Factor x^2-5x-24 i need help to figure this out

Mathematics

Mrac [35]3 years ago

Answer:

(x-8)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?

2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?

In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.

Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that

8+ −3=5

which is one of the factors of -24.

This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:

(x−3)(x+8)

Hope this helped!

Answer:

1- The solution of I2x + 5I = 9 is {-7 , 2}

2- The solution of I2x + 7I + 2 = 11 is {-8 , 1}

3- The solution of I5 - xI = 6 is {-1 , 11}

4- The solution of I6x - 8I + 7 = 5 is ∅

5- The solution of Ix + 3I = 12 is {-15 , 9}

6- The solution of Ix - 3I = -12 is ∅

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets explain the meaning of IxI = a

- If IxI = a ⇒ then x = a or x = -a

- IxI never give a negative answer, because IxI means the

 magnitude of x is always positive

Ex: I-2I is 2

* Now lets find the solution of each equation

1- ∵ I2x + 5I = 9

∴ 2x + 5 = 9 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ 2x = 4 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 2

OR

∴ 2x + 5 = -9 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ 2x = -14 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = -7

* The solution of I2x + 5I = 9 is {-7 , 2}

2- ∵ I2x + 7I + 2 = 11 ⇒ Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ I2x + 7I = 9

∴ 2x + 7 = 9 ⇒ subtract 7 from both sides

∴ 2x = 2 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 1

OR

∴ 2x + 7 = -9 ⇒ subtract 7 from both sides

∴ 2x = -16 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = -8

* The solution of I2x + 7I + 2 = 11 is {-8 , 1}

3- ∵ I5 - xI = 6

∴ 5 -x = 6 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ -x = 1 ⇒ divide both sides by -1

∴ x = -1

OR

∴ 5 -x = -6 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ -x = -11 ⇒ divide both sides by -1

∴ x = 11

* The solution of I5 - xI = 6 is {-1 , 11}

4- ∵ I6x - 8I + 7 = 5 ⇒ Subtract 7 from both sides

∴ I6x - 8I = -2

- I  I never give negative answer

* The solution of I6x - 8I + 7 = 5 is ∅

5- ∵ Ix + 3I = 12

∴ x + 3 = 12 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x = 9

OR

∴ x + 3 = -12 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x = -15

* The solution of Ix + 3I = 12 is {-15 , 9}

6- ∵ Ix - 3I = -12

- I  I never give negative answer

* The solution of Ix - 3I = -12 is ∅
