Powered by AITo factorize x^2 - 5x + 6, identify two numbers whose product is the constant term (+6) and sum is the middle term coefficient (-5). Here, the numbers are -2 and -3. Rewrite the middle term: x^2 - 2x - 3x + 6, then factor by grouping: x(x-2) - 3(x-2), giving (x-2)(x-3). Thus, the factors of x^2 - 5x + 6 are (x - 2) and (x - 3).
For a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the roots are related to the coefficients by Vieta's formulas: sum of roots = -b/a and product of roots = c/a. In x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0, a = 1, b = 2, c = -3. The roots, by solving (x + 3)(x - 1) = 0, are x = -3 and x = 1, satisfying the sums (-3) + 1 = -2 and product (-3)(1) = -3. Thus, Vieta's formulas hold .
The expression a^2 - b^2 is equivalent to (a+b)(a-b) by the difference of squares formula. Given a = 3 and b = -2, first calculate a^2 = 3^2 = 9 and b^2 = (-2)^2 = 4. Thus, a^2 - b^2 = 9 - 4 = 5. Hence, the value is 5 .
The distance between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the distance formula: √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2). For (5, 1) and (1, 4), calculate it as √((1-5)^2 + (4-1)^2) = √((-4)^2 + 3^2) = √(16 + 9) = √25 = 5. Thus, the distance is 5 units .
Let x = 0.232323... Then, 100x = 23.232323... Subtracting these equations, we get: 100x - x = 23.2323... - 0.2323..., which simplifies to 99x = 23. Solving gives x = 23/99. Thus, 0.232323... as a fraction is 23/99 .
Lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals. The slope of 3x - 4y = 7, rewritten to y = 3/4x - 7/4, is 3/4. The line perpendicular must have slope -4/3. Using slope-intercept form y = mx + c with point (1, -2), -2 = (-4/3)(1) + c, solve for c to find c = -2 + 4/3 = -2/3. Thus, the perpendicular line is y = -4/3x - 2/3 .
Prime factorize the numbers: 24 = 2^3 * 3, 36 = 2^2 * 3^2, 60 = 2^2 * 3 * 5. The LCM takes the highest powers of all prime factors present: 2^3 from 24, 3^2 from 36, and 5 from 60. Multiply these: LCM = 2^3 * 3^2 * 5 = 360. Therefore, the LCM of 24, 36, and 60 is 360 .
The formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers is derived from the observation that pairing terms from the start and end of the sequence always gives the same sum. For example, the first and last terms sum to (n+1), the second and second-to-last sum to the same, and so forth. The formula is S = n(n + 1)/2. For the first 50 natural numbers, substituting n = 50 gives S = 50(50 + 1)/2 = 1275. Therefore, the sum is 1275 .
The equation y = 2x + 3 is in slope-intercept form y = mx + c, where m represents the slope and c the y-intercept. The slope is 2, indicating a rise of 2 units vertically for a 1 unit horizontal run. The y-intercept is 3, where the line crosses the y-axis. Together, these define a line increasing from left to right .
A point on the x-axis has coordinate form (x, 0) because its vertical distance (y-coordinate) from the origin is zero. It only shifts horizontally based on the x-coordinate value, without any vertical displacement, confirming its position solely on the x-axis .
