Assuming that the x2 is x squared, B

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)(1) + 5(1) - 6 = 1 + 5 - 6 = 6 - 6 = 0

(-6)(-6) + 5(-6) - 6 = 36 - 30 - 6 = 6 - 6 = 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve using factoring.

x²+5x-6=0

5 is the sum of the numbers, while -6 is their product.

Think: which two numbers add up to 5, but when multiplied, equal -6?

Those numbers are -1 and 6.

Now factor the polynomial:

(x-1)(x+6)=0

split into parts:

(x-1)=0

x-1=0

x=1

(x+6)=0

x+6=0

x=-6

So B

Hope this helps!

b) False

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement : ∀a ∈ Z, (a − 1) a is not an integer

A) The correct negation will be :

There is an integer a such that $\frac{a-1}{a}$ is an integer

B) The Given statement is FALSE because

when we assume the value of a = 1

( a - 1 ) / a = (1 - 1 ) / 1 = 0 ; which is an integer

What does -3 1/2+ (-8 1/4)!equal?

MissTica

Answer:

$-11\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 $\frac{1}{2}$ + -8 $\frac{1}{4}$ equals;

-3 $\frac{1}{2}$ - 8 $\frac{1}{4}$

Putting it in improper function way:

$-\frac{7}{2}$ - $\frac{33}{4}$ = $\frac{-14 - 33}{4}$ = $-\frac{47}{4}$

$-\frac{47}{4}$ in simplified form equals $-11\frac{3}{4}$
