Helppp
first one is b right?
@Vocaloid
-36 is the constant term to get a negative product, one factor must be positive and the other factor must be negative ex (-9)*(4) = -36 so C not B
okay so for part II
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
good but i would imagine they want them in pairs, so 1*36 2*18 3*12... etc until you get to 6*6
1*36 2*18 3*12 4*9 6*6 that should be it I think , unless you want to list out the reverse combinations to get 9*4 12*3, etc.
no i think this is okay
now part III
alright, for part III we need to find two factors that add up to -5 you must add a negative sign in front of one of the factors to accomplish this
so any two numbers that equal -5
they must add up to -5, yes
-8+3
8*3 does not multiply to get 36 so it is not an eligible factor pair
1*36 2*18 3*12 4*9 6*6 ^ these are your possible choices
-4+9
wait hold on
-9+4
good, so that's your factor pair for part III, -9 * 4
okay part IV
we fill in the blanks of (x + __)(x+ __) to get your factored form putting -9 and 4 in gives us (x-9)(x+4) = your answer
anyway for part V they want you to solve using the zero product property meaning that you must set each factor equal to 0 to solve so x - 9 = 0 x + 4 = 0 solve for both values of x.
x=9 x=-4
good so that's part V, x = 9 and x = -4
