Let me just give you a clue. The only thing you have to consider in this problem is the operation of the factors of the given equation.
OK thank you but I'm still confused
OK thank you but I'm still confused
One important fact in #11 is that c > 0. In other words, c is a positive number. This fact restricts your choice of p and q. Can you see why?
I undrstand where you are coing from, but if you look at the answer choics, they all contain a negative number
I'd modify that statement as follows: "they all contain at least one negative number. Look at the first answer (the first pair. What are p and q? What is the product pq equal to?
@Samslays?
@mathmale the answer to that woud be ??????
Again, look at the first answer choice. What is the given value of p? of q?
The given value is -3 and -40
Actually, p is 5 and q is -8. Please double check to ensure y ou're looking at the same p and q values as I am. Are you?
Pyes I see that
(While you're typing:) Please note that p*q must equal c.
Pyes I see that
OK. Taking that p and that q, mult. them together. Your product?
(5)(-8)=?
i answeed that earlier
I saw your -3 and -40, but had no idea where the -3 came from. I was asking you only to multiply p and q together. The correct result is -40. Is this a positive number? In other words, is -40 a positive number?
No The -3 comes from the addition part of the equation
Since p*q in this case is not positive, this first possible answer choice must be eliminated. What are p and q in the 2nd answer choice?
-12 the answe is c
For number 12 the answer is a
All right. Seems as tho' you're catching on quickly.
