Step-by-step explanation:
option e.5,13
.............
2x^2 - 8x - 24
First, we can factor a 2 out of this expression to simplify it.
2(x^2 - 4x - 12)
Now, we can try factoring this two ways: by using the quadratic formula, or by using the AC method.
We're gonna try using the AC method first.
List factors of -12.
1 * -12
-1 * 12
2 * -6
-2 * 6 (these digits satisfy the criteria.)
Split the middle term.
2(x^2 - 2x + 6x - 12)
Factor by grouping.
2(x(x - 2) + 6(x - 2)
Rearrange terms.
<h3><u>(2)(x + 6)(x - 2) is the fully factored form of the given polynomial.</u></h3>
The probability is 56/100 or 56%. Because they only got 44% of their previous throws, the probability that they'll miss the next one is 56%.
5x^2-x(x+4)
5x^2-x^2-4x
4x^2-4x is your answer
If you think about it, you have your answer in your question.
Convert 2/4 to 1/2 which in decimal form, is .5.
You’re final answer is -2.3,-2 2/4,-2.6.
I hope this helps!
