Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x² - 2x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The notation (f·g)(x) means to multiply the two functions. Use the distributive property to simplify.
(f·g)(x) = (x+2)(x-4) = x² + 2x - 4x - 8 = x² - 2x - 8
The answer is c because 2+7=9 and 10-2=8 and 9 is greater than 8 so 2+7>10-2
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 7x = 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
2x² + 7x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form
To factorise the left side
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 2 × - 15 = - 30 and sum = + 7
The factors are + 10 and - 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 10x - 3x - 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) ← factor out (x + 5) from each term
(x + 5)(2x - 3) ← in factored form
