Mathematics
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a² - 36 = 5a ( subtract 5a from both sides )

a² - 5a - 36 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 36) which sum to give the coefficient of the a- term (- 5)

The factors are - 9 and + 4 , since

- 9 × + 4 = - 36 and - 9 + 4 = - 5 , then

(a - 9)(a + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for a

a - 9 = 0 ⇒ a = 9

a + 4 = 0 ⇒ a = - 4

solution is { - 9, 4 } → D

Write the set of points from −6−6 to 33 but excluding −2−2 and 33 as a union of intervals:
Softa [21]

In this question, we have to write the set of points from -6 to 3 but excluding -2 and 3 as a union of intervals .

For union, we use U.

For the points that we have to exclude , we put parenthesis on there side  that is  ().

Therefore the required interval form is

[-6,-2)U(-2,3)

As we see that () are used with -2 and 3 . And that's the required interval form .
