Answer:

The factors of x² - 3·x - 18, are;

(x - 6), (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic expression is presented as follows;

x² - 3·x - 18

To factorize the given expression, we look for two numbers, which are the constant terms in the factors, such that the sum of the numbers is -3, while the product of the numbers is -18

By examination, we have the numbers -6, and 3, which gives;

-6 + 3 = -3

-6 × 3 = -18

Therefore, we can write;

x² - 3·x - 18 = (x - 6) × (x + 3)

Which gives;

(x - 6) × (x + 3) = x² + 3·x - 6·x - 18 = x² - 3·x - 18

Therefore, the factors of the expression, x² - 3·x - 18, are (x - 6) and (x + 3)

8 &lt; 4(x+1) show your work
kati45 [8]
8 < 4 (x + 1)   Use the Distributive Property
8 < 4x + 4       Subtract 4 from both sides
4 < 4x             Divide both sides by 4
1 < x
