypotenuse.
10^2+b^2=15^2
100+b^2=225
b^2=225
Sqrtb^2=sqrt225
b=11.18
Rounded to the nearest tenth it is 11.2
