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!

Answer:

$50.24\ cm ^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding the radius of this circle.

$D=2r\\8=2r\\\text{Divide both sides by 2}\\r=4$

Note that in the equation:

$A=\pi r^2$

"A" stands for area and "r" stands for radius.

Now, let's substitute the given values into the equation.

$A=\pi r^2\\A=3.14*(4)^2\\A=3.14*16\\A=50.24\ cm^2$
