-(x-8)(x+6)
Step-by-step explanation:
-x^2+2x+48
-(x^2-2x-48)
-(x-8)(x+6)
The trick is to find two numbers that when they multiply, you get the third term, which in this case, is -48. And when you add those two numbers, you get the second term, which is -2 in this case. The two numbers in this case are -8 and 6.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the figure is equal to the area of rectangle plus the area of two semicircles
<u>The area of rectangle is equal to</u>

<u>The area of the small semicircle is equal to</u>

-----> radius is half the diameter
substitute

<u>The area of the larger semicircle is equal to</u>

-----> radius is half the diameter
substitute

The area of the figure is equal to

The sequence is -3, -3, +3, +3
the next number is -3
If it is repeating then it is 5/9 but if it is just 0.5 then 1/2
