Firstly, for it to be a trinomial the expression would have to be x^2+5x+6 to factor this we would simply have to find 2 numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to 6. 3+2=5 and 3•2=6 so (x+3)(x+2) would be the answer
If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.
Thus,
-6 - (-8) 2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
-7 - (-3) -4
Then the following must be true:
4-(-6) 10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
c - (-7) c + 7
Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27
Answer:
<u>The smaller angle measures 44° and the larger measures 136°</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let'e recall that supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180° degrees.
Smaller angle = x
Larger angle = 3x + 4
Therefore, we have:
x + 3x + 4 = 180
4x = 180 - 4
4x = 176
x = 176/4
x = 44 ⇒ 3x + 4 = 136
<u>The smaller angle measures 44° and the larger measures 136°</u>
