Answer:

$x^2+x-12=(x-3)(x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor $x^2+x-12$

Find factors of -12 that have a sum of 1.

Factors of -12: 1 and -12, 2 and -6, 3 and -4, 3 and -3, 6 and -2, 12 and -1

Factors of -12 that have a sum of 1: -3 and 4

Therefore, $x^2+x-12=x^2+4x-3x-12$

Factor: $x(x+4) -3(x+4)$

Factor out common term $(x+4)$ : $(x-3)(x+4)$

1x10 to the fifth power over 4x10 to the negative faith power given on scientific notation

MissTica

Answer:

$2.5*10^{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

1x10 to the fifth power over 4x10 to the negative fourth power given on scientific notation

we know that

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.

we have

$\frac{1*10^{5}}{4*10^{-4}}=(\frac{1}{4})*10^{5+4} =0.25*10^{9}= 2.5*10^{8}$

Hi I need this asap if you also explain the work on how you got answers plz and thank you

Answer:

Q/ Draw a line ; Ans; 

$\frac{9}{5} —>1 \frac{4}{5}$

*explain ; We put the 5 in the denominator and 5 multiply 1 + 4 so equal 9 so the choice 9/5 .

Ans; 7/3—> 2 1/3

*explain ; We put the 3 in the denominator and 3 multiply 2 + 1 so equal 7 so the choice 7/3 .

Ans; 12/10 —> 1 1/5

*explain; simple (12 and 10) ÷ 2 so equal 6/5

We put the 5 in the denominator and 5 multiply 1 + 1 so equal 6 so the choice 6/5 =12/10 .

$\frac{12 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{6}{5} = 1 \frac{1}{5}$

Q/ Compare the fractions;Ans;

$\frac{2}{3} < \frac{14}{6}$

* explain; 2/3 = 0.66 and 14/6=2.33 so 2.33 greater from 0.66 so 14/6 greater from 2/3 .

$\frac{3}{8} < \frac{8}{3}$

* explain; 3/8 = 0.375 and 8/3=2.666 so 2.666 greater from 0.375 so 8/3 greater from 3/8 .

$2 \frac{1}{6} > \frac{5}{9}$

* explain; 2 1/6 —> We put the 6 in the denominator and 6 multiply 2 + 1 so equal 13 so equal 13/6

13/6 = 2.16 and 5/9=0.55 so 2.16 greater from 0.55 so 13/6 = 2 1/6 greater from 5/9 .

Q/Add; Ans;

$\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{7 + 5}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ \frac{1}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{ 1+6 }{9} = \frac{7}{9}$

Q/Subtract; Ans;

$\frac{6}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{6 - 4}{7} = \frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{7}{3} - \frac{2}{9} \\ \\ \frac{21}{9} - \frac{2}{9} = \frac{21 - 2}{9} = \frac{19}{9}$

Q/ Multiply;Ans;

$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4}$

Q/Divide;Ans;

$\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{15}{8}$

$\frac{8}{9} \div \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{24}{9} = \frac{8}{3}$

I hope I helped you^_^
