4 0

we are given

x^2-4x-5

we can use formula

x^2-(a+b)x+ab=(x-a)(x-b)

so, we have

a+b=4

ab=-5

now, we can solve for a and b

and we get

a=5, b=-1

now, we can plug it in formula

x^2-4x-5=(x-5)(x+1) ............Answer

Arisa [49]
From 9 P.M. to 5 A.M. the temperature dropped 20°, making the rate over 8 hours, -2.5° Per Hour. By 5 A.M., the temperature is -5° since we had to do 15 - 20. From 5 AM to 5 P.M. is 12 hours so -2.5 x 12 = -30 making 30 how much the temperature dropped between 5 A.M. to 5 P.M. Finally, our last equation is -5 - 30 making -35 our answer.
