Answer: (x-6)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum : x2 − 5 x- 6

x2 + x-=6 x − 6

factor pair: x 2 + x − 6 x − 6

x( x+ 1 ) − 6 ( x + 1 )

rewrite from: x (x + 1 ) − 6 ( x + 1 )

(x-6)(x+1)

Answer:

A: (x-6)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find 2 numbers that add to make -5 and multiply to make -6.

We already have the numbers infront of us, so by process of elimination we can remove B and D.

For the numbers, we need a positive number and a negative number (two negatives make a positive). We can eliminate C because at first -3 multiplied by 2 is -6. However, when -3 is added to 2 we get -1.

If we expand A, it makes the expression that needs to be factorised because...

-6 × 1 = -6

-6 + 1 = -5

So expanding it properly we get.

x² - 6x + x - 6

Simplify.

x² - 5x -6

Find the value of tan(sin^-1(1/2))

suter [353]

If you know that $\sin\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac12$ , then you know right away

$\tan\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac12\right)=\tan\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac1{\sqrt}3=\dfrac{\sqrt3}3$

###

Otherwise, you can derive the same result. Let $\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac12$ , so that $\sin\theta=\dfrac12$ . $\sin^{-1}$ is bounded, so we know $-\dfrac\pi2\le\theta\le\dfrac\pi2$ . For these values of $\theta$ , we always have $\cos\theta\ge0$ .
