Answer:

\displaystyle \large{(x + 9)(x - 8)}

The value of a is 9 and b is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle  \large{(x + a)(x  + b) =  {x}^{2}  + (a + b)x + ab}

We need to find two numbers that add up or subtract off to 1.

Then we also use the same two numbers that multiply and get -72.

Let's see:-

  • 9 and -8 seem like correct values.

Because 9+(-8) is 9-8 = 1

And 9(-8) is -72.

Therefore:

\displaystyle \large{ {x}^{2}  + x - 72 = (x + 9)(x - 8)}

The value of a is 9 and the value of b is -8 according to form of (x+a)(x+b)

Answer:

(x + 9)(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x - 72

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 72) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 1)

The factors are + 9 and - 8 , since

9 × - 8 = - 72 and 9 - 8 = 1 , then

x² + x - 72 = (x + 9)(x - 8)

with a = 9 and b = - 8

To convert -34º C to Fahrenheit, plug the temperature in Celsius in the formula and solve.
F = 9/5C + 32
F = 9/5(-34) + 32
To solve this you must first multiply.
9/5 • -34 = -61.2
F = -61.2 + 32
Now add.
-61.2 + 32 = -29.2
The answer is -34º C equals -29.2º F.

Hope this helps!
