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!

Solve the following quadratic equation by the square root method. (Y-9)^2=64
enot [183]

Hello!

To solve this, first perform the opposite operation for the last operation (on the left side) on both sides. The last operation of the left side is squaring. Therefore, square root both sides.

(y - 9)^{2}  = 64

y - 9 = ±\sqrt{64}

y - 9 = ±8

Please note that you must include ±. This is because the square root of 64 can be either positive or negative, as a square of either a positive or negative number is positive.

Now, add 9 to both sides.

y  = 9±8

There are 2 solutions from here. One comes from adding 8, and the other subtracting 8. Therefore, the two solutions are:

y = 9 + 8 = 17

y = 9 - 8 = 1

Therefore, your two solutions are 17 and 1.

Hope this helps!

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE
lawyer [7]

Answer:

y = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use proportions to answer this question.

\frac{30}{-3} =\frac{y}{-9}

Cross multiply 30 to -9; -3 to y

-270=-3y

Isolate <em>y</em> by dividing -3 on both sides

y=90

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

32 people came in blue cars and 6 people came in red cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Technically, all 48 people came in red or blue cars, but I'm assuming that's not what the question is asking.

To find how many people came in blue cars, we do 2/3*48 which is equal to 32 people.

To find how many people came in red cars, we do 1/8*48 which is equal to 6 people.
