Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 2) + (-2 + x) = 20
2x + 0 = 20
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10
Problem 13
10p+10q factors to 10(p+q). If we apply the distributive property, we can distribute the 10 to each term inside (p and q) to get
10(p+q) = (10 times p)+(10 times q) = 10*p + 10*q = 10p+10q
so we get the original expression again. Here 10 is the GCF of the two terms.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Plug p = 1 and q = 2 into the factored form
10*(p+q) = 10*(1+2) = 10*(3) = 30
As a check, let's plug those p,q values into the original expression
10*p+10*q = 10*1+10*2 = 10+20 = 30
We get the same output of 30
Answer:
Hope this will help you
Step-by-step explanation:
It's pretty much simple. Since we can factor a polynomial by its zeros, lets write one of degree nine :
X(X-1)(X-2)(X-3)(X-4)(X-5)(X+1)(X+2)(X+3)= X^9-9X^8+6X^7+126X^6-231X^5-441X^4+944X^3+324X^2-720X
This polynomial is of degree 9 and has exactly 5 strictly positive zeros : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
And it has 3 negative zeros : - 1, -1, - 3
And it has 0 as a zero too.
There is also this one :
(X-1)(X-2)(X-3)(X-4)(X²+1)(X+1)(X+2)(X+3) = X^9-4X^8-13X^7+52X^6+35X^5-140X^4+13X^3-52X^2-36X+144
It has 4 positive zeros : 1, 2, 3, 4.
It has complex zeros : i and - i
3 negative zeros : - 1, - 2 , - 3
Good Luck
