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

Avaluate 2^3x-1 for x=1

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

4 or 7 (Check the explanation to see which one your equation actually is.

Step-by-step explanation:

One thing I want to clarify for you, It's Evaluate, not Avaluate.

Okay so, we want to find the value of 2^3x-1 and we know x = 1.

You didn't really clarify if the expression was $2^{3x-1}$ or $2^{3x}-1$ , so I'll be doing both:

For $2^{3x-1}$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)-1}$ and then simplify to get $2^{2}$ .

2 to the power of 2 or $2^{2}$ is equal to 2 * 2 or 4.

The second one, $2^{3x}-1$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)}-1$ and then to become $2^{3}-1$ . 2 to the power of 3 or $2^{3}$ is 8 and then minus 1 is 7.
