Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following function:

Evaluate the function f(6).
This is
when
. So

f(6) = 12 is the answer.
Answer:
42.8 + or - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
He's either gaining or losing $12 so you can write 42.8 plus or minus 12 as the equation
(4 + 4 - 0.4) / 0.4 = (8 - 0.4) / 0.4 = 7.6 / 0.4 = 19
Answer:
643737.6
Step-by-step explanation:
1 inch is 2.54 centimeters. 2.54 centimeters is 1 inch. 12x2.54 =30.48. 30.48 is equal to one foot because 12 inches are in 1 foot and one inch is 2.54 centimeters. 1 yard is 3 feet so 30.48x3=91.44. 1 yard is equal to 91.44 centimeters. 1 miles is 1760 yards so 91.44x1760= 160934.4. 1 mile is equal to 160934.4 centimeters. Since 1 mile is equal to 160934.4 centimeters, you have to multiply 160934.4 by 4 to get 4 miles. 160934.4x4=643737.6 and this is your final answer. Therefore, 4 miles is equal to 643737.6 centimeters.
