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

Mathematics

Mrac [35]2 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!

Integers are like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4 etc

√49=7, integer

-3⁰=-(3⁰)=-(1)=-1, integer

1.2 times 10⁻²=1.2/100=0.012, not an integer

18/3=6, integer



answer is 3rd one

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

New equation: y = -3(2y + 3) - 4

Distribute and simplify: y = -6y - 13

Add 6y: 7y = -13
