Question

An x-method chart shows the product a c at the top of x and b at the bottom of x. Above the chart is the expression a x squared + b x + c. Consider the trinomial 6x2 + 13x + 6. The value of ac is . The value of b is . The two numbers that have a product of ac and a sum of b are 4 and .

Answer 1

Answer:

1. ac = 36

2. b = 13

3. 4 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² + 13x + 6

Fill in the gaps

Solving (1): The value of AC

The general form of an equation is:

ax² + bx + c

By comparison:

a = 6

b = 13

c = 6

So,

ac = a * c

ac = 6 * 6

ac = 36

Solving (2): The value of b

In (1) above, we showed that

b = 13

Solving (3): Two numbers that satisfy product ac and sum b

We have that.

ac = 36

If one of the numbers is 4, then the other number is

Other number = 36/4

Other number = 9

Alternatively, we have that.

b = 13

If one of the numbers is 4, then the other number would be:

Other number = 13 - 4

Other number = 9

Answer 2

Answer:

ac = 36

b = 13

The two numbers that have a product of ac and a sum of b are 4 and 9
