What are the factors of x^2-8x-20

Mathematics
1 answer:
kipiarov [429]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(x+2)(x−10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-8x-20

Factoring means  something like  this:

(x+_)(x+_)

Add together to get -8

Multiply together to get -20

think of the two numbers

Try 2 and -10:

2+-10 = -8

2*-10 = -20

Fill in the blanks of  with 2 and -10 to get

(x+_)(x+_) = (x+2)(x−10)

I hope it's right!

The sum of two positive numbers is 12. what two numbers will maximize the product g
son4ous [18]

Given two numbers x and y such that:

x + y = 12   ...    (1)


<span>two numbers will maximize the product g</span>

from  equation (1) 

y = 12 - x  

Using this value of y, we represent xy as

xy = f(x)= x(12 - x)

 f(x) = 12x - x^2

Differentiating the above function:

f'(x) = 12 - 2x

Maximum value of f(x) occurs at point for which f'(x) = 0.

Equating f'(x) to 0 we get:

12 - 2x = 0

 2x =  12

> x = 12/2 = 6

Substituting this value of x in equation (2):

y = 12 - 6 = 6

Therefore, value of xy is maximum when:

x = 6 and y = 6

The maximum value of xy = 6*6 = 36

Which sets does square 7 belong to.​
horsena [70]

Answer:Number Sets. There are sets of numbers that are used so often they have special names and symbols: ... The numbers you can make by dividing one integer by another (but not dividing by zero). In other words ... If you square a real number you always get a positive, or zero, result. ... x + 7 = 0, x = −7, Integers, set integer.

If x = 5 and 5 = y, then x = y
garri49 [273]
You are right. Transitivity means, that:
if a = b and b = c, then a = c
(here a = x, b=5 and c = y).
