What is the correct factorization of x^2 - 2x - 15?

Mathematics
1 answer:
iragen [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

option b

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  - 2x - 15

{x}^{2}  - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

x = -3 (Not possible)

x = 5

So, x = 5

Solve the equation using the order of operations.<br><br> 5+{2×[(5−1)+6]}÷4
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The order of operations is PEMDAS

First step is to do everything is parenthesis or brackets

5+{2*[(5-1)+6]}/4

{2*[(5-1)+6]}

First you would go 5-1=4, because that is the first equation that is in parenthesis by itself.

{2*[4+6]}

Next you would go 4+6=10, because that is your next smallest bracket

{2*10}

Last you would go 2*10=20

Your equation now looks like this

5+{20}/4

In PEMDAS your next step is exponents, but we don't have any so we go on to the next one which is multiply/division

5+5

You would go 20/4=5

Last step is to add/subtract

5+5=10

Your final answer would be 10

Hope this helps ;)

Q13 A gardener needs to buy compost to fill this tub.
REY [17]

Answer:

  5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the tub is the product of its dimensions:

  V = (1.8 m)(0.5 m)(0.25 m) = 0.225 m³

There are 1000 L in 1 m³, so this volume in liters is ...

  (0.225 m³)(1000 L/m³) = 225 L

At 50 L per bag, the gardener needs ...

  (225 L)/(50 L/bag) = 4.5 bags

The gardener probably cannot purchase a partial bag, so must buy more than is needed.

The gardener must buy 5 bags of compost to fill the tub.

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?​
butalik [34]

Answer:

-5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x - 2y = -2

x - 2y = 9

First, you're going to subtract the equations from each other.

(-4x - 2y = -2) - (x - 2y = 9)

Next, you need to get rid of the equal sign in both equations.

(-4x - 2y = -2) - (x - 2y = 9)

     +2       +2        -9      -9  

After you get rid of the equal signs, you will distribute the sign to the equation and then subtract everything.

-4x - 2y + 2 - x + 2y + 9

Now, combine the like terms.

(-4x -x) + (-2y + 2y) + (2 + 9)

Finally, calculate the terms and solve.

-5x + 7
