Answer:

C. (x -11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trinomial is x^2 - 7x - 44

Let's factor it. To find factor, we need to find the factors of -44 such that when you add them, we have to get -7

-44 = -11*4

- 7 = -11 + 4

so the correct factors are -11 and 4

Now we can write the middle term - 7x = -11x + 4x

x^2 - 7x - 44 = x^2 - 11x + 4x - 44

Now let's group the first two terms and second two terms and factor it.

= x(x - 11) + 4(x - 11)

Here (x-11) is common factor, so we can take outside and rewrite.

= (x - 11)(x + 4)

So the factors are (x - 11) and (x + 4)

Answer is C. (x -11)

X-11
because 
(x-11)(x+4)
when you multiply that you get x^2 - 7x -44

A 96 inch stick breaks into two pieces in the ratio of 3:5. How big is each piece?
Svetlanka [38]
40 cm.

let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.

where x is a positive length in cm.

why 3x,4x and 5x ?

so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.

total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm

so x=96/12 = 8cm

therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm

an experiment consists of flipping a fair coin 4 times. What is the probability of obtaining at least one head?
Dvinal [7]
\mathbb P(X\ge1)=1-\mathbb P(X=0)

The probability of getting 0 heads in 4 tosses (or equivalently, 4 tails) is \dfrac1{2^4}=\dfrac1{16}.

So the desired probability is

1-\dfrac1{16}=\dfrac{15}{16}
