Ms. Wilson draws a model of the factorization of a polynomial with integer factors. Her model is partially complete. A 2-column table with 2 rows. First column is labeled n with entries n squared, 5 n. Second column is not labeled with entries blank, 40. First row is not labeled with entries n squared, blank. Second row is labeled 5 with entries 5 n, 40. Which equation is represented by Ms. Wilson’s model? n2 + 3n + 40 = (n – 8)(n – 5) n2 + 13n + 40 = (n + 8)(n + 5) n2 + 40n + 13 = (n + 8)(n + 5) n2 + 40n + 3 = (n – 8)(n – 5)

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

graph them on a graphing calculator, press 2nd trace. select intersect. hit enter until it says answer. ti 84 works best
