X=27
(x - 5)(x^2 + 1)
minus 1
x - 3
x - 5
In addition and subtraction, if the plus sign is larger than the minus sign, then it's a plus. For example: +10 minus -20 = -10 If the plus sign is smaller than the minus sign, the answer will be a minus. For example: -10 minus + 20 = -10 In multiplication, if you have 2 plus signs, the answer will be a plus sign. If you have 2 minus signs, the answer will be a plus sign then, too. But if you have a plus and a minus sign, then the answer will be a minus. For example: +5 x + 2 = +10 -5 x - 2 = +10 -5 x +2 = -10
Find out what two numbers add up to -8 yet when mutiplied they produce 12 and so: x squared-8x+12 = (x-2)(x-6) when factored
No
That factors to (x - 5)(x - 1)
solving for the x variable given that x2-6x+5=0 factoring the polynomial gives (x-1)(x-5)=0 which leaves you with your two answers, x=1, 5 or you could have used the quadratic equation x = [ -(-6) plus/minus sqrt( (-6)2 - 4*1*5 ) ] / (2*1) x = [ 6 plus/minus sqrt( 36-20 ) ] / 2 x = [ 6 plus/minus 4 ] / 2 x = 3 plus/minus 2 x = 5, 1
yes. An opposite number is the negative of a positive number, for example -5 and +5 are opposite numbers. Since minus x plus is minus and plus x minus is minus and plus x plus is plus and minus x minus is plus then the product of opposites is the same.
It is impossible but if it were x squared plus 2x minus 15 the equation would be (x+5) (x-3) with x being equal to either -5 or 3. If the original problem was x squared minus 2x minus 15 the equation would be (x-5)(x+3) and x would be equal to either 5 or -3
