The partial factorization of x2 – 3x – 10 is modeled with algebra tiles. Which unit tiles are needed to complete the factorizati
on? 2 negative unit tiles 2 positive unit tiles 5 negative unit tiles 5 positive unit tiles
2 answers:
X² - 3x - 10
x² = x * x
10 can be factored:
1 x 10 ⇒⇒⇒ difference between factors = 9
2 x 5 ⇒⇒⇒ difference between factors = 3 ⇒ (The correct pair)
(x-5)(x+2) = x(x+2) - 5(x+2)
= x² + 2x - 5x - 10
= x² - 3x - 10
∴ x - 5 = 0 ⇒⇒⇒ x = 5
x + 2 = 0 ⇒⇒⇒ x = -2

10 can be factored:
1 x 10 ⇒⇒⇒ difference between factors = 9
2 x 5 ⇒⇒⇒ difference between factors = 3 ⇒ (The correct pair)
(x-5)(x+2) = x(x+2) - 5(x+2)
= x² + 2x - 5x - 10
= x² - 3x - 10
∴ x - 5 = 0 ⇒⇒⇒ x = 5
x + 2 = 0 ⇒⇒⇒ x = -2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have a right triangle here. The way to solve for a missing side in a right triangle is to use Pythagorean's Theorem. You can't use right triangle trig because you don't have an angle. Pythagorean's Theorem is, in this case,
and
and
so
which simplifies down to
