If you would like to find 2 numbers which you can add up to get 24 and multiply to get -25, you can calculate this using the following steps:
a + b = 24 ... b = 24 - a
a * b = -25 ... a * (24 - a) = -25 ... 24 * a - a^2 = -25 ... 0 = a^2 - 24 * a - 25
0 = (a - 25) * (a + 1)
1. a = 25
2. a = -1
b = 24 - a
1. b = 24 - 25 = -1
2. b = 24 - (-1) = 25
The numbers you are looking for are -1 and 25.
Answer:
gay
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x+1 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = Length * Width
x^2 - 6x - 7 = length * (x-7)
x^2 + x - 7x - 7 = length * ( x-7)
x*(x+1) - 7*(x+1) = length * (x-7)
(x-7)*(x+1) = length * (x-7)
x+1 = length [for (x-7) not equal 0]
The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
