Factor the polynomial x2 + 18x + 81 as the product of two binomials
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the polynomial x^2 + 18x + 81 and are being asked to factor this into two binomials.
A rule that I follow is what two numbers multiplied make c (in this case 81) and when added make b (in this case is 18).
So what two numbers when :
A. Multiplied make 81
B. Added make 18
This would be 9.
Now that we have the answer, we can put it into binomials.
(x + 9)(x + 9)
Since these are the same, we can combine it and make it into one.

Step-by-step explanation:
The attached diagram shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder with the wall of the house.
Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. It has a 90 degree angle. The length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse(AC)of the triangle. This length can be determined by applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2
AC^2 = 22^2 + 5^2
AC^2 = 484 + 25 = 509
AC = √509
AC = 22.56
The slope of the ladder is
(change in y)/(change in x)
Slope = 22/5 = 4.4
