X^(2)+17x+72
im confused on how to factor this?

  (x +9)(x +8)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a quadratic with leading coefficient 1, the coefficient of the linear term (17) is the sum of factors of the constant term (72). If you know your times tables, you know that 8×9 = 72, and you also know that 8+9 = 17.

With these facts, you can write the factorization as ...

  (x +8)(x +9)

If you need to see the working out, rather than jumping to the end, you can use the sum information to rewrite the linear term:

  x^2 +(8x +9x) +72

Now factor pairs of terms:

  (x^2 +8x) + (9x +72) = x(x +8) +9(x +8) = (x +9)(x +8)

It also helps to be familiar with the product of binomials:

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes. 

step-by-step explanation:

there are 25 people coming to the party

step-by-step explanation:

the text says that there will be 22 children at this party, 1 teacher, and 2 parents. so if you add them all together (22+1+2) it will equal 25. (=25)
