Two numbers multiply together to make 8, but add together to make - 6 What are the two numbers?

8 0

Answer:

-4 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find all the factors of 8, that would be 1 and 8, -1 and -8, 2 and 4, and -2 and -4.

Then, adding the groups of numbers you have should show you what would equal -6. So 1 + 8 = 9, -1 + (-8) = -9, same vice versa, 2 + 4 = 6, -2 + (-4) = -6. So -2 and -4 would be your two numbers.

√180 can be expressed in the form p√q. where p and q are integers. Find the smallest value of p + q.

frutty [35]

Answer:

The smallest value of p+q is 11

It happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let's factor 180 in such a way that exactly one factor is a perfect square.

I'll ignore the trivial factor of 1.

Here are the possible factorizations we could go with:

180 = 4*45

180 = 9*20

180 = 36*5

Those factorizations then lead to the following

$\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{4*45} = \sqrt{4}*\sqrt{45}= 2\sqrt{45}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{9*20} = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{20}= 3\sqrt{20}\\\\\sqrt{180} = \sqrt{36*5} = \sqrt{36}*\sqrt{5}= 6\sqrt{5}\\\\$

Then we have

p+q = 2+45 = 47

p+q = 3+20 = 23

p+q = 6+5 = 11

The smallest value of p+q is 11 and it happens when p = 6 and q = 5.

Side note: p+q is smallest when we go with the largest perfect square factor.

writing and reasoning. write the number 34 and the number 43 as tens plus ones. how are they different?

defon

34 is 3 tens and 4 ones whereas 43 is 4 tens and 3 ones they are different because they have different values.

(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)

victus00 [196]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Here we have the following expression:

$(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)$

So we need to extend this. Remember that the difference of squares tells us:

$(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$

So here:

$a=cscx \\ \\ b=1$

Thus:

$(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)=csc^2x-1 \\ \\ \\ But: \\ \\ cscx=\frac{1}{sinx} \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ csc^2x-1=\frac{1}{sin^2x}-1=\frac{1-sin^2x}{sin^2x}=\frac{cos^2x}{sin^2x}=cot^2x \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{(csc x - 1) (csc x + 1)=cot^2x}$
