Answer:

(r-7)(r+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's look at the -14. Possible factors for that number are (-2, 7) (2, -7) (1, -14) and (-1, 14).

Now, let's look at the -5. How can we make -5 with the pairs that we just found?

The only possible way is 2 and -7 (added together equals -5)

Answer:

r^2-5r-14

r^2-(7-2)r-14

r^2 -7r+2r-14

taking common from each 2 terms

r(r-7)+2(r-7)

(r-7)(r+2)

Describe the nature of the roots for this equation

vitfil [10]

First, fint the roots of the equation $2x^2+5x-7=0.$

$D=5^2-4\cdot 2\cdot (-7)=25+56=81,\\\sqrt{D}=\sqrt{81}=9,\\ \\x_1=\dfrac{-5-9}{2\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{14}{4}=-3.5,\\ \\x_2=\dfrac{-5+9}{2\cdot 2}=\dfrac{4}{4}=1.$

2. You can see that this equation has two different real roots. Note that you can make this statement without finding roots, only knowing the value of discriminant: since D=81>0, then the equation has two different real roots.

The rectangle is three times its width.

Airida [17]

Answer:

Length= 30 in

Width= 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x in.

Length of rectangle

= 3 (width)

= 3x

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(length) +2(width)

80= 2(3x) +2(x)

80= 6x +2x

8x= 80 (simplify)

x= 80 ÷8 (÷8 on both sides)

x= 10

Thus width of rectangle= 10 in

Length of rectangle

= 3(10)

= 30 in
