F(x) = x² - 10x - 24 ,        24= (-12)*2  and -12+2 =-10

f(x) = (x-12)(x+2)
Answer A. f(x) = (x-12)(x+2)

Hey!


The first step to solving this equation would be to factor f ( x ). Now since f ( x ) cannot be factored any further, this will be its final form.

The next step would be to factor the right side of the equation. To do this we'll first break the expression into groups.

<em>Original Equation :</em>
f ( x  ) =  x^{2} -10x - 24

<em>New Equation {Equation Grouped} :</em>
=  (  x^{2} +2x)+(-12x -24)

Now we must factor out x from x^{2} +2x into x(x+2). We'll also have to factor out -12 from -12x-24 into -12(x+2).

<em>Old Equation :</em>
= ( x^{2} +2x)+(-12x -24)

<em>New Equation :</em>
=x(x+2)-12(x+2)

Finally, we must factor out the common term that is (x+2).

<em>Old Equation :</em>
=x(x+2)-12(x+2)

<em>New Equation :</em>
=(x+2)(x-12)

<em>So, this means that the answer is </em> f(x)= (x+2)(x-12).

Hope this helps!

Given a geometric sequence in the table below, create the explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.
Makovka662 [10]

Given:

The geometric sequence is:

n              a_n

1                        -4

2                      20

3                     -100

To find:

The explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.

Solution:

The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:

a_n=ar^{n-1}            ...(i)

Where, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and n\geq 1.

In the given sequence the first term is -4 and the second term is 20, so the common ratio is:

r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}

r=\dfrac{20}{-4}

r=-5

Putting a=-4,r=-5 in (i), we get

a_n=-4(-5)^{n-1} where n\geq 1

Therefore, the correct option is B.

<h3>Answer: Triangular prism</h3>

If you folded the figure up, you would have a prism where the parallel bases are right triangles. Each lateral face is a rectangle.

It might help to imagine a room where the floor and ceiling are triangles (they are identical or congruent triangles). Each wall of this room is one of the rectangles shown.

Find all roots: x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0<br> Show all work and check your answer.
enot [183]

Answer:

x=0,x=-4,x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

x^3 + 7x^2 + 12x = 0

Factoring by x:

(x^2 + 7x + 12)x = 0

One of the root is x=0. Let's solve the parentheses.

Expanding the trinomial

x^2 + 4x+3x + 12=0

Factoring

x(x + 4)+3(x + 4)=0

Factoring

(x + 4)(x+3)=0

This will give us the two remaining roots

x=-4,x=-3
