How to solve X²-X-42uing
using Fertoning Polynomials

x = - 6, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by equating to zero

x² - x - 42 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)

The factors are - 7 and + 6 , since

- 7 × + 6 = - 42 and - 7 + 6 = - 1 , then

(x - 7)(x + 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
