Factor: m^2 - 20m - 21

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: (m-21)(m+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this trinomial, find two numbers that multiply to -21 and add to -20:

(-21)(1)=-21

-21+1=-20

They are -21 and 1.

Add -21 and 1 to m to get both factors:

(m+(-21)) and (m+1)

(m-21) and (m+1)

Multiply them to get the answer:

(m-21)(m+1)

Question 2:
The answer is 21
The two angles are vertically opposite, which makes them equal and also means we can make an equation:
4x - 4 = 3x + 17
- 3x
x - 4 = 14
+ 4
x = 21

Question 3:
The answer is 23
Again, the angles are vertically opposite, so we can make them equal each other:
5x - 53 = 3x - 7
- 3x
2x - 53 = -7
+ 53
2x = 46
÷ 2
x = 23

I hope this helps!

suppose A and B are complementary angles, m a =(3x+5) and m b= (2x-15). Solve for x and then find m a and m b
vlada-n [284]
2 angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°.

For example  if m(P) = 41°  and m(Q)=49°, then P and Q are complementary.


Thus A and B are complementary means that m(A)=m(B)=90°:

(3x+5°) + (2x-15°) =90°

5x-10°=90°

5x=100°

x=20°



Thus 

m(A)=3x+5°=3* 20°+5°=60°+5°=65°

m(B)=2x-15°=2*20°-15°=40°-15°=25°

A class at Middlebury school collected date on the types of movies students prefer. Complete each statement using the table.
likoan [24]

Based on the information of the table, you have:

1. The ratio is 105/150. By simplifying you get for the ratio 7/10.

2. The students that prefer action movies are 75+90 = 165 and the total numbe of students is 180+240 = 420. Then, the fraction of students who prefer action movies is:

165/420 = 11/28

3. The fraction of seventh graders students that prefer action movies is:

75/180 = 5/12

4. The percent of student that prefer comedy is:

105 + 150 = 255 total student that prefer comedy

420 total number of students

the fraction is:

(x/100)420 = 255

solve for x:

x = 255(100/420)

x = 60.71

the percent of students is 60.71%

5. The percent of eighth graders student who prefer action moveis is:

(x/100)240 = 90

x = 90(100/240)

x = 37.5

the percent of students is 37.5%

6. To determine which from the given grades has the greatest percent of student that prefer action movies, calculate the percent of student in seventh-grade:

(x/100)180 = 75

x = 75(100/180)

x = 41.66

the percent of student is 41.66%

then, seventh grade has the greatest percent of student that prefer action movies.
