Unfortunately, Tashara, you have not provided enuf info from which to calculate the values of a and b. If you were to set <span>F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b) = to 0, then:
x=0,
x=-a
x=-b
but this doesn't answer your question.
Double check that you have shared all aspects of this question.</span>
The perimeter of the right angled triangle should be 36cm, hope this helps:)
The answer to 9 would be (-3,-4) and (2,6) because if you plug in -3 for x in either of the equations and plug in 4 for y in the equations, both sides of the equation are the same number. also, if you plug in 2 for x and 6 for y both sides of the equation equal each other. The answer to 10 is (-1,1) and (7,33). if you plug them in they are equal:)
let the number be x.
a number decreased means
x-
and the sum of the number and 4 is
x+4
to put the expression together, we get. put them in parentheses
x - ( x+4 )
= x - x -4
= - 4
