We need two numbers that when multiplied will give you -40 and when added will give you -3:
(x+5) (x-8) this is your answer. And you want to know the process Here it goes. And attached is a chart I made you so you can visually see what this process is telling you:
1) identify a,b, and c in the trinomial ax^2 + bx+c (in your case it's 1x^2-3x-40= x^2-3x-40)
2) write down all factor pairs of c (numbers that multiplied produce -40)
3) identify which factor pair from the previous step sums up to b
4) Substitute factor pairs into two binomials

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B. ( –3, –4)

C. ( 4, 17 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Function: y = 3x + 5

Using method of elimination

A. (2, –1)

x = 2, y = -1

-1 = 3 (2) + 5

-1 ≠ 11

This option is incorrect!

B. ( –3, –4)

x = -3, y = -4

-4 = 3 (-3) + 5

-4 = - 9 + 5

-4 = -4

This option is correct!

C. ( 4, 17 )

x = 4, y = 17

17 = 3 (4) + 5

17 = 12 + 5

17 = 17

This option is correct!

D. ( 3, 8 )

x = 3, y = 8

8 = 3 (3) + 5

8 = 9 + 5

8 = 14

This option is incorrect!
