Factorising quadratics

X squared + 5x -6
X squared - 2x15
X squared -7x +12

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, you're looking for divisors of the constant that have a sum equal to the x-coefficient. Those divisors are the constants in the binomial factors.

1) -6 = -1·6 = -2·3 . . . . . (-1)+(6) = 5, so these are the constants of interest.

  x^2 +5x -6 = (x -1)(x +6)

__

2) -15 = -1·15 = -3·5 = -5·3 . . . . . (-5)+(3) = -2, so these are the constants of interest

  x^2 -2x -15 = (x -5)(x +3)

__

3) 12 = -1·-12 = -2·-6 = -3·-4 . . . . . (-3) +(-4) = -7, so these are the constants of interest

  x^2 -7x +12 = (x -3)(x -4)

a) 0,0; 1,1; and 2,2

step-by-step explanation:

these have the exact same coordinates, thus they are the correct function.

step-by-step explanation:

a cube has 6 sides

the probability of getting 5 on the first cube is 1/6 since only one side of the cube has 5 on it.

there are 3 sides of the cube with even number on it [2,4,6]

therefore the probability of getting even number is 3/6

for both events to happen together, the probability would be

1/6 x 3/6 = 12/36

which simplifies to 1/12
